<p>That's cool but who is going to pay the upfront cost for the heat pumps?
The sources I could find say we currently have 412 heat pumps per 100k people in the UK.<p>Ordinary people can't just afford to drop 10k for a heat pump + installation for it to pay for itself 20 years down the line.</p>

<p>Is gas expensive though? It's like 6p per kWh at the moment with electricity about 25p per kWh for consumers.<p>I think gas is dirt cheap, heating your home and hot water with electricity is 4x more expensive and costs hundreds a month.</p>

<p>Yep, archiving feature flags and deleting the dead code is usually thing number 9001 on the list of priorities, so in practice most projects end up with a graveyard of them.<p>Another issue that I've ran into a few times, is if a feature flag starts as a simple thing, but as new features get added, it evolves into a complex bifurcation of logic and many code paths become dependent on it, which can add crippling complexity to what you're developing</p>

<p>I want to recommend a game you can pull out and explain in a couple of minutes that everyone tends to enjoy. I've played many a board games with people and this one has had unparalleled success in terms of enjoyment and replayability across broad audiences<p>It's called "So Clover!" and it's a word association themed game where each person gets four pairs of words, you write a one word clue for each pair, and then the rest of the group has to work backwards to figure out the original orientation of your cards (the cards themselves each have four words as well)<p><a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/329839/so-clover" rel="nofollow">https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/329839/so-clover</a></p>

<p>I'm hoping so. What's amazing is that with local models you don't suffer from what I call "usage anxiety" where I find myself saving my Claude usage for hypothetical more important things that may come up, or constantly adjusting prompts and doing some manual work myself to spare token usage.<p>Having this power locally means you can play around and experiment more without worries, it sounds like a wonderful future.</p>

<p>That was literally the opposite of my intention. Maybe the choice of word wasn't perfect, but basically, I was trying to highlight that domain expertise is still valuable in the specific scenario of software engineering.<p>The same could be said about any other job, if you put me against a construction worker and give us both expensive power tools, he will still do a better job than me because I have no experience in that domain.</p>

<p>A software engineer with an LLM is still infinitely more powerful than a commoner with an LLM. The engineer can debug, guide, change approaches, and give very specific instructions if they know what needs to be done.<p>The commoner can only hammer the prompt repeatedly with "this doesn't work can you fix it".<p>So yes, our jobs are changing rapidly, but this doesn't strike me as being obsolete any time soon.</p>

<p>A few months ago I was going through my secondary email and noticed I was getting a $0.01 monthly bill from AWS.<p>Having not used AWS for years, I logged in to check it out, navigated through the Kafkaesque maze of their services until I found what I was looking for:<p>A lone S3 storage bucket, with one file, "Squirrel.jpg". A 200kB picture of a squirrel that I uploaded 8 years ago and can't remember why.</p>

<p>Personally I love it and find it very intuitive.<p>It allows you to do stuff so much faster than having to type everything manually into the terminal. Also really enjoy the "Undo Last Commit" feature and how I can easily see all modified files at once and shuffle around stuff between the staging area.</p>
