<p>Looks like a clear divide in people‘s experiences based on how they use these new tools:<p>1) All-knowing oracle which is lightly prompted and develops whole applications from requirements specification to deployable artifacts. Superficial, little to no review of the code before running and committing.<p>2) An additional tool next to their already established toolset to be used inside or alongside their IDE. Each line gets read and reviewed. The tool needs to defend their choices and manual rework is common for anything from improving documentation to naming things all the way to architectural changes.<p>Obviously anything in between as well being viable. 1) seems like a crazy dead-end to me if you are looking to build a sustainable service or a fulfilling career.</p>

<p>> Like every year, I decided to travel to FOSDEM by car. It is not the most relaxed option, but it comes with one very important advantage: arriving early enough to secure a parking spot directly on campus. That also means the journey starts very early in the morning, long before the city fully wakes up.<p>Curiously backwards. That's one way of reframing a disadvantage as an advantage. The train connection seems to be 3h15m to 3h30m from Neuss train station to FOSDEM. A single connection for the long-distance train in Cologne, the rest is local public transport within Brussels.<p>(The OP may been /s without me realizing.)</p>

<p>How fair would you think if a potential employer assumed from your (hypothetical) incompetence in picking a suitable hairstyle and outfit for an interview that you were not fit for a non-customer facing role?<p>While it absolutely makes sense to keep your important data backed up, I know people who were great academics in their field and yet managed to delete all their PhD work (before services like Dropbox and OneDrive became common).</p>

<p>And here I was hoping OP was being sarcastic. Yet it‘s reasonable we‘re nearing an AI-fueled Homer drinking bird scenario.<p>Some concepts people try out using AI (for lack of a more specific word) are interesting. They will add to our collective understanding of when these tools, paired with meaningful methods can be used to effectively achieve what seemed out of reach before.<p>Unfortunately it comes with many rediscovering insights I thought we already had, badly. Others use tools without giving consideration to what they were looking to accomplish, and how they would know if they did.</p>

<p>They do have an export functionality, which I encourage everyone using Claude to use occasionally. This is unfortunately reality–most of us are using digital platforms and services which can be taken away. From vacuum robots to digital thermostats and email accounts and llm's conversation history.<p>Migrate to services you trust the most where it makes to you. Occasionally export data from all of them, more and less trusted, anyways.</p>

<p>> This was probably fine 4000 years ago, when the world was looser, and people could find their place in life regardless of their particular quirks, but not so much nowadays.<p>Is this likely? My overgeneralizing gut feel would be that more people who would have traits which might be perceived as unusual and impede survivability 4000 years ago would be more likely to receive a chance to live a regular lifespan in most today‘s societies.</p>

<p>> NATO was monitoring the Baltic States air space from ground radars and from a Gielenkirchen based AWACS several hundred kilometers back near the German/Polish border.<p>There is also no place called „Gielenkirchen“. It‘s likely a typo of „Geilenkirchen“, which indeed does have a NATO base. But it is also at the German/Dutch border, while the article places it at the German/Polish border.<p>I am questioning the rest of the article based on these findings. They are straight-forward to check before publishing.</p>
