So if you are lucky you might end up with something that still runs but most folks won't find it particularly useful

That one jumped out to me too. The phrasing is so wiggly but technically correct it feels intentional. When I saw it I didn't blame it on the LLM, which is worse.
Otherwise it's a super cool looking project
The problem is everyone along the line is incentivized to be aggressive with estimate (commissions for sales are bigger, public financials looks better) and discouraged from correcting the estimates when they go wrong.
Estimating multi-year returns on frontier models looks harder than estimating returns on oil and gas projects in the 90s.

It isn't 1:1 since there probably won't be ansible provided configs, but I find writing nix devshells per project to be low effort and high reward. It'll only be a couple lines if all you need is a specific version of ansible
My devshell can be found here and is dead simple: https://github.com/stusmall/stuartsmall.com/blob/main/defaul...
I used Zola for my SSG and can't think of the last breaking change I've hit. I just use the pattern of locked nix devshells for everything by default. The extra tools are used for processing images or cooklang files.
"We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators" - Dick Cheney (but I'm sure it'll work out this time)
There is a whole lot of directions this can go after we arrest the dictator, but a liberal democracy magically immediately popping isn't on my list. There might be one in the future but there will be a lot of chaos and violence between now and then.
It's okay for something to be a good thing and to celebrate it. We don't have to frown about everything.
I'm not dealing with the scale other people are in here. We should take the ancedotes of personal laptops with a grain of salt. Anyone pushing the scale that Dell does will have incidents where service runs totally off the rails. I don't know how they stack up at scale but I'm reading this thread with interest. When I'm due for a laptop upgrade Dell will still be in the running but right now Framework might be the one to get my business.
What exactly does this mean? I haven't touched .NET in earnest in over 10 years. I know the ecosystem has evolved a lot since then, but I don't know how or in what ways
Non-negligible in that it happens in almost every thread about rust. As in it isn't a rare occurrence.
EDIT: I hadn't fully gone through the comment section on this one yet and yikes it's worse about it than normal.
