I would maybe use Haiku 5.5 for highly parallel workflows like checking in on MRs or scanning my entire codebase.
Nice. I was starting to think that Haiku got abandoned.

It takes time. On many dimensions, the Framework running Linux is laughably worse. I never thought about battery life while the lid is closed until my Framework.
That being said, running Linux is very fun and can be productive if you choose a well-supported distribution and desktop environment. I landed on KDE Plasma and Fedora/Kununtu. It has been my daily driver and I see no reason to go back.
My gateway to Linux was buying an old Thinkpad T580 and messing around Arch Linux. If you’re on the fence, this may be a good place to start.

Ah, so this is how the source code got leaked.

Disruption happens when firms are disincentivized to switch to the new thing or address the new customer because the current state of it is bad, the margins are low. Intel missed out on mobile because their existing business was so excellent and making phone chips seemed beneath them.
The funny thing is that these firms are being completely rational. Why leave behind high margins and your excellent full-featured product for this half-working new paradigm?
But then eventually, the new thing becomes good enough and overtakes the old one. Going back to the Intel example, they felt this acutely when Apple switched their desktops to ARM.
For now, Claude Code works. It's already good enough. But unless we've plateaued on AI progress, it'll surpass hand crafted equivalents on most metrics.
Coding, writing, summarizing, translating, data analysis, customer support, test generation.
They're in the app stores. Apple's review times are skyrocketing at the moment due to the influx of new apps.
This is a worthy tradeoff! Phones are bigger than ever and scrolling is incredibly simple.
