This mimics my experience with copilot (although not other coding tools like syntax highlighting.) Copilot can be extremely noisy and disruptive. It works best for me then I have it set up to only prompt on demand.

All the documentation is very clear and the behavior is consistent. It’s sub optimal for countries utilizing a .gov.{country code} scheme, but it would be extremely expensive to change. Many non English speaking countries use a different ab

I think the author is wrong about the demise of the 10x programmer, they are just going to look different. But the author identified many of the attributes they’ll still have- tenacity, tirelessness, and thoroughness. Also an insatiable cur

The UK blocking the merger doesn’t necessarily stop it. It could be overturned on appeal or the deal could be modified to suit the UK’s concerns. It’s also theoretically possible that the deal goes through despite the CMA not approving it.
