They're also taking the heat because it's a decision, and decisions carry moral weight. They're following their policy, but it's a policy they've chosen, not one that's legally compelled. It has implications, and they are free to reexamine and refine it. Not doing so is also a choice.

Last time I was there I remember thinking there's a rental opportunity for the sporting goods stores. Rent cans of bear spray, with a reasonable deposit. Return it unused to get your deposit back.

Back when Steve Jobs was at Next, Apple released the Duo Dock. Instead of plugging your laptop into a docking station, you put it in a slot like a giant 3.5" floppy. It was different, sure, but I still don't know what design problem it solved.

This is today's Duo Dock, isn't it?

How flammable are cellulose products? Would that be a concern for this sort of packaging?

We use a collapsible (plastic) shopping basket/tub-with-handles for wet produce, the stuff the grocery store insists on spraying periodically, and things like tomatoes where we don't care if they get wet. The store clerks are used to it now and prefer it because they don't have to scan through bags and just put the produce back in the basket afterwards.

If you go this route, keep onions and garlic separate. They last longer if they stay dry.

This report tallies with my own experience.

It's especially an issue with type-ahead tools that hallucinate function names or introduce subtle bugs: you lose time and get bumped out of the flow as you evaluate the AI's proposal. (Or fix it, if you were unfortunate enough to accidentally hit tab while indenting a line and the AI slipped in a change.)

The agentic tools do better but don't yet have enough context to know that making this change _here_ will break that thing over _there_, so they require a lot of management, which seems to engage a part of the brain than coding.
