Agree. In the hands of a seasoned dev not only does productivity improve but the quality of outputs.

If I’m working against a deadline I feel more comfortable spending time on research and design knowing I can spend less time on implementation. In the end, it took the same amount of time, though hopefully with an increase of reliability, observability, and extendibility. None of these things show up in the author’s faulty dataset and experiment.

I stand by my assertion that these tools are all basically the same fundamental tech - LLMs.

Over generalizing. The synergy between the LLM and the client (cursor, Claude code, copilot, etc) make a huge difference in results.

I recently jumped ship from Apple to Android after being a diehard apple user for 10+ years. So far I am enjoying no longer being constrained by Apple's ecosystem and way of doing things. Worth noting Android and OS integrations are significantly less polished, but any technical user would be able to recreate the same features. I'm now using a S23Ultra + Tab S9 Ultra.

Not until switching to pulumi, did I realize Terraform is a lot more polished and simpler to read/use.

One monitor is for code and one is for docs, communication, misc programs I don’t need to focus on.

I don’t find this a distraction as my main monitor is code pretty much all the time. A quick glance I find less distracting than swapping desktops.

1. Optional: do install of neovim 2. git pull dotfiles 3. cd dotfiles 4. install.sh 5. Profit $$$

Sure, there's some initial setup time but I'm not seeing how its orders of magnitude faster unless your vim config is super bloated and/or has a lot of external dependencies.

I'm on my way back to doom emacs after a year using intellij + ideavim.

I get 90% of the features with LSP. Faster performance. Magit. Extreme configurability. It's easier to write a quick function in elisp and have it at my fingertips at anytime. (ie. M-x my/do-repetitive-thing)
