Somehow I think that we'll sooner get hardware/OS support for memory safety than fully rewrite existing apps to memory-safe languages. Agree / disagree ?

An observation + tip: If the process of renaming things is "cheap", the process of naming is easy. Allow yourself to start with temporary, imprecise names. Later, use IDEs refactors to change and refine. Example: `listOfUsersGrouped` -> `groupedBySegments` -> `userSegments`.

Just realised how **insanely useful** inline Copilot chat is when working with multilingual texts / code. - no more tab/window switching - reading e.g. documentation in Chinese suddenly became possible In-sa-ne-ly. U-se-ful.

Reading a lot of noise about "Devin the SWE". So far, not impressing. Correctness around 15% is like a really-really junior dev which needs constant support from a senior. Let's observe & wait until someone gets to at least 50%. Until then Copilot-like tools are better.

X more and more resembles a cesspool. - Pornbots are ... harmless, can live with them. - But posts like 👇(from bots, I suppose) are way worse: they attract a lot of attention and **polarise** people. And you can't block them all.

We choked the weapons supply, we failed to provide enough air defence, and now we ask Ukrianians to sit on their hands while cruise missiles land on their families. Such mistakes are setting the course of the entire century. And there is no justification for any of this.

I'm not sold on Copilot coding for me. But 99.9% sold on it writing unit tests for _my_ code. Much (x3 ?) faster, especially with hints from Copilot chat.

When someone tries to convince that you need a native app because "web performs poorly", show them the Spotify desktop app 😎. Sleek, intuitive UI, and yet ... it's a rather standard React app.
