Disagree, you definitely don’t want to be looking back saying “hm I knew it, I saw the signs, should have trusted myself”

Plus it’s not a huge lift right now

I made this exact same decisions (bun -> pnpm) for similar reasons, mostly bc I didn’t like how haphazardly a core part of the stack was being vibe coded. Too many changes too quickly for something that’s supposed to be stable

“Official” means built by the creators of Elixir itself

Elixir has more contributors than just Jose (though he is the OG / creator / leader)

Early days as in the first ~4 months of the journey (which is lifelong…a formerly obese person will always be highly likely to regain the weight)

It’s a life changer because when you’re at a significant caloric deficit, your body sheds both fat and muscle. When you lose muscle, your metabolic rate drops, also lowering your rate of fat loss

If you lift even a little, your body will hang on to muscle more effectively, making it easier to lose and maintain weight over a longer period

Latest research (as in only ~2m old) dispels that narrative a bit but not entirely. Looks like spermidine is the autophagy signal but they’re not sure fasting does t always increase spermidine

Also…lifting light weights for like 10 minutes a day at home is a lifechanger in the early days

Bc your proposed situation is a fantasy

No processor can come close to performance per watt, and performance per watt wins the laptop market. Laptop market dominates PC sales

The grass is not the same on the other side
