The other day I ran a Windows XP virtual machine I'd created years ago as a blank "dev" box.
Windows of course gave me some awful message about how the hardware had changed so I could only use it for two days; that was expected. But I was really shocked when I opened up Sublime Text 2 and it wouldn't even load because it was out of date.
I've always known Sublime Text is commercial software but the fact by default this old thing I'd paid for wouldn't load made me feel somewhat betrayed.
Here's a very ironic thing about coding agents that explains their rising adoption:
say you hate coding agents but you work on a team that loves using them.
Eventually you'll find that the only collaborator on that team you trust is the coding agent because everyone else is just pushing code they got from the coding agent.
Just a year ago, we heard reducing the deficit was so important Elon Musk had to fire as many scientists, forest rangers and Black women on the government’s payroll that he could find.
Now? 🤷🏾‍♂️
@MLE_online met an old friend for dinner the other night. I haven't been a regular drinker in years, but I thought why not, I'll have a margarita.
It was $13! I didn't get the tiny one in the shot glass, but still: $13 is insane. I know we have inflation but pre-covid the cost was closer to $8. Even with inflation that should be just over $10. The drink cost as much as my actual meal.
Restaurants have no one to blame but themselves for failing to recruit the next generation of alcoholics.
