I pretty much only upvote. Downvoting feels petty and people need to be straight up wrong, post intentionally misleading articles or similar to receive a downvote. I don't downvote for example if I disagree, disagreeing is normal and inevitably happens.

    I think 200 sounds enough to be honest. I only hit limits when I'm doing some intense refactoring jobs and generally stuff that should rather be done by writing code that writes code.

    Refactoring common patterns can often be done 90% by just writing a tool with the LLM instead of using the LLM to directly change something. Faster too

    That's all true, but not using the arms as a counterbalance is going to reduce the amount of force you can put through the leg. There's also a huge energy expense from putting the center of mass not directly on top of the foot when acceleration slows down, instead of using the body as a spring to bounce on the ground the muscles are used to avoid falling forward.

    Just for funsies Caesar is also the ancestor of Tzar and Keizer which covers a lot of European country words for emperor. Emperor coming from Imperium, also Latin but Roman empire actually used Augustus (like English augment meaning elevated as in the citizen of the empire that was elevated). Eastern Roman empire (commonly referred to as Byzantine) used Basileus which survives as basilica and basil the herb.

    I also check outside temperature with my nose. It's very reliable since the nose has a very even temperature, the cold sting on the nose is good for -10 to 10 degrees. Also outside just smells very different by how hot it is from 15 to 35. Celsius that is.

    Yeah, it's the new reality. Now not using AI is uneconomical. The job is more focused on security, architecture, design, interacting with clients and a lot of code reviewing.

    The value you provide is being a gatekeeper, testing, QA, performance, maintainability and avoiding spaghetti. It's a fundamentally different job and I think the learning curve has shifted a lot. Now the initial learning curve is very gentle but getting to the next level after vibe coding is a very steep curve because knowing what's good code is hard and before came with tons of exposure to writing it.

    LLMs behave much better in clear simple easy to reason about codebases but spaghetti side effect codebases cause a lot of trouble. You can still absolutely write yourself into a corner with an LLM.
