Interesting but in the EU spam calls/sms seem to have gone down over 99.99% after GDPR. Some huge fines at the beginning helped

Remix with react (just for the Jsx) seems like the sweet spot for me. 90% html and Js apis, with minimal magic to keep things component based and dynamic. Feels like the good ol days of PHP and ajax forms

How long till we see a programming language made for AI?
seems like the programming languages we have now are not ideal for the human - ai interactivity. probably the next step would be a new language that skips the human coder and is optimized for prompts?

yes, but it's awesome, for 5% you never have to worry about invoicing or vat (especially valuable in EU)

I hear you
I was very surprised after I bought a nice big monitor and great mouse that I ignored them most of the time, so now I just work off the laptop, it works best for me, which I never would have guessed in my desktop years
That said, I've been very productive with a creaky noisy cheap lenovo with ubuntu so in my case it's not just about productivity but also comfort

- retina screen
- great touchpad (and gestures)
- all day battery
- no noise at all (optional but for me a big plus)
- hinge that stands the test of time
- aluminum (of very resistant) body
i'll buy a laptop that checks these off under $1600, but so far m1 air is the only one I found, and it's cheaper than that

Been coding on ubuntu for the last 10 years and just moved to m1 air.
I miss gnome but not much else, and definitely not tweaking everything from the console by using obscure commands found on google
I love the macos "just works" mantra and while i'm still getting adjusted to it and there are definitely some quirks I don't like, I think I'm being more productive on mac for just not needing to mess with random things breaking when ubuntu gets updated
