Same setup as mine, I have an OpenVPN server running in my router, and my main PC has wake-on-lan and a KVM as a backup to turn it on and off.

I have an old used Dell Latitude that I use as a pseudo thin client. I ssh into my PC, and everything just works.

I really like this setup because I only have one environment, so everything is there, and I don't have to install anything in the laptop

Exactly, I found that most of the time, I spend significantly more time reviewing the code; most of the time, there is a lot of repeated code. Refactoring and cleaning the code also require a lot of time.

I found that the time I spend reviewing and refactoring is marginally less than the time it takes to write the code myself. For very repetitive tasks, there is a sweet spot.

The only case where vibe-coding really delivered on the promise of super high-speed development is when you completely gave up on the code quality or you are in a greenfield project where all the business logic hasn't been fully defined.

I don't want to look at my iPhone every time I need to unlock it, for example, when I am riding my motorbike, the helmet would block my face. This isn't a problem when I use Touch ID because I can use fingerless gloves. Another case is when I need to discreetly check my phone for a moment, like when I am in a meeting or a dinner.

I don't have anything against Face Id, BUT I just don't see why they eliminate the sensor and remove the option.

Me too, I still have my iPhone SE, I was hoping they would bring back some smaller version of the iPhone + Touch ID, I refuse to upgrade just because of the lack of Touch ID

I completely agree, I did a very small chat app just for fun, I thought, this is only going to take me a couple of days and before I realized it, that couple of days became weeks and it never felt finished, there was always something to add.

Similar story to mine, 7 YOE backend dev, working non-stop since I got into college, Hope that at least you got some rest.

What a coincidence, that was my setup as well but for my next(now current) pc, I changed it to a Radeon R7 250, (nvidia is fine but dealing with the drivers on linux was a pain in the neck)

only one small problem with that idea, the lack of a magnetic field, mars also has this problem but you atlest can bury your self in the ground to protect yourself agains the solar radiation

Same boat as you, waiting for the second generation, I don't event want to jump to the apple ecosystem but the battery life + performance at that price range makes it a almost a non-brainer for me

The "near you" list sent me to amsterdam, I'm in bogota, like a continent away, Maybe you should check your geo-ip api/db

Bad idea in mi opinion, this is a solved problem, overhead wires, the amount of energy lost between the converting water into hydrogen and then back into water to get electricity can be as high as 70%, it's just a bad idea when you can use that energy directly using wire to get the same job done

THIS IS GOLD!, I love it, I event click the paypal link to see if you have some old school fake paypal payment gateway.

By the way the upload example form is broken, making it actually work would be awesome
