Stop washing your hands and showering and see how that goes. I'm not advocating for fab level cleanliness, just a certain level of it.

tangential, but I don't understand why keeping your shoes on in your house is a thing. It's so unsanitary. The bottom of your shoes are in contact with things like the floor of public bathrooms, animal feces (when walking on grass), dirt, mud, etc.

And it's so much more comfortable to be in your house barefoot, with socks or with slippers.

So much cleaner. I'm disgusted when people try to walk in my house with their shoes on.

for existing codebases, isn't doing /init in the project root good enough? I just like to keep things simple.

My experience as well and this was at public school. I really thought that was the only way to write a good essay.

I'd even argue LLMs can speed up this iterative process.

> Israelis can either learn to live like human beings in peace

Again, the Jews agreed to the two state solution outline by the UN in 1947. It was the Arabs who rejected it. It is the Arabs who need to learn to live in peace.

The two state solution is the fairest solution because historically, both Arabs and Jews were in the land. In fact, if you go back far enough, Arabs and Jews share the same ancestry. The Jews were not "invaders"

> I'll lose understanding of the code, because I didn't write it.

What about code that other (human) engineers write? Do you not understand that code too because you didn't write it?

What a dumb argument.

> But the traffic will be there regardless

Isn't the point to use the GPS to avoid the traffic? In my experience, it's pretty effective a lot of times for that.
