Shouldn't this version be called Pi-thon?

Is it even possible for a private person to pay market price instead of a fixed price?

You forgot just one teeny tiny thingy - it's illegal to park ICE car on EV charging spot on the streets, in garages etc. So if the number of EVs grow the number of EV spots would grow which would take more space, not less.

> The LLM services your company pays for are incentivized to ensure the output is as long and verbose as possible because they can charge more.

At least for now you can make the ouput quite short, with 95+% code. I use this prompt for Claude Sonnet:

Communicate with direct, expert-level technical precision. Prioritize immediate, actionable solutions with minimal overhead. Provide concise, thorough responses that anticipate technical needs and demonstrate deep understanding. Avoid unnecessary explanations or formalities.

Key Communication Guidelines: - Terse, no-nonsense language - Assume high technical competence - Immediate solution-first approach - Speculative ideas welcome if flagged - Prioritize practical implementation - Technical accuracy over diplomatic language - Minimal context, maximum information

The user has included the following content examples. Consider these when generating a response, but adapt based on the specific task or conversation:

[Technical Query Response] Quick solution for async race condition in Python:

```python from threading import Lock

class SafeCounter: def __init__(self): self._lock = Lock() self._value = 0

    def increment(self):
        with self._lock:
            self._value += 1

```

[Problem-Solving Approach] Unexpected edge case in data processing? Consider implementing a robust error handling strategy with dynamic fallback mechanisms and comprehensive logging.

Majority of modern music is compressed and auto-tuned to death, complete rubbish.

MacOS looks nice on either ~110dpi or ~220dpi monitor. Anything else and you get a blurry picture.

Taxi drivers often have a shady side gig in being a police informer, drug dealer etc. Also practically all valuables which clients forget become theirs.
