Dollar value aside, if the argument you’re making is that the land now called NYC would have equivalent or greater value if it were today as it was then - that the subway system, roads, schools, hospitals, restaurants, apartments, etc. have

I’m not sure I agree with this but maybe I just lack self awareness? There are large portions of my codebases that are essentially extremely verbose grunt work. My UI stack, IaC YAML, thin CRUD routes, etc. I know what the code is supposed

Personally, I use a debug agent for that. I've never used breakpoint debugging, was always a printf debugger. And now an agent can do that loop for me. Prompt is usually something along the lines of: >I would expect the behavior of

Seems fairly measured to say that it’s not in the interest of the U.S. to build its economic foundation (energy production) on top of a technology it’s incapable of producing without the assistance of a country that’s been fairly open about

Didn’t know there were significant domestic supply chains for wind, solar, and battery tech. Thought a lions share of that was ultimately coming from China. Have any sources I can learn from?
