<p>It's almost like C has keywords and pragmas for your compiler too. Neat!<p>It's really not different. This is just backward compatible (e.g. for intellisense). Honestly better than a #define that I have to declare to get a build going in a lesser C compiler (worst case, looking at you Apple).</p>

<p>> The most successful businesses are those that deeply understand something about their customers, about how to sell to their buyers. The most has never mattered. An army of agents doing endless busywork is not the path to success.<p>You're talking about the best businesses. Arguably the article is talking about the mean of the "startup" tranche of businesses.<p>Google isn't a SaaS. That's (is or is tangential to) the kind of businesses this article is referring to. And they make decent money, they just aren't a unicorn that didn't die.</p>

<p>It doesn't seem much worse to me if at all. Not a noticeable difference. That said, the laptop is only a year and a half old, with the battery cycle count at 314.<p>I also wonder if I'll have a "oh, the battery life _is_ much worse" moment soon, but not yet!</p>

<p>In the current/legacy market, people accept bugs in software because software was expensive and the alternatives are often few for that same reason.<p>Tomorrow's software will need to be _perfect_, or else it won't differentiate from "Claude, build a basecamp-style project management tool for my team".</p>

<p>Probably the same reason as oh-my-zsh, you don't need 90% of it. Further compounding the problem in an agent harness is that you are polluting the context window by throwing the kitchen sink at it.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I don't know yet because I updated for Xcode 27 + iPhone dev, so having an iPhone plugged in 24/7 is heavily spewing the results towards "much worse".<p>If I can still reply mid-to-late next week I'll let you know.</p>

<p>Per the article, that's the price OpenAI is willing to pay for an exploit that covers any account or integration one connects to their OpenAI account. Let that sink in.<p>I don't think the other commenters mentioning how server-side vulnerabilities aren't as lucrative in the black market are making that connection.</p>

<p>Maybe macOS 26 was lot bigger... but I went straight from Sequoia to Golden Gate and freed up like 30 GBs. I didn't have enough disk space to download the update prior, so the extra 30 GB wasn't that... but could've been caches I guess. I assumed it was dropping Intel?</p>
