The dots do help a little, but not much. I wouldnt use my phone for long while in a vehicle, though at the very least I no longer dread having to briefly read a text message if I have to.

I found your note on bad drivers interesting. For me, it's the quick acceleration, braking and turning that's the worst. A bit anecdotal, but I also experience car sickness less with women drivers. Maybe because they're usually easier on the acceleration and brakes?

The double space after a period, with the added effort to avoid browser whitespace condensing, is an interesting style choice. Is it meant to mimic old academic publications?

While present in some of their previous articles sparingly, this is the first one to use it consistently.

What should this function be named? I didn't care. Where should this config live? I didn't care. My brain was full. Not from writing code - from judging code.

Does it matter anymore? Most good engineering principles are to ensure code is easy to read and maintain by humans. When we no longer are the target audience for that, many such decisions are no longer relevant.

Pancreatic cancer is known for being incurable, even in the best of circumstances, early diagnose or not. Having witnessed a family member go through the same thing, I understand Jobs's reaction of trying literally anything else.

I take replacing myself as the ultimate challenge. Does anyone know of a workflow/tool that can from a prompt find which relevant files in a directory to include, and then update existing files and create new ones?

All the the tools I've tried require me to select which files to include in the context, and/or then require manually copying each snippet to where it should be... this makes me feel like a neanderthal in some bronze age cave.
