I did a cost analysis when my work had our RTO mandate (minimum 3days in office).

From a retirement standpoint I keep hearing that not enough Americans are saving for retirement, so this would still be a win for me.

They can both be awful. Disliking one doesn't endorse the other.

Tin foil hat time:

Why would it be in Microsoft's, the owner of GitHub, interest to promote a competitor to Copilot on one of the largest developer platforms on the planet?

A game about running an AI company used AI in the creation of the game. I'm shocked I say, shocked!

Eh, just set a timer on your phone that matches what the display on the machine shows. It may not be an exact match, but it will get the job done for free.

I like that it's a framework with opinions vs React which is a "Library".
