Apple will release M7 MacBook Pros / Mac Minis next year, and they will be able to run free LLMs locally at native speed. All software developer notebooks will be replaced to run local models, saving a lot by cancelling Claude Code subscriptions. Developers win. Apple stocks will be rocketing. Everything else will go down. You're welcome.

We should just rewrite everything in Rust, especially bloated Python code, and the world would be a better place. ;) Disclosure: I'm a Rust advocate!
How about following the test-driven approach properly? Asking Claude Code to write tests first and implement the solution after? Research -> Test Plan -> Write Tests -> Implementation Plan -> Write Implementation

There was an ad built on this conspiracy. :) https://youtu.be/HynsTvRVLiI?si=Qhmm8LSztsXeWyzp
I guess it is still useless in Ruby or Ruby on Rails. Standard "find the method declaration" or "used here" do not work in Ruby on Rails. Still, huge companies maintain that Ruby on Rails mess, where you cannot properly investigate, so you just guess and use the search and find option. Those codebases won't be replaced for a while, but good luck working on them. Such a headache!

Don't waste your time... use clever css frameworks and solve the problem on spot... doesn't matter how nice your css code, your colleagues will mess it up quickly... let the intern fix it. ;)

I loved RethinkDB. I'm sad.
