I hope you aren't missing the point. My position is similar to the author. I WILL take responsibility for the code I push to production, and rather than input a prompt and roll the dice on the outcome, I am strategic in my prompts, ensuring the LLM has the right context each time I I voke it, some of that context being accurate descriptions of what I want built, and I am in charge of ensuring it has been properly vetted. Many times I will erase what the LLM has written and redo it, by myself depending on the situation.

Replace "LLM" with "IDE" and re-read. The LLM is another tool. Of course tools can't be held responsible, the person wielding the tool is.

Humans average one police reported accident per 500,000 miles?!

TIL I'm incredibly unlucky.

I went searching and realized overthewire has a bash specific course called "Bandit". Still a VM you SSH to

I would love something like this that puts me in my own shell. Like a light CTF that is really just shell commands rather than breaking into a VM

You won't be given a year's supply of medication.

You will be cursed with years of calling every pharmacy in town once a month to figure out which one has your medication in stock this time, and once you figure that out, you stay on the phone with them until you walk into the store to pick it up so they don't give it to someone else.

Why did you copy the dictionary's definition nearly perfectly, but then add "without logic"?

In many cases, the conservative approach to a problem is prudent because the old ways work whereas there is more risk and uncertainty with new.

That's not fear, it's wisdom.

Where does "providing a choice to people in tough situations" end? When is it wrong to terminate a life because you're in a tough situation?

Reading the article, I thought every positive mentioned is also in VS Code, but VS Code has a larger more mature community.

What drew you to Zed over VS Code?

ISO 8601 is the only correct date format.

I don't care if people laugh at me when I sign documents and date them with "2025-01-16"

The one time I considered cancelling my current provider (Comcast where I have gigabit), I found the alternative was CenturyLink with 20 Mbps.

As if to rub salt in the wound, Comcast then upgraded me to 2000 Mbps which I can't even use with my current hardware.

I don't know about other property seized as evidence, but my car costs a nontrivial amount for me to own and maintain, and it's critical for my way of life. Losing my car for even a couple of days would be a very serious disruption of my life.

Reminds me when my daughter made her Roblox account. They had some rule "don't use your real name" but they never asked her for her real name, so couldn't validate. They would arbitrarily fail a lot of chosen usernames that were made up fake names.

When she tried a variation of "Taylor Swift" it worked fine.

Those rules sound more like they were developed by admins that don't know proper security and so they add complicated rules to feel like they are improving security.

The only password rule that needs to exist is "use something you've never used before". That really does make it difficult for most users though.

The number one reason I forget my watch (Garmin) is because it was on the charger the once in like 10+ days I needed to charge it.

That is a big deal to me personally, that's an extra routine I have to incorporate into my day that given the option I'd rather not.
