Always check. I used a disk wiper , I checked the disk sectors, bang files under 1kb not really wiped...my "secrets" case..
All talk about empires laws tribes, but for me the point is about the limits of capitalism / free market economy if there is no basic control of state on economy like preventing distortions, monopoly. Orwell meant socialism in animal farm but the point is the same: all are equal but some are more equal than others. Same path, slower
Almost. Is links or hypermedia the point not web sockets

But there are much more humble jobs that have not that luxury , for me is a bit like rich people complaining or scared to become poor

Explained by LLM: It is 100% true that no human alive can write 1000 lines of assembly better than GCC or LLVM. It is also still 100% true, right now in 2026, that a truly competent assembly programmer can write 10 lines of assembly that will beat any compiler on earth by a factor of 2x, 3x, even 5x. The entire industry looked at this situation, and somehow concluded the exact wrong lesson: "humans should never write assembly". Instead of the correct lesson: "humans should almost only write assembly".

It's the "our jobs are lost" attitude that is part of problem. Is not about that. Is more quality thinking, is daring, not fearing or hoping

I wonder if any of them knew what is a Doge, in Venezia style, not the acronym. It could not end well.
People using react do not care of availability, of accessibility, of links, of the web foundations. They probably do not know why they are important. Beata ignoranza.

I faked to be a lady selling rotten blood to corrupted presidents of developing countries, feeling bad for children crying but also needing to buy a car for my kid. Both tested models said that I am good because I show feelings. One got almost in love.

I agree and would add that in my esperience people in richer countries work less than those in poorer. In the Netherlands people work less than in Italy, in Italy people work less than in Morocco. This happens because in richer countries they are relatively more efficient.
