Or you could, you know, use any decent IDE, or a deterministic refactoring utility, or even a quick Perl script.
Nothing is stopping YOU from doing that. If you enjoy working that way, have at it.

This is one of the strangest opinions I've seen in awhile. Your complaint seems like it should be pointed at projects not having a working "clean" make target.
Also:
git status --ignored
git clean -ndX # preview what would be removed
git clean -fdX # actually delete the files (warning: destructive)

Not sure what is "bold" about that claim, soffice is used in a ton of "document generation skills" and as soon as those tools start making into people's CI pipelines there will inevitably be spikes in download activity.

This is close to my experience as well, but it certainly doesn't seem to be the case for everyone. My wife can picture things in her head and describe them in vivid detail and talks about how she can move and manipulate the objects and change the colors and shapes in more or less infinite detail

I see actual images, but at least for me its not anywhere near the same as actually looking at something. Its sort of like watching a low fidelity movie for me and I can't really "focus" in on specific details of what I'm visualizing. I think there is definitely a spectrum.

On one hand I'm glad to see this being added, but its becoming obvious building generics into the language as-is just isn't a good fit. Hopefully Go v2 can solve this at a more foundational level while still allowing interop or easy porting form current go code.
Re:It's getting harder to focus every day

I understand your pain. One of the cruel realities of ADHD is how difficult it makes doing the things needed to help you treat it. I honestly just went with whatever my doctor/insurance gave me. Its a Luna G3X and my insurance uses a company called BetterNight. They have been fine so far, but I know there are also companies you can use that don't take insurance that I have generally heard are better to work with if you are okay with not using insurance. Lofta was what was recommended to me by a coworker.
Re:It's getting harder to focus every day

I recently went through this. I was diagnosed with ADHD 15 years ago and have been managing it, but over the last 2-3 years I had been experiencing increased levels of brain fog, fatigue, and by ability to focus had deteriorated to the point I wasn't sure if I would be able to continue working. I had a sleep study done 10 years ago that only found Night Terror Disorder, but no signs of sleep apnea. I did another sleep study about 6 months ago and it turns out while I wasn't having apnea events I had constant and persistent hypopnea. Started using a CPAP and it feels like I've been given a second lease on life. FWIW, I am a very active and in shape individual within a healthy weight range. Don't wait to get tested if you have even the slightest worry you may have it.

Zensical has been a solid replacement for us so far. In general everything "just works" out of the box and is way quicker to build/reload. It is still in fairly early stages, but is actively being worked on https://zensical.org/spark/proposals/zap-005-navigation-auth...
I hope they are able to monetize in a way the keeps the core project open while making it a sustainable venture going forward.

1. I'm pretty sure setting "Maximum Tabs" does what you want, but not positive.
2. Uncheck "Hide .gitignore" setting and it won't do this.
3. Agreed
4. This is configured in the "Restore on Startup" setting (I think you want "Last Session")

This might have been bad timing. Copilot API broke things last weekend with caused a lot of tool calls in various agent harnesses to start failing like the edit tool.
