Basically the idea is that your brain has a hard time telling the difference between the fantasy and reality and so you experience the reward which then sucks out the energy and drive needed to actually do the hard work.

I am not following the authors argument. This logic accidentally gate-keeps opinions of people with ethical objections, people who can't afford the time and money to use it and even people for whom the tool is inaccessible.

Any objection "This tool is built on stolen data" doesn't change based on whether I have used the tool for 50 hours or not.

By defining a "center" only through the lens of usage we don't find objectivity. This sounds like rationalising survivorship bias for those who are able to pay and participate.

You should check out vim's remote functionality to open files in an already running instance https://vim-jp.org/vimdoc-en/remote.html

  Edit "file.txt" in server "FILES" if it exists, become server "FILES" otherwise:
    gvim --servername FILES --remote-silent file.txt
