Do we though? I've had both and I much prefer natural gas.

I would quit my job and start my own freelance consulting business. No doubt my employer would hire me and I could escape the internal bureaucracy I have to deal with. Probably do part time as well.
This is a common refrain I've seen over at r/ClaudeCode. I don't use Claude Code enough to notice it personally, but the anecdotes suggest the experience is amazing right after a new model drops - only for performance to gradually degrade as more users adopt it and saturation hits. Then the cycle restarts with the next model release. Curious to hear other people's experiences.
It looks like you have not reviewed r/ClaudeAI. This is a much larger subreddit and most of the posts are about Claude Code. Many comparisons of CC vs Codex.

I think these videos and the fact that this rockets actually works is one of the inspirational things in my life (and I am almost 40). I grew up loving everything about space (sci fi books and movies, astronomy in school, etc), and it was very bewildering not to see any progress basically for the first half of my life. Now it seems that humanity is back in the game, and it is amazing!
Perhaps kids of my kids would be able to travel to the moon.
I'll never forget watching SpaceX launches during the COVID lockdowns. A beacon of hope in troubled times.
I'm not at all sure what the appeal is to those in power / American politicians to be used by Israel like they are. Just shallowly thinking one might assume it's some sort of anti Islam sentiment / post 9/11 thing. But at the same time the current administration has a lot of Islamic allies... so that seems like a contrast.
Money and power. The sphere of influence is large, especially with the media takeover by David Ellison and Larry Ellison's takeover of TikTok.

And if you're me, SSHing into that machine from the other side of campus to check on the status of the update :)
I blocked that out. Thanks for reminding me.

I spent a lot of my freshman year of college waiting for `emerge update world` to finish.

So they work remote jobs and keep the money while tax payers foot the bill for their housing, food, medical, and utilities? Is that right?
Why aren't we all doing this?
It's hard to live both at the macro level and the micro level at the same time. Seniors are charged with the macro, the big picture design choices. Juniors are charged with the micro, implementing user stories. AI makes seniors stronger because it is very good at giving micro-level awareness with little time investment. It's a powerful bit of leverage to drive execution.
