- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 hours ago:
I regularly filter out tabs on laptop, bookmarking things and closing stuff that isn’t on todo list for the next 24h.
Mobile though, clicling that through UI takes so much time I can’t be bothered. I just open new stuff on top, and maybe sometimes go through tabs like as if that’s browser history.

This is literally in this thread.
Again, your solution should be already thought out and described in tickets and approved tech plan. If it’s not, SDLC problem.
And it’s not true that agents can’t help with edge cases, they can. If you know which points to look at, you task to analyze the specific interaction and watch which parts of the code would be mentioned.
I do write way less amount of symbols to LLM than I would when I write code. Those symbols don’t have to be structured and they can even have typos, so I can focus my brain activity on things that actually matter.
Plus, copilot is shit.
I rate your post as a skill issue.

This is necessary when working with 100% human code too.

Dude are you a software dev? Did you hear about, like, tickets? You are supposed to split bigger task into smaller tickets at a project approval phase.
LLM agents are completely capable of taking well-documented tickets and generating some semblance of code that you shape with a few upcoming prompts, criticising code style & issues until they are all fixed.
I’m not theoretical, this is how it’s done today. MCPs into JIRA and Figma and UI tickets just get about 90% done in a single prompt. Harder stuff is done in “invesrigate and write .md how to solve” & “this is why that won’t work, do this instead” to like 70% ready.

Are you even reading what I say? You are supposed to have a professional approving generated stuff.
But it’s still AI-generated, it doesn’t become less AI-generated because a human that knows shit abot the subject approved it.

So don’t accept code that is shit. Have decent PR process. Accountability is still on human.

Tbf AI tag should be about AI-generated assets. Cause there is no problem in keeping code quality while using AI, and that’s what the whole dev industry do now.

Protest in a country with the rule of law and democracy is about sending a message. Those tools don’t work in authoritarian countries like Russia (or Ukraine in 2013, for that matter). I’m fairly convinced that russian opposition politicians don’t want to allow the real protest to happen, directing the protest energy into waste.
Otherwise, I can’t explain why the protest never evolves into action. As if the protest wasn’t about the goal (to change things), but about fixing self-consciousness (to say that you don’t agree & getting jailed & say you did all you could).
And I need to vocalize the unfortunate truth about the protests that resolve around the goal - you need to be able to answer the question “and what if they won’t?” at every step, and be able to escalate.
“We are on the streets for a month, what if they won’t go?” - take the gov buildings / their villas and make them go. “What if they beat those people?”. Organize the people so they are coordinated and can fight back. “What if they shoot?” Raid the military bases and shoot back. Etc.
Every next step is escalation into more violence. Every next step don’t add you new followers, but filters out the existing ones that can’t follow further. All the peaceful protest part is about getting the biggest amount of people on the streets. But if you can’t answer a single “and what if they won’t?” - you lose.
The Ukrainian revolution worked because it had no leaders. There were politicians who wanted PR and were telling speeches, but lots of people despised them. There was no single entity you could eliminate to make it fall. Sure, different groups had their authority figures, but there were dozens of those groups. And people used their time to self-organize into militia groups, new leaders emerged naturally from those who took action and responsibility.
- Comment on I work long hour and make little money 4 days ago:
I know what you mean. My parents (both Ukrainian) were telling me to lower my profile and don’t post anything political cause we don’t know where are we heading. They did enjoy their freedom to criticize gov at home & with the family members though, but in a very characteristic Ukrainian trait - all the government bad, they all steal etc.
My wife’s granny from Belarus, she switched to very quiet whisper every time she was talking about politics. Even in Ukraine, where people faced no consequences. Because walls have ears.
And re genetic memory, I know what you mean cause even people that didn’t experience Holodomor had very different attitude towards food, having stashes & wasting food was basically unthinkable.
- Comment on I work long hour and make little money 4 days ago:
This isn’t the key factor. Every protest that has big political change goal is potentially dangerous for those who participate, in every country. That didn’t stop Ukrainians, for example.
But the thing that russian gov wouldn’t just go away. Even if 10 millions would be on the streets for like a month. Even if they defend against riot police instead of running away. The key figures would just stay till the bitter end. They would use army. And then what, an average russian doesn’t have a rifle at home. And who would you fight, an army?
At this point it’s easier to just join russian corps in Ukrainian army. At least it is organized.
But then again, they won’t get 10 mil on the streets. And they won’t resist the riot police. Russian protest is a sad view.
- Comment on I work long hour and make little money 4 days ago:
Because russia is not a democracy and an average russian is staying away from politics due to learned helplessness. Because of multiple factors, even protests won’t change anything. You can call for sabotage, but that isn’t what an average person would do.
Besides, their internet is far more restricted. They don’t have access to twitter. They use vk and registration there essentially requires a gov id, 1 per citizen.

Did you really need to compare it to animes with the slowest pace possible?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Eh, not really. I mean unless episode sucks. But I'm mostly having issue with unfinished stories rather than episodes being bad.
Like I've watched multiple 20-40+ episode titles that about ran to sorta culmination point... so I'll have to wait like 3-5 more years to see how they end.
I like when a season actually has a finished story. Even if the next season would use the same characters.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I've had long break (I mean like 7+ yrs) from watching animes and recently started watching new stuff in my free time.
Honestly it's not bad, but the hell with all of them having such a slow pace. Literally none of them have a finishes story, all in long ongoing phase with plans to run for ages.

Yeah, and I think it's not about history, it's about mortgage initial payment, which is some% of target property cost.
And the idea that it's bad thing is just stupid. Anyone read about previous housing bubble remembers how people took multiple mortgages because you could let your house for more than you pay for mortgage per month, and as crisis hit, they couldn't repay. It was very much enabled by zero mortgage initial payments.
