A lot of the replies to this thread are effectively "Dude, you're wrong. I've worked alone forever." Well, I've been programming for an awfully long time. During that time, I've done a lot of solo work and a lot of collaborative work as part of a team. The work I did in a team was much better. Most of the mistakes I made working solo simply wouldn't have happened in a team environment. So, I stand by my original post . You can hunt mastodons by yourself. Good luck getting it back to your cave to eat!

(Sorry I botched the name a bit)
Cursor editor: https://cursor.com
Get pro for $20, then in Cursor settings select Sonnet 3.5. Then watch all the videos on how to use and practice.
(I think both the setup above and the usage is somewhat beginner unfriendly, maybe someone can link to good videos / guides)

The crux of RFK's speech was the following line:
"In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it."
How? As he explained at length, through censorship and lawfare.
Fact check: TRUE.
That first 20 minutes was a barn-burner of a speech.

In a mountain of tech debt, the main anti-pattern is stopping all value-add work while you deal with the debt, at least if you want to gain/retain customers. When I was in that situation, I set up a "debt" Kanban board and allocated a fixed amount of time (20%—one day a week?) to that board, spending the rest of the time adding value. Of course, continuous refactoring is also part of the add-value process, so it's not purely binary.

I strongly believe that programming is a social activity that cannot be effectively done by a single person isolated from the rest of the world. Nobody went off to hunt mastodons on their own.

I've worked in systems where the database was so awful that even minor changes to the code took weeks. Best to fix that.

I spent my week learning how thermal receipt printers work, and controlling one with JavaScript.
Hooked it up to the @getsentry webhook API and now I get print outs of my issues as they happen

tbh If you haven’t coded a receipt printer by EOY you are falling behind

Programming is changing so fast... I'm trying VS Code Cursor + Sonnet 3.5 instead of GitHub Copilot again and I think it's now a net win. Just empirically, over the last few days most of my "programming" is now writing English (prompting and then reviewing and editing the generated diffs), and doing a bit of "half-coding" where you write the first chunk of the code you'd like, maybe comment it a bit so the LLM knows what the plan is, and then tab tab tab through completions. Sometimes you get a 100-line diff to your code that nails it, which could have taken 10+ minutes before.
I still don't think I got sufficiently used to all the features. It's a bit like learning to code all over again but I basically can't imagine going back to "unassisted" coding at this point, which was the only possibility just ~3 years ago.

Damning for Boeing:
Received $4.2B (!!) of federal funding under the NASA Commercial Crew Program, to build a vehicle to bring astronauts to and from space
Fails to deliver
SpaceX will now do it, having received a lot less ($2.6B).
