It would be great to add curated exhibitions alongside the single-artist retrospectives: rooms mixing works by several artists, the way a museum curator would assemble a show.

What about ASIC?

If they are intelligent they should fear and avoid humans as we killed so many of them and other species in the oceans.

I think you are talking about the US. In Europe (at least France & Germany) most professional classical musicians are doing it exclusively (we might be an outlier but it's the norm here), competition is fierce though but at that level it's a full time job. In France we have prestigious ensembles (Orchestre de Radio France, Opéra de Paris, Orchestre de Paris), roughly 20+ subsidised regional orchestras and opera houses, military and police ensembles. That's for full-time permanent job. Underneath that there's the intermittence regime (roughly 100k people) freelance entertainment professional. Between gigs, the government provides a special unemployment insurance program to maintain a steady income. Germany is the same story, on an even bigger scale (100+ state-funded ensembles) but no intermittence equivalent.

But even in the US, are you sure that musicians from the big 5 need side gigs? It seems that the salary in those orchestra are in the $100k-$200k range annually. Enough to live even in the most expensive cities, right?

Nobody will go to an exhibition or a museum to stare at code like we do with paintings. The public for creative programming is really thin.

"hackée" would be the real anglicisme of hacked. Lot of english words are used like real french verb (-er termination) (hacker, booker, spoiler, manager, etc)

That's how I learned git before GitHub, but it was a pain to configure DNS and port-forwarding when ISP didn't provide static IP.

When I started using Git around 2006, we didn't have GitHub. We used Google Code for SVN hosting, but we wanted to try Git because it was 'truely' decentralized, so we just pulled from other developers' computers directly. It involved setting up port forwarding on the router and letting your computer on 24/7. Fun times.

The table don't even add information, all but one cell share the same value for "When".

It seems like a cool idea, did you follow up with a product or an open source app?

I thought the same but I tried to create a small Django project with APIs, small React frontend from scratch, no LLM, no autocomplete, just a text editor. I was surprised it was all still there after a couple of hours. Not sure it's a skill that useful today, it feels like remembering your multiplication table.

The value is to control the tool chain from idea to production so it can be automated by agents. It's no secret that the final goal is to fully replace developers, the flow "idea to production". It's easier to control that flow if you control each tool and every step.

I won't be surprised if the next step is to acquire CI/CD tools.

The agent "personalities" and LLM workflow really looks like cargo-cult behavior. It looks like it should be better but we don't really have data backing this.

> If you truly care about the planet, don't have children.

That's a fallacy; people care about the planet precisely because of children. I don't care about the planet for its own sake; I care because of the humans who inhabit it and their future lives.

Also, humanity spent 100,000 years without flying around the globe, and I doubt they were all living hermit martyr lives.
