Readit NewsSo after 4 weeks I went to this last guy in a public hospital, told me I'm fine and can take off my brace, wait a week or two and go into physical therapy. Also told me in 20 years he only had to once or twice do a collar bone surgery so it's almost never the answer.
It's amazing that just being told I'm fine I could relax and all my muscle aches literally were gone 1 hour after that meeting so my advice in general is, be very careful what doctor you choose because medical hexing really is a thing. We put doctors on this pedestal and if God forbid you catch them in a bad mood they can fuck you up worse than before you saw them.
My biggest complaint with Xcode is speed. It’s feels incredibly laggy to me. Auto-complete is slow and error reporting is insanely slow. I hope you like typing code and then 5-30 seconds later the IDE shows an error (normally a bad one).
I’ve never had a good experience writing code in Xcode. Often I’ll just open the files in IDEA to have sane hotkeys, my plugins, multiple cursors, and the list goes on and on and on.

To anyone searching for something like this, I'd recommend thinking of a peak moment in your life - it could be something totally unexpected, like bowling (and listen: I'm not much of a bowler!) Just a moment when everything worked perfectly and you couldn't make a mistake. And try to re-live that moment behind your eyes.
Sounds totally cheesy and ridiculous, I know.
No. But after refusing it, I sure as hell wouldn't go there.
Don't even go close:

Facebook's reputation was at the bottom, but now it seems like they made up for it.
"It's a shame, but what can we do? There really isn't anything we can do to prevent memory safety vulnerabilities from happening if the programmer doesn't want to write their code in a robust manner." -- Some (uncredited?) C programmer.
Does C have more footguns as a low level language? Of course. That's part of the freedom of bringing only the baggage a project needs. Sadly, like many dangerous or sharp tools, incorrect use will lead to harms.
If someone has a choice, a safer more modern language can accommodate less skilled practitioners.
What projects need manual memory management? Those where the hardware costs are comparable to development/maintenance costs. That is much rarer than people think.
RAM is cheap, and few applications really need bespoke allocation. And it's not just a question of skill; even the most disciplined make mistakes. It's one of how much brainpower you want to allocate to... memory allocation.
And less than two weeks in they removed it and replaced it with some sort of "plain and clear" personality which is human-like. And my frustrations ramped up again.
That brief experiment taught me two things: 1. I need to ensure that any robots/LLMs/mech-turks in my life act at least as cold and rational as Data from Star Trek. 2. I should be running my own LLM locally to not be at the whims of $MEGACORP.
I approve of this, but in your place I'd wait for hardware to become cheaper when the bubble blows over. I have a i9-10900, and bought an M.2 SSD and 64GB of RAM in july for it, and get useful results with Qwen3-30B-A3B (some 4-bit quant from unsloth running on llama.cpp).
It's much slower than an online service (~5-10 t/s), and lower quality, but it still offers me value for my use cases (many small prototypes and tests).
In the mean time, check out LLM service prices on https://artificialanalysis.ai/ Open source ones are cheap! Lower on the homepage there's a Cost Efficiency section with a Cost vs Intelligence chart.
