This is already true if you want to run a piece of software on an iPhone, on MacOS, on Windows, on any video game console.

I find it amazing that skills are essentially excellent tools for humans to understand too.

Doesnt the tooling already exist? i.e. you could use `git notes` to attach agent state as checkpoints to Trees, Commits, Tags etc.

what about using git notes to stash the summaries? (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-notes)

*I'm so excited about landscape design. Can't wait to do more. Employing a gardener to do the gardening for me is really making me enjoy landscape design again!

This seems like a pretty easy thing to fix for the future. Make the standard in all suits such that all genitalia would fit without a problem. Just give everybody that advantage of a mini sail and let the records all come with an asterisk.

It's caused a massive shortage of interesting content that isn't related to AI.

What if... that whole post is written by AI, and the express intent of the post is to sand down our natural instincts for security, making it easier for malskill devs to take advantage?

They can offer a perk that literally no other tech job can offer: Someday have a statue of your likeness preserved in ceramic: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/internet-archive-headqua...

"Inside the church's main room, with its still-intact pews, there are more than 120 ceramic sculptures of the Internet Archive's current and former employees, created by artist Nuala Creed and inspired by the statues of the Xian warriors in China."

Yeah, no. Most companies do not have that exact hierarchy. Maybe at FAMGA etc, but most engineering jobs are not there.

Take a look at the original json.org license and all the problems that the "not for evil" clause they added to it had caused.

Ultimately though, if you put a non free license on your libraries, somebody will cry foul, fork it, and evil will still happen.

This sounds more like "How to add more devices to a botnet."

Exposing a port isn't exactly a safe thing to do nowadays, and I'd be wary of the security posture of an "old phone". Proceed with caution.
