Sorry to pop your bubble, but a SaaS is the worst possible option.

Very cool. My first instinct was to buy a Clojure book.. so for those that had the same,

All the sudden it's a bad idea now that you can have people talk to a chat bot for 15 minutes.

There is significant suffering in the world. You and everyone else are drawing lottery tickets everyday. Kids are far from its only source or cause. I'm ill equipped to unpack the meaning of life, but I am certain that suffering is fundamental--your comment is probing at this idea.

This is a very difficult subject since there exists un-imaginable suffering and it's hard to reconcile that. That life is a gift under the umbrella of un-imaginable suffering. Perhaps, that's what spirituality tries to do, I don't know.

And, they buy a company writing tooling for Python in not Python.

> multi human single user system

A rather niche use-case to promote certificate auth... I'd add the killer-app feature is not having to manage authorized_keys.

I just hope FreeBSD dosen't get bit by the Rust in the kernel initative. Maybe it'll have to deal with it eventually, when, for example, expanding the compatiblity layer to support interoperability with Linux. But, maybe by then, at least Rust will have gone through its hype test gauntlet and we can see it for what it is instead of being tainted by a polticial power grab.

Ah, how naive. You're not squinting hard enough.

Depending on your process, there is nothing wrong starting with this tool (Neo) first. It's a classic dilemma. For your first tool, buy the cheapest one possible to get the job done. Once the tool becomes understoond, it's limits reached, it's place in the process discovered, then, buy the most expensive one you can afford.

The Neo is the right first tool for many people.

Your techinque doesn't keep the kool-aid flowing. Shut up. /s

The more I try to use these tools to push up this "ladder" the more it becomes clear the technology is a no more than a 10x better Google search.

If you use an LLM at work to produce code, does the company own the copyright to that code? ... hmmm.

> my whole career using regex and never fully grokking it

Sorry to hear that, nobody ever told me either. Had you invested a bit of time earlier in your career, it would have paid dividends 100x fold. The key is knowing what’s wheat and what’s chaff. Regex is a wheat.

With that said, maybe you tried.. everyone has their limits.
