What isn't true is that it completely dissolves. There are parts that don't and are part of the rescaffolding process. One of those bits that does not completely dissolve is a chunk of the brain; it is probably via this that memory persists through the metamorphosis.
Wing stubs are present from the beginning as well as you noted.
The thing is that I LIKE writing code. It's fun.
I don't LIKE coding with an LLM. It isn't fun.
We can't go back to a place where the professional code is all hand written. But at the same time I'm sad and tired. The joy has been utterly sapped and I don't think I'll be able to do this as a career for much longer.
It is all pretty subjective though. Windows is the best option for some.
I do think about this article though: https://www.rubenerd.au/the-myth-of-snow-leopard/
Obviously (to me anyway, maybe folk disagree) comparing a new release to the previous versions last release (with years of bugfixing) wasn't totally fair, but my experience with Snow Leopard wasn't great either and I wonder if it wasn't quite the peak everyone thinks of it as.
I think this is one of those cases where there is no objectively "right" opinion. Tailwind exists for a reason and got a market for a reason. That doesn't mean it is always used in the places it's most helpful or that people don't misuse it (or simply not understand the complexity beast that is CSS). That's just the nature of any popular tool
I have my own opinions about where it's useful and why, but they're just that; opinions.
It's okay for folk to think differently, that is pretty helpful.
Probably a combination of those plus factors we aren't privy to.
I don't really know how to take the measure of a man and probably I'm not qualified to. I don't think he was evil though. People are complicated and not at all black and white.
As for the why, it covers a class of issue that does come up; counting like items. Determining the frequency of things is pretty common. I run into variations on the problem a lot, even if word counting is a contrived example.
It also gives a good look at how someone might solve the "like" items - things like punctuation, casefolding, etc... - messing around with strings is something that happens all the time in the real world.
Also I might be tempted dock your shell solution for using cat unnecessarily
tr ' ' '\n' < textfile | sort | uniq -c | sort -r
Or even:
< textfile tr ' ' '\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r
There are several YouTube channels I love; Folding Ideas, hbomberguy, Kurtis Conner, Contrapoints, etc... but I see those essentially as semi professional / professional variations on television. Once I got into their content via YouTube, YouTube of course drove me away with horrid vile ads, and I moved on to supporting those creators on Patreon.
And that's all good - the digital medium needs places like YouTube. But that doesn't mean there isn't a huge amount of value in the amateur unmonitized video landscape. Pairing those with some niche phpbb style forums was, for me, the last time I truly enjoyed the experience of actually being on the internet.
That isn't to say Claude couldn't do it though.
I don't actually know if the Toyota infotainment setup is to blame though. Since I've never encountered a reasonably stable, glitch free Carplay experience in the last 5 years, I've always just figured "that must be how CarPlay is". I have never owned an iPhone so I only get the cliffnotes version of the experience. But since it's got a 0% track record in that limited viewing, I'm either unlucky, emit magical anti-apple em waves, or am possessed by the soul of Steve Jobs favourite black shirt.
I don't know if the sensitivity to Siri can be turned down, again not an iPhone guy myself, but it bugs me how often we will be talking and suddenly the audio stops and Siri says "I don't know how to help you with that" or something similar. Sometimes we just don't talk so that we don't constantly have Siri interrupting Hardcore History.
It was always stable for me, just sluggish.
If I had to pick I'd take sluggish over constantly buggy of course. So props there.
The infotainment setup on my Tesla though is golden with only the occasional quirk. After using that, Carplay and Android Auto feel very regressive. A guy I work with has an R2 so I got to tinker with it and I figured it would be comparable but it actually kinda sucked.
I've only had Android Auto in my own vehicles, and while it hasn't been as buggy, it feels slow. I never use it anymore.
