My cycle goes : think think think, draw, think, draw, think, write code for a day or 3.
I use an ide or a text editor. never use that other stuff.

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.
That tracks. The AI push is extraordinarily premature. It makes sense that capitalist idiots see mass layoffs as improvement, but rational people do not.
I tried reading the gadget bridge instructions for my watch. Could not get a straight answer on getting the authorization key (I'm a noob), wasted 2 hr. o3 gave me perfect instructions that got it done in 20 minutes. Ya win some ya lose some.
Yeah. It is really good at some things and bad at other things. I used to have a good sense for it but the arch install threw me off.
I find it’s good at giving regex commands from natural language and vise versa. It’s really helped me get a grip on that aspect of learning (neo)vim.
imagine programming on an electric computer. i exclusively generate punch cards for crank operated adding machines
Raw dogging development
I still use emacs
It's a fine operating system, what editor do you use?
Oh, many many of them.
Sometimes text-mode, sometimes fundamental-mode, sometimes picture-mode, tex-mode, ess-mode...

That's impossible. He would be too busy telling everyone that he uses Arch to get any work done.
