Raspberries are cool for tinkering with hardware, learning how to write kernel drivers etc. But I think this is how maybe 30% of Raspberries are used. People do uncanny things to turn those boards into something we already have on the market - mini PCs, and thin clients. For my home server, I replaced Raspberry Pi with a used HP T630 I bought for the quarter of the Pi's price, and that was a good decision.
Frequently used argument against mini PCs is lack of GPIO. There are adapters based on FT2232H. The drivers are lame or non-existent, though, so I wrote one by myself, so the chip appears in system as native GPIO port which makes it easier to use with various programs. "itachilab/ftdi-gpio" if someone is interested.
People easily forgot how they laughed at wizards in Harry Potter series who said "You-Know-Who" instead of "Voldemort". Now they are doing exactly the same thing.
I used to code at night with a kerosene lamp sitting on my desk. I love the light spectrum of a live fire.
"Portable" (they couldn't even fit in a pocket) CD players were the worst thing imho. Too sensitive to even small shocks, which was particularly annoying while taking longer walks, and draining batteries like crazy. I switched from cassette players to MP3 players, almost completely skipping the era of CD players. I've tried it once or twice because my sister had it, and never again.
What other social interactions are needed more than: "One flat white to go, please", and "Thank you"? Asking genuinely, because I don't know what else I can say.

Money.

Is saying "you have cardiovascular issues" labeling or diagnosis? Where would you draw the line? We have a definition of a healthy heart, likewise we have a definition of a healthy brain. If I suffered a stroke, it's not because my body is unique, it's because of a disease.
Can't tell what would be the best case (pun intended) for you, depends on the language you use. Yes, it will eventually end up as some sort of look-up table, though switch statement is the last option I'd use (assuming you gonna have more than 20 cases or so).
The good thing of programming without generative assistants is that it makes you think how to make the algorithm and the code better to avoid too much manual work. Laziness of engineers is crucial for automation and optimisation.
So... Mindless coding is it? The best part of coding is doing research and learning. Coding, for the pure sake of finishing the project as soon as possible with the least involvement, sounds like doing unpleasant chores.
At least when reading a human-made material you can spot author's uncertainty in some topics. Usually, when someone doesn't have knowledge of something, he doesn't try to describe that. AI, however, will try to convince you that pigs can fly.
Apparently, it's not only em-dash that's distinctive. I've went through comments of the leader, and spot he also uses the backtick "’" instead of the apostrophe.
I've scored pretty high on the "inattentive scale", but got only a few points on the "hyperactive" one. I was told that both scales must be high to be diagnosed with ADHD.
I passed the test at 100%. Still, I had gone through a professional assessment not that long ago, and I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD because I lack hyper motion activity. I compensate it with ultra-hyper brain activity, but that doesn't qualify for ADHD. However, they've found some trails of ASD in turn.
