> In my case this clearly doesn’t translate to as much value for the organization, or rather, it’s hard to say, as many of those PRs were things I wouldn’t even have done without AI support.

That's not necessarily bad. It could be a sign of effective prioritization. If you're good at working on the most important thing, and suddenly find yourself 24% more productive, what extra are you working on? The things that wouldn't have quite made the cut before.

I have a Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate and I can vouch for the excellent build quality. Cherry MX Blue switches are loud (and I wouldn't use them in an office), but the tactile experience is immensely satisfying.

At work I have a Leopold Tactile Touch "Otaku" Keyboard (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,fullsize&...). The switches are Cherry MX Brown, which are quieter but not as satisfying. The build quality on this keyboard isn't quite as solid either.

I don't think Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate had a Brown MX ultimate at the time I bought the Leopold or I probably would have bought that. If noise is an issue I also recommend keyboard landing pads (https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,slpads&pi...).

Both keyboards are blank which has made me a better typist. I also enjoy the reaction it gets when people come to my desk.

If you're managing your project in a tool like JIRA you could provide your client with a burn down chart. It's the easiest way to tell at a glance how a project is going, and takes next to no effort to produce.

If you're not managing your project in such a tool then you should be. If you're not breaking your job into small enough tasks that the chart looks reasonable then you should be doing that too. Both these things will force you to come up with better estimates and give you a record to learn from to provide better records in the future.

In Canada "Eskimo" is often considered an offensive term. The term is widely taken to mean "raw meat eaters" which is understandably offensive, though it may actually have come from "snowshoe-netter" which doesn't seem so bad.

I'm sure the project maintainer isn't aware of the controversy, but he or she should consider changing the name. A fledgling library needs all the help it can get with getting hung up on something so unconnected.

Knave doesn't mean combative, it means deceitful (or servant/worker which I doubt he means here). The most important phrase in my reading is "critical of mouth."

Also, reading a paragraph wrong doesn't make a person a combative jerk. Nor does being critical.

I'm honestly not sure which word you're referring to.

> This story... is neither a story for the faint of heart nor for the critical of mouth. If you're easily offended, or prone to being a disagreeable knave in blog comments, please stop reading now.

That's a neat trick, limiting your blog post to people who won't be critical of it.

The pricing link isn't at the top of the home page, but it is at the top of 'Features' and 'Get Started.' More over, the list of clients at the bottom includes some large companies. Surely you must realize that someone is paying for something here.

I think Facebook and Google have lulled us into a false, unquestioning expectation that online services are free; when really we should be suspicious of any company claiming to offer a free service.

Now all I have to do is write a blog post with 9.96 links and 5% of a video and wait for the ad money to start rolling in.

I've always liked the quote "Nobody has the right to not be offended." Certainly as members of a very privileged group few people have that right less than us.

In my experience being taken seriously is as much about confidence and attitude as it is about ability. For some people even more so.

One of the footnotes at the bottom is a big giveaway. "Yes, I did start my footnotes from a zero-index. I like zero-based arrays over one-based arrays." Drawing attention to how programmer-like you are doesn't convey that confidence.

Fortunately for this kid confidence is something that usually comes with age. I know it did for me.
