> Bigger problem is that they teach the fundamentals with the abandonware that is turbo pascal instead of using something like the modern Free Pascal Compiler. Which means knowledge of what is possible outside curricula is limited.

FreePascal can compile TP programs with no changes except for the MS-DOS graphics. A student can swap FP for TP and the code will keep running. But yes, I would switch to FP from the start if I were in charge.

You assume there will still be free elections and democracy. There is also the possibility that the form of government will change into something else.

On Linux you have full control, you can disable swapping if you want to preserve your disk. You can also use a less heavy UI manager and further reduce memory usage. You have, in theory, more options to control what runs on the hardware than on a Mac.

I can bet in a few months we will see a book from Uncle Bob Martin about coding without reading the code or something about how to increase your productivity in the age of AI.

AlexeyBrin — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 02:32:24 +0000

> I wonder how long software projects will even be able to ban LLM use in an age where exploits are found by LLMs.

You can use an LLM to scan your human written code for exploits and patch the relevant ones yourself without any LLM code generation. An LLM is a tool, you can chose how you use it.

You can replace the tga with bmp which is natively supported by Windows and not difficult to implement (if you prefer to use a C library look for stb libs).
