It's been a few years and I have yet to see a single novel thing come out of it. Even chatbots weren't novel when ChatGPT came out.


It's disingenuous to say ChatGPT is not novel relative to older chatbots. The capabilities of ChatGPT compared to what came before were astonishing and continued to improve at a rapid rate.


I've been jumping between Maple Mono and a custom Iosevka build that I've been tweaking here and there for the better part of 3 years. Jetbrains Mono is also really nice if you want something a bit more neutral.


As someone that switches between MacOS (dayjob) and Linux (my own PCs) workstations daily - I wish I could do the opposite for Linux. MacOS keyboard shortcuts are just way more intuitive to me, and they are way more consistent across applications.

Never saw the point of these desktop apps. Docker (and podman) works just fine from the CLI only.

agreed!

If my boss asked me a question like this my reply would be "exactly what you told me to build, check jira".

If you want to know if I'm more productive - look at the metrics. Isn't that what you pay Atlassian for? Maybe you could ask their AI...


As a senior engineer sometimes the system shows I did nothing because I was helping others. sometimes I get the really hard problem -'the isn't speller teh' type bugs are more common than thread race conditions - but a lot faster to solve.
