That would be a disaster for hiring and productivity I don't any upside to creating AI generated siloes from a business or developer perspective.

I have been using LLMs (chapt-gpt, perplexity, claude) for development for over a year. It is helpful for summary explanations of concepts and boilerplate for frameworks and library APIs. But it makes errors within those consistently.
Its a great tool and saves a great deal of time, but I have yet to go beyond generating snippets I have to vet, typically finding a made up library API call or misunderstanding of my natural language prompt.
I find it hard to pare down these LLM evangelizing articles into take aways that improve my day to day.

I think it was their exceptional design in the 2000s. They were never the first, but they were exceptional at appearing to be an innovator on the originality of their product design. I have not been impressed with apple design innovation for some time though, they've gotten stale.

The walled garden certainly keeps me out of the apple ecosystem. I love MacOS but I don't want to pay a premium for vendor lock-in and I infer that most (if not all) apple products are double-edged in that manner.

If they tripled teaching salaries I would 100% become a teacher because its fulfilling. But the pay is rather shit for the role and responsibilities

Some of them are great but then I remember when I was floating around research labs some grad students would cry and tell you not to do what they were doing because its miserable. But then life has many fun horrors does it not?

I like Anki but I feel like Duolingo has far too slow pacing to be practical
