The desire to "not waste money" and "get back to even" seems like a huge part of what motivates gamblers to keep gambling.

As someone who had family members go through gambling addiction this is the primary mechanism behind it.

Addicts don't see it as "cool fun dopamine kicks" but instead find it the only way they can get back to normal/where they are supposed to be

Why not both. That's my approach.

Also stretching and mobility training.. using a split keyboard has been awesome because you really feel the difference compared to a "normal" keyboard once you've been paying attention to opening up the shoulders

The biggest problem for me is that I can't find a simple way to get started with Coalton.

I'm not a common lisp user, but I want to be. I want to learn common lisp, and I have a fair understanding of types. I think types can benefit the user in understanding more, as well as the inbuilt "intelligence" - (aka: How am I meant to know ahead of time that I can't add these two objects together? Having the editor tell me as I'm writing is a great step)

I have "mine" their text editor, now I just need some tutorials and sample projects to go with it.

If that was the case, code completion and templating would have been a revolutionary, world changing development in the field.

And yet this is "AI is world changing, look at how fast it can change code!"

So while you still try to navigate through files, others already have features out.

Your argument is "it can also read code faster too" - but it doesn't have the same tacit knowledge within the codebase. Documentation and comments can be wrong sometimes. Names are poorly chosen

That's the thing about reviews: the implementor doesn't know what's needed for the feature, but the reviewer now needs to. The latter can't trust the former anymore.

/Explain is constantly wrong. /Plan is constantly over engineered. /Tests are constantly fragile

The only benefit AI has produced to existing codebase is now people care a lot more about getting documentation right and adding little snippet/how-tos called "skills" or whatever.

that code is probably only ever supposed to be LLM maintained, not by people.

But LLMs are trying to mimic people. So if confusion is the human response, what's to stop the llm from acting confused?

I like this. And organising by feature has been something I've gravitated towards as a SWE, so I dig your thinking

Daily reminder that "championing human rights in the middle east" is the easiest thing in the world if you get to determine who is considered "human" and who is considered "cattle".

I think the important thing to remember, when they say "all humans deserve life and democratic process" - is the question of "what do they consider sub-human?" Ie: do they believe employees have souls? Or that the masses are cattle? Because it's then very easy to have strong conviction of human rights when you get to choose who is a human and who is cattle.
