I'm sure it is but cursor plus API usage is out of reach for my hobbyist usage

I'm surprised nobody is mentioning how cheap copilot pro is. $20 and you get all you can eat inference without using your own api key for the models on vs code agent mode.

Or they took something that was presented as LSD but was actually something else. This sounds like the kind of nerve damage people get from taking dangerous doses of MDMA. Not saying it's MDMA specifically but it could have been something neurotoxic.

I think capitalism might take care of this. Let's say we have tools that make devs 10x more productive. A company could lay off 90% of their engineers and produce as much as they did before generative AI. What if their competitor decides they're going to retain all of their engineers and produce 10x more than they did before? That's going to force everyone to staff up to be able to keep up with the 10x company.

I recently went through this and conda handled the python deps pretty well, but the nvidia cuda stuff was a massive pain to get the right things installed. I think it’s safe to blame nvidia.

Any examples? I always found it easy to grok but I'm not at a very high level so I'm curious where it gets hairy.
