Second this. I saw it in the theatre knowing nothing about it, am so glad I did. For one thing, the sound is fantastic -- it is perhaps the only movie I've ever seen where I noticed how great the sound was during the movie, how much it reinforced the sense of being present in the reality presented on the screen (I realize there is a bit of contradiction in saying that :).

A few years ago I noticed that I think about this movie that I randomly saw in 2006 (or whatever year it came out) at least once a week, if not more. Some real staying power.

There's a book Debt: The First 5000 Years (by the David Graeber that parent commenter references several times) that observes that there’s no documented case of a society that ran mainly on barter and then invented money to escape it. The "barter first, then money" story is mostly a thought experiment. I'm not in a position to confirm or refute this based on my own knowledge or to do the research to develop that knowledge, but I'm not aware of anyone seriously challenging Graeber on this point.

IIRC, Graeber suggests that debt comes first. Initially it is tracked by memory, then when that gets too complicated, some kind of item is chosen to represent debt, which then in some cases evolves into currency. I believe this process has been observed.

> human resources are still a zero-sum game, and every individual feeling super busy in their agentic silo doing a thousand things at once does not, in the end, help solve the kinds of projects that require cross-functional collaboration and team work.

This rings true.

I was just thinking that this kind of behavior is a glimpse of the future!

I looked up `-c` on macOS. It says it causes cp to use clonefile(2) instead of copyfile. So I looked up clonefile(2). It says:

    NAME
         clonefile – create copy on write clones of files
    
    SYNOPSIS
    ...
    
    LIMITATIONS
         Cloning directories with these functions is strongly discouraged.  Use copyfile(3) to clone directories instead.
    
But no explanation of why strongly discouraged.

Claude Whatever would actually be a pretty good product name

Is "only" doing a lot of work in your second sentence? Sometimes a change in degree is a change in kind.

I like the direction, but stewarded feels just a little too awkward to type or say to catch on. Perhaps "guide coded"? But it will be really hard to dislodge vibe coded from being generally applied to this concept, I think, in part because it is a catchy little term.

Rebasing in magit is so choice. I especially love magit-rebase-subset.
