Why?

I used Zed for about 6 months but I lost motivation.

I have the full jetbrains subscription and use it for some debugging etc. I got vim for quick edits and cli tooling for ai. I got no use case for Zed.

looks like DW-5000C - not so good, but "yuck" is a bit too much, no?

Totally agree with this!!

I learned this when I started off as a junior dev. We had some shitty machines and the project compiled for like almost 10mins. Most of the people just read the news and stuff and for some reason I started reading Clean code from Bob Martin (probabbly someone sent me a pdf of it or something). I remember reading it all in a few weeks using those breaks. Then I just kept the habit for almost a year (until we got some better workstations).

That’s the promise, but not the reality :) Try this: pick a random startup idea from the internet, something that would normally take 3–6 months to build without AI. Now go all in with AI. Don’t worry about enjoyment; just try to get it done.

You’ll notice pretty quickly that it doesn’t get you very far. Some things go faster, until you hit a wall (and you will hit it). Then you either have to redo parts or step back and actually understand what the AI built so far, so you can move forward where it can’t.

>I was thinking of all the classic exploratory learning blog posts. Things that sounded fun. Writing a toy database to understand how they work, implementing a small Redis clone. Now that feels stupid. Like I'd be wasting time on details the AI is supposed to handle.

It was "stupid" then - better alternatives already existed, but you do it to learn.

> Am I alone in this?

absolutly not but understand it is just a tool, not a replacement, use it and you will soon find the joy again, it is there

But they are missing the blockchain component :)

I don't agree.

For many years now I use Linux. I pay for Slack because some of my clients use it and it is convenient. For some other clients I need to use Teams.

I like Teams better. I never had issues with them. Slack I reinstall every 2-3 months because it breaks in some weird way; last time yesterday when I uploaded a 'big file' (csv of a few mb), not only did it crash but restarting it didn't help. Teams work good for chating, for the calendar, and for video calls. I have a lot better experience with Teams for video calls than Google Meet.

I remember one of my interviews that went well in the end. In the middle of the interview, they mentioned using Java and building web apps. At the time, I was a C++ developer with no web development experience.

I said: "I never did web development," and their response was, "You do know how to write source code, don't you?"

I said: "Of course I do, but..."

They cut me off with: "You will pick it up, don't worry about it."

Don't worry about it. I will be broken or lost far before those 2 years :)

Godot is awesome. Thank you John Riccitiello!

I worked at a bar when I was young, listened to the stories; the most annoying protobuf deserialization issues or 'Agile meetings' are freaking fun compared to the most of the stories you can hear.

This is just comparing apples to oranges. Woodworking or any other hobby that you enjoy will be more pleasing than any real job you will do. Programming is fun, that is why you started doing it. Working as software developer can be less so.

> There’s a good chance some or all 7 will see people walk on the moon

Chance that a 88 year old male will live 6 more years is about 27% according to the tables [1]

So, a chance that at least one of those 7 lives 6 more years is about 89% (a bit less because some are older than 88), but that is the ballpark figure

I would call that more than a good chance :)

I had an open heart surgery and didn't get a blood transfusion.

False belief: woodpeckers have special shock-absorbing structures in their skulls to prevent brain injury.

Real reason why they don't get concussions: small brain size, short impact duration, and brain orientation within the skull.

However, their financial losses this year have exceeded even this ($1.6 billion in first 9 months alone)

Their projection of achieving profitability in the next fiscal year seems, under these circumstances, quite optimistic :)

We actually need the override right-click functionality in some cases. Most of the abused functionality had some normal use case at some point. It's a shame that bad actors make everyone's life harder.

I agree, but more than that; if we would find a way to avoid paying attention, a more pervasive way of pushing the adds would be invented.
