Unreal Engine is source available. It is definitely not open source as you can't use it without a commercial license from Epic.

> But in the long run open source wins because once an open source alternative exists it is just the better option.

This is just wishful thinking. Anything close to real professional use, not related to IT, and closed source is king: office work, CAD, video editing, music production, and those domains immediately came to mind. Nowhere there open source can seriously challenge commercial, closed sourced competitors.

Yes, in any of those domains one can name open source products, but they are far from "winning" or "the better option".

I'd love to work on a codebase like that. I think codebases need more swearing to fully capture context and intent of the developer.

What kind of tools / treatments have you used / learned afterwards to deal with your ADHD like symtoms?

I can't engage with this now. I'm a big GTD user because of my ADHD, I don't trust myself so I use the GTD system as a big crutch.

I pattern match "Quests" in TFA to "projects" in GTD, and "goals" in TFA to "3-5 horizon + someday/maybe list", I don't have time to give nuanced thought to this, but I'm posting my hot take that this looks like a useful tactical method to help oneself take projects off of your someday/maybe lists and work on them, but does not fully address how to make the time.

Wait, no, it probably does, but I'm already running over my break time so I'm leaving this comment here as an anchor to come back and review after work.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

We also get pretty reliable JSON output (on a smaller scale though) even without JSON mode. We usually don't use JSON mode because we often include a chain of thought part in <brainstorming> and then ask for JSON in <json> tags. With some prompt engineering, we get over 98% valid JSON in complex prompts (with long context and modestly complex JSON format). We catch the rest with json5.loads, which is only used as a fallback if json.loads fails.

4o-mini has been less reliable for us particularly with large context. The new structured output might make it possible to use mini in more situations.
