<p>New Deal-era regulations on financial flows made it painful tax-wise to remove cash from a company. So you either had to pay it as dividends, or you invest it in R&D, wages, or benefits for employees (this is why companies used to have very plush benefits even for lower level managers). When combined with pretty aggressive anti-trust, it also funneled cash into business expansion via conglomerates.<p>Companies were asset rich (which is the seam of valuable companies that private equity has been strip mining for 40 years, but even those are running out now).<p>Share buybacks are more symbolic that the Reagan era made it easy to take cash out of companies, which led to a race to the bottom of extracting as much cash as possible while leaving little for operations, wages, or expansion.</p>

<p>I don't think they're offering a VSCode fork, esp when the copy you pasted says 'move beyond the IDE'.<p>Seems more like an agent layer on top of their existing CDE product. Which is a bit different than a cursor/windsurf/etc clone.</p>

<p>You aren’t really going to get addicted to therapeutic doses. Recreational doses are like 5-10x what a doctor would prescribe, with restrictive laws in the U.S. you can only get a months supply at a time.<p>Would be pretty dumb to use your months dosage for 3 days of partying</p>

<p>Do you have ADHD? Because as someone that has it, it's definitely very much something that heavily impacts the individual with it, and not just society.<p>It's hard to consistent do things, form habits, maintain attention. You have almost a lack of object permanence, a hard time remembering long-term memories, etc. There are so many problems it causes that aren't even occupational related but lead to negative outcomes outside of your personal engagement in social and economic environments.<p>Yes, society isn't really designed for folks with ADHD, but also the prevalence of  ADHD was somewhat disguised by the fact that mental health had a social stigma and that smoking was incredibly common and people were basically microdosing stimulants every hour as such. It's not that shocking to think that the decline in smoking made adhd much more apparent.</p>

<p>Too many psychiatrists do very little continuing education in their practice. I have heard more than a few try to asset that ADHD can only be diagnosed for children.<p>As if a neurodevelopmental disorder just magically vanishes when you hit age of majority.<p>It's pretty wild that despite it being a disorder that has been documented for hundreds of years, people still make the argument that people are just lying.</p>
