Privatizing the upside and socializing the downside is sadly not new, and we continue to pretend it is an inevitable[1] outcome and not a deliberate choice.
IIRC, the pitch was AGI would allow OpenAI to print money by replacing humans in any industry and siphoning whatever was being spent on payroll for pennies on the dollar.
I wouldn't want to fiddle with WoL just to get my self-hosted LLM-assisted code-completion working when I pickup my old and underpowered laptop on the couch for some quick hacking. Wake-on-any-network-activity would be perfect, and has superior UX.
Whenever I use chrome, I'm missing the style editor and multi-line repl mode from firefox. When I switched to firefox from chrome, I didn't miss anything. There might be new features chrome has added since that I would want if I knew about them
While I agree on those counts, the debugger in Chrome handles large files of minified code, deep framework stack traces, and stopping in dysfunctional code better.
You should try out Firefox’s if you haven’t. It’s pretty good now and I haven’t found something that I’ve been like damn wish it was there. Lighthouse testing I guess?
Firefox dev tools tell me why my requests and scripts fail because of CORS or blocked by a plugin or what have you. Chrome doesn’t remotely even provide that info.
I honestly have never seen a Chrome dev tools feature that was better or necessary for good web development that Firefox didn’t already have in the last 15 years. Yet I always see this bizarre sentiment of how the dev tools were better “just because”.

Which is fine by management, because the intent is to fire her and have AI generate the reports. The top-down diktats for AI maximization is to quickly figure out how much can be automated so companies can massively scale back on payroll before their competition does.
From the HR training i got from many places, harassment is what gets you in trouble with HR i.e. persisting after your advances have been rejected. Politely shooting your shot is fine, unless the target reports to you.
That's a complimentary point, not a counterpoint. I'm talking about Go's type system being restrictive. PHP and many other languages avoided that particular trap by allowing variables to be reassigned to any type. Java and many other languages went in a different direction and instead chose to build more complete type systems.
This sort of flexibility has its own problems and it is only possible because of the very lax type system of PHP but it is also extremely powerful when it comes to developing reusable frameworks.
PHP has fully looped back around and have a more capable type system than Go or even JS or Python. It took a long time, but it got there and it did it pretty competently.
In the past it got away with it because of PHP magic. PHP let's you do pretty much whatever, at least in the past.
