I just tested it. Only claude Haiku responded like this. Smarter models like Sonnet and Opus said that you would need your car to get it washed.

No, but i really would like a chrome extension to block out all the people complaining about AI on every site.

No, not really. The power button on the galaxy was previously a bixby button. They just changed the assistant that gets called uppon. AI Suggestions in search engines are sometimes practical and you can always choose to ignore them. AI is only a net loss for humans that use it instead of thinking. Used well its an incredible tool. Same goes to ownership offloading. Our company heavily encourages AI use, but the work you create with it is your responsibility. So if you dont check it, you are the one to blame. The energy consumption is really a thing that needs to be talked about, but its not that bad as its often stated. We already use buttloads of energy to stream movies, stream games, do stupid crypto stuff and the amount of bad mouthing AI gets for its energy consumption is just not proportional. If i run a local LLM on my GPU i am a forest killer, but using the same GPU to run a heavy game is ok?

but there is. VSCode core may be open source, but the plugin marketplace certainly isn't. So if you for example use VSCodium, you don't have access to the plugin marketplace and eather have to use an alternative or manage your plugins completely manually on the filesystem.

hmm.. but you also spent a lot of time to learn programming. Why not invest some time in the use of professional tools? If you master an editor like vim, you'll never need to spend time to learn additional IDEs. In the past i needed to learn VSCode, Eclipse, IntelliJ, XCode, Visual Studio and some other niche IDEs. All have very different menu structures and keybinds. Just to unify that was worth the time learning vim.

not really.. vim is easy to extend and adapt. You loose that with only vim mode in vscode. You also loose the ecosystem and relevant core functionality like most vim core functionality like :grep :vim :make, quickfix list, arglist etc..

I dont know.. The argument i read all the time is "i don't want to invest time in vim". But what kind of professional spends hours uppon hours learning his craft (programming), but is unwilling to invest some of those hours into mastering professional tools? What about sharpening the axe? The amount of time i saved by sticking to vim is definitly more that the time i needed to learn it.. IDEs are easy mode and waste of resources. Its ok to start with them as a noob, but down the line i want to customize every part of my toolchain. (And thats just horrible to do in VSCode etc..)

It’s something people love to be, but in a world with recorded audio, you don’t need as many musicians as you once needed (and it was actually a fairly common job). > Well, and because people love it, many will still be passionate musicians / writers / language savants. They just won't make a living out of it. And thats ok. The intrinsic motivation to do those things is recreational and the focus on monetization contributed to the "content is plague" trend in the first place.

or when you want immutablity and a functional programming style. or if you prefer manipulating lisp ast instead of wrestling indentation. or if you need somewhat decent performance, or if you need somewhat decent multithreading, etc etc..

But clojure is not meant to be developed statically! It is supposed to be running while developing it. You don't need static analysis if the programm is running and inspectable.

You are wrong.

Static typing only leads to devs trying to press the real world in stupid arbitrary categories.

I've prepared a boiler-plate response for autistic nitpickers like yourself:

Static typing is not "obviously good" The comparison is flawed. There are no advantages to driving without a seatbelt, but there are pros and cons to dynamic typing.
