LLMs have indeed increased developer productivity: now 1 developer with LLM can generate the same amount of technical debt as 100 junior developers.
I have been using AI to remove tech debt faster than ever before.

If somebody asks a question on Stackoverflow, it is unlikely that a human who does not know the answer will take time out of their day to completely fabricate a plausible sounding answer.
People are confidently incorrect all the time. It is very likely that people will make up plausible sounding answers on StackOverflow.
You and I have both taken time out of our days to write plausible sounding answers that are essentially opposing hallucinations.
There are references to using connectors to connect to databases, but I can't find any documentation on how to actually do that.
It really comes down to the teachers skill and personality- and that often comes down to if the school can afford the best teachers. Often in the USA regular public schools in wealthy communities will have better teachers than you will find at most private Montessori schools.
Part of schools "affording" the best teachers is not money, but the amount of discipline problems they need to deal with. Which correlates to the financial status of the families at that school. For tons of reasons.
Which families tend to win the lottery to go to these schools? The parents that can afford to. Even if the school is free, the transportation is often not. Plus the parents have to have enough free time to be aware of the lottery for their 3 year old.

> It turns out that making horizontal cuts almost never helps with consistency.
They made the horizontal cuts evenly spaced between the cutting surface and the top of the onion, which is nonsensical to me. I believe that a single horizontal cut at around 15-20% height would be better for uniformity than a horizontal cut at 50% height.
Which is exactly how I was taught to do it while working in kitchens 25 years ago.
The other thing is that this seems to ignore that the onion is round in the other direction too. As far as I can see, it only covers the first dice cut.

Your credit score can decrease if you pay off your credit card balance or pay it down too quickly. For example, paying off the last $10k on a home loan. The score is also a reflection of your value to them as a paying customer. How much money you can make them, and how reliable you are with regular payments based on past data. These types of businesses may seem off, but if the customer is reliable and makes you money, assigning a low score based simply on the business type is a recipe for litigation.
That is true when you close an account (like paying off the last $10k on a home loan), but I don't think that is correct when paying a credit card down to a $0 balance and leaving it open.
The reason is that your credit score is impacted by both your available credit (higher is better) and credit utilization (lower is better). When you pay of the last of a home loan and close that account, your available credit goes down and your credit utilization goes up (assuming you had any other debt). Both of those hurt you. When you pay the credit card down to $0 and leave it open, your available crediot stays the same and your utilization goes down.
I believe encryption is the most important 2nd Amendment issue of our time, but I never see it framed that way.
