Yes ? If everyone suddenly started using English instead of Croatian it would be a net positive in my book. I'd probably get a lot better at casual English which is something I notice talking with non-Croatian speakers outside of work.

Your comparison implies that the web UI is faster than SSH once you know these tools ? You could have godlike Photoshop skills and it will take orders of magnitude more effort to get results. With SSH and shell scripts you'll likely be

I'm not arguing C++ is better than C since I have never worked on a non-trivial pure C codebase. I'm just saying enough things from C++ are not available that even tough the language is roughly a subset of C++, how you end up usin

Copilot cost is a joke unless you're running a sweatshop - it has to boost productivity in minutes/month to justify the cost considering dev salaries. Personally I think it's priced perfectly - it's a really good typing

Plop it into a LLM and ask it to summarize with references or reformat to your preference. GPT3.5-turbo does a decent job and you can always refer to original source with references.

Then compare it to EU ... People ragging on US tend to forget that inequality between EU members is larger than US states and they are of comparable size. So much for the egalitarian utopia.

Apple doesn't even hide the tax. The shit they get to pull with safari is beyond IE level - they straight up don't allow alternative browsers (beyond WebKit) on 50% of mobile market.

Referencing common data is not a weakness, but it does introduce tradeoffs - I'd take that over having to do a "have I updated every instance" whack a mole.

There's different kinds of knowledge - LLM kind (textbook knowledge mostly) isn't as valuable as a lot of people assume.
