Yeah, sadly most people don’t know or don’t care most likely.

Unless it’s in their face causing them friction they will just continue to use it as an appliance.

Yeah if kids are sufficiently motivated all it takes is one vial YouTube tutorial.

I don't see the relation here, to be honest. How is immigration enforcement about racists wanting to be lazy?

The people paying illegal immigrants minimal wages under the table are far more analogous to slave owners in my mind.

So this is a competitor to something like OpenCode or Pi? I suspect for most developers, they are using Claude Code or Codex CLI mainly just so they don't have to pay-per-token and can use the subscription products - which I assume can't be done with Warp Agent?

I think you may be confusing 'the right' more broadly with the current Republican party. There are absolutely coherent conservative viewpoints that mirror/oppose those that we consider 'the left', which aren't "reactionary" by nature.

What is "reality"? Is there really any such thing as ground truth for most things?

This is an absurd statement. A “kill list”? Please.

The blame should be on Microsoft and LG, both.

Hasn’t that always been the way? A little Super PAC and some lobbying to grease the wheels

Sound advice, honestly, especially the "no I'm always the victim attitude" piece.

The more politically-charged parts of your comment apply to both sides - it's fine if you have political opinions, but nobody wants them shoved down their throats, or brought up at work. If you come across as someone who is going to put politics over work, or cause conflict, then people aren't going to want to hire you and deal with that.

Yeah I saw the headline and was interested to read a well-reasoned macro perspective on how and why attitudes have shifted towards AI, misconceptions, predictions on the future, etc.

Instead I got another one-sided unhinged rant that looks straight out of a typical Reddit post.

Do you do your dev work on the windows machine (referenced in the docs), or do you remotely access it from a separate machine? I ask because I have a RTX 3090 kicking around in a gaming desktop, but I don't use it for any dev work (I use a Macbook Pro).

Well said. People love to make everything black and white / good and bad. But things are rarely that simple.

I grew up and live in the southeast. I also lived on the west coast for a decade.

I find your comment completely off base.

Seat belt laws are an interesting example though because they only apply when driving on public roads. You can drive your car with no seat belt on a private track all day if you want to.

I’d argue putting everything in terms of black and white is the bigger issue than understanding nuance
