Maybe a cross setup would work for you if you ever need a 5th VD :)

Haha that's fair

Although it's a habit thing. Most of these are fixed, I never switch them to a different position. So the only ones I have to remember is A1-2 if I am using them, the rest is as easy as knowing where your glasses are stored in your cupboards.

Faster switch. Think each column being 1-3 and each row as A-C

B2 is my terminals, B3 is my IDE, B1 is a secondary IDE (for instance, DataGrip), C row is browser windows, A1-2 is temporary, not often used windows, A3 is communication apps. I mostly use A3, B2-3 and C2-3. It's all mapped in my head so I can instantly switch to whichever VD I need.

Same. So now I am renting a place to work and it's much better :)

People can joke about little problems of their life while knowing that there are much bigger problems in the world.

True for the phone and tablet, but for any sort of computer that is not true

I work on a laptop with virtual desktops and I am much more productive that way than with a big screen... Or two big screens.

Everything is in the center of my field of view, I know which VD of my 3x3 grid holds what. It's much more efficient for me than bigger screens could ever be. And that is not for lack of trying!

It just depends on the person.

You are putting a lot of faith in two megalomaniac narcissistic assholes with an ego bigger than their country not using their big nukey toys if they ever entered a direct conflict.

Nuclear powers don't do direct conflict for a good reason.

Calm down.

It can definitely break when mishandled. With kids you probably don't want glass furniture.

Let's also not forget that the only reason he is even trying to negotiate and put an end to the war is trying to get the nobel peace prize.

Piece of shit. The US really outdid themselves reelecting that asshole.

Absolutely not. This comment shows you have absolutely zero idea how an LLM works.

I'm not against AI use in software development... But you need to understand what the tools you use actually do.

An LLM is not a dev. It doesn't have the capability to think on a problem and come up with a solution. If you use an LLM as a dev, you are an idiot pressing buttons on a black box you understand nothing about.

An LLM is a predictive tool. So use it as a predictive tool.

• Boilerplate code? It can do that, yeah. I don't like to use it that way, but it can do that.
• Implementing a new feature? Maybe, if you're lucky, it has been trained on enough data that it can put something together. But you need to consider its output completely untrustworthy, and therefore it will require so much reviewing that it's just better to write it yourself in the first place.
• Implementing something that solves a problem not solved before? Just don't. Use your own brain, for fuck's sake. That's what you have been trained on.

The one use of AI, at the moment, that I actually like and actually improves my workflow is JetBrains' full line completion AI. It very often accurately predicts what I want to write when it's boilerplate-ish, and shuts up when I write something original.

Good luck having that shitty tech win over Europe, where fiber is proliferating particularly quickly. We all know satellite internet cannot come close to the speed and reliability of fiber.

Plus we hate Musk.

It's good for remote areas and at sea, it's shit everywhere else
