Whatever you do, add ventilation and if you think you have added enough, add some more. If you do not believe me, go and visit some of Tokyos capsule hotels close to the party districts. Nothing is more worse than the feeling to breath what has very recently left intoxicated people from one or the other side. Also for the sake of avoiding drama on those trains, add snoring tests.

So many smart people out there developing brilliant PDF tools—it's truly impressive! And yet... we still have billions of XFA-based form PDFs lurking in the shadows. Forgotten. Unopened. Untouched. Why? Because almost no tool can handle them.

Where is the hero who will rise to the challenge? The one who will finally rescue thousands of office and admin workers from the endless misery of XFA hell—a nightmare Adobe created and then abandoned in a pit of form chaos years ago.

Seriously, we need you. The world needs you. Be the one who ends the suffering. Be the legend.

Tragically, ChatGPT might be the only "one" who sycophants the user. From students to workforce, who is getting compliments and encouragement that they are doing well.

In a not so far future dystopia, we might have kids who remember that the only kind and encourage soul in their childhood was something without a soul.

I really like the comments on the prompt engineering from the cursor crew. Any chance for a blog article "convert the AI code tool into your best peer-programming buddy"? E.g. I added to mine to be sarcastic in both interpretation and answers, resilient against swearing (do not apologize) and add subtile elements of reference to star trek and other nerdy scifi stuff.

Honestly, that did not make the code in any way better or me more productive but getting a prompt like "Wetware seems tired and overlooked some rookie mistakes, let me fix this for you..." makes me so much more enjoying the system.

Nowadays I'm a normal Emacs user. Was a heavy emacs and org-mode user some years ago, with hundred of lines of customized lisp code to tweak Emacs. That said, looking at the repro, I still didn't get exactly what Neomacs is actually doing.

I would really appreciate some short Screencast, a bit more introduction, some examples, to get an idea what we are looking at. Maybe it is just me, but I feel that Neomacs is great and might get a user base, if potential users been able to understand within a few seconds what they are looking at.

You know, our attention span went downhill since YouTube shorts and TikTok videos
