<p>I had the same issue with a different key on 2 separate macs. A 1 and a 2 year old MacBook pro. 95% of the time I'm WFH using magic external keyboard, which also has the same problem so I bought a new one. Keyboards are a massive problem at apple.</p>

<p>I agree. The author seems only happy with RAG, insert nail/hammer quote.<p>I think of contradictory examples where the article doesn't make sense: LLM Chat products are just the product of training data. Generative coding applications take 1 prompt and generate a lot of code.<p>What this article did make me think is the existing Chat UI in coding apps are too limiting. Some have image attachments, but we need to allow users to input more detail in their prompt (visually, or by having a pre-generation discussion about specifics). That's why I think product engineers will benefit  from AI more than non technical folk.<p>Also, do you have resources that align with those opinions?</p>

<p>Absolutely! Imaging setting a bunch of css styles through a long winded AI conversation, when you could have an IDE to do it in a few seconds. I don't need that.<p>The long tail of niche engineering problems is the time consuming bit now. That's not being solved at all, IMHO.</p>

<p>This checks out with someone I know who grows their own plants, and me, who doesn't spend time growing plants. We're both not interested in the product.<p>Maybe it has a niche. Millionaires who want to go on holiday but still like to grow plants. It seems more like a gimmick.</p>

<p>I still use StackOverflow. Not as much as I used too, thanks to GPT, but still multiple times a day. What I find is that I spend less time on SO.<p>However, IMHO deleting questions you originally wrote in the past is hurting other users more than it is hurting AI training.<p>Other users cannot write similar answers to yours, because it doesn't add anything and they'd get downvoted or deleted. So if you hadn't written your answer years ago, others could've written something similar. Also, other users may have commented on your questions/answers. Their efforts would be lost/deleted if you deleted your questions/answers.<p>Thanks for your previous contribution to the community. But I would say the worst you should be able to do is remove your name/anonymise your posts, not just delete them.</p>

<p>I tried doing that (I pay for Obsidian Sync, and have a lot of plugins so I run only the bare minimum plugins I need on mobile), but app start time and syncing time on mobile makes this quite a bad experience. Instead, when I need to write something quickly, I create a temporary Google Keep note.<p>When I'm back at my laptop, I merge it into my Obsidian Vault.</p>
