Same here, but had to switch to VS Code very quickly. Thonny is very nice, and nothing does the Py Pico integration better, but too basic I'm afraid.

However it does look very limited at the moment - we'll need more than just buckets and queues. And the more you add the more complicated things get. Look at Pulumi and what a mess it is to define an env (depends on, apply(), wait for resource etc etc).
Perhaps it should be a module/lib rather than a lang on its own. How will I write complex functions? will I need to import py scripts from other files? odd.
Only thing remotely like the syntax is the cheat sheet.
Devs: Oh god... they are workshopping again.. what overpaid consultant they brought this time? SaFE? Sigma Six? ... Boris? wtf is that? nvm, we'll need to build it just the same.
Didn't old hard-drives use to make sounds as well?
Maybe I'm just used to faster modems (56K V.90)?
Founders need to show a lot of work done / churn to get VC backed.
Even plain old Jedi was a decent competitor to Kite.
So you we're no beat by billion-dollar CoPilot I'm afraid...
Have at you!
Expecting someone to contribute day1 is bad mentality, proof of bad management.
Bad CTOs and Tech Leads can't understand that they hold knowledge of years building the code estate (while often skipping documenting it), which is difficult for newcomers to accuire.
Just setting up the machine can take 2 weeks.
And they are in their own echo-chamber, thinking every choice they made is the right one and must be used everywhere.
"What? you never used tool A? It's what we use everywhere". Well good for you! I used tool B, C, Z, X, A7, and forgot most of them. Don't give me these looks!
And of course, working in such conditions you can't improve. They exclude you from discussions, give bad looks and comments, and completely erode your confidence.
You might not be the best, but they are definitely worse.
But for me it feels like you work for youtube. You setup your room for them, Record hours of content for them, They even tell you you need to do it on a weekly basis if not daily...
And all for no pay, Or the priviledge of getting small change and forever fearing being "de-monetized"...
No thanks.
Next article is about MotoGP bikes switching from 2-strokes to 4. That was 20 years ago! And a poor translation at that..

A UX person telling us not to do what the previous UX person thought was cute.
Thank you sooo much! Ask PM for a pat on the back.
maybe in scummy agencies, but not in proper companies.
No million tracking/analytics lines.
I respect that.
I love the binary numbers bit. It appears very often in sci-fi when interacting with aliens. very good to have it explained nicely and be a "puzzle" to solve.
But I'll just note that as far as I know - von Neumann probes are not passengers, but rather the ship itself, which replicates and travels to new destinations.
It might be ok in this short story because kids found the ship, so they didn't know better, but it's important to get the science right in sci-fi. Readers are smart :)
Keep at it! I'd love to read more of your stories. (Short stories are great for sci-fi in my opinion!)
P.S
A great book about Von Neuman probes is - We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor
I can tell you conventional wisdom missing in Zoho like version-control and testing is very much needed.
