There are Addons for IDEs like "AI-Autocomplete". When you don't want the AI to write whole features at once, you can prompt it to write the functions one by one and work like that. Still a lot faster then writing all functions by yourself and granular enough that it is easy to describe and easy to review.
My most favourite demo is "Freespin" which runs entirely on a floppy drive without a computer. Crazy stuff.

The maintainer of left-justify receives his YubiKey from yubikey-official-store.net. It is a $4 USB drive containing a README that says “lol.”

Got me seriously laughing... Such a troll.

It is not, you did what I usually do, read the title and jump directly into comments. It's a special coating which works differently to standard matte screens wich makes it way superior.
Shouldn't had in the first place.
I do not agree with the "you know within a week"-take. I'm now 14 years working in IT-Security. 9 of those years for the same company.

I got my next job through a headhunter. The first weeks I had a really good feeling of the company I liked it there after a few months it got worse and worse like they couldn't hide all the bad things anymore. I quit, next job was more or less the same. I quit. My current job? The first month I thought to my self "oh my god, where do I got here?", but now a six months in I really like it.

Maybe also other factors have some plays here like my move from consulting into an internal role, colleagues, the overall freedom, but imho it's hard to generalize something like that.
