Finally companies understand that consumers do not want AI products, but just better, stronger, and cheaper products.

Unfortunately investors are not ready to hear that yet...

I agree with you, and I don't want anything related to the current AI craze in my life, at all.

But when I come on HN and see people posting about AI IDEs and vibe coding and everything, I'm led to believe that there are developers that like this sort of thing.

I cannot explain this.

What, specifically do you think they do?

This might be a less popular opinion on a site like HN, but I'm of the opinion that CEO's don't do a whole lot.

Maybe at small startups they are more involved, but the larger the company, the less I think that CEOs or other C-Suite types actually do.

While I also think ChatGPT is over-hyped and largeley incorrect in what it says, I would answer your question with a "yes". ChatGPT is perfectly capable of writing/delivering speeches at MS Build or whatever.

neilsimp1 commented on Ask HN: Python developers at big companies what is your setup?    · Posted by u/ravshan

I can't answer OP as I only write Python for personal use, not for a "big company".

That said, Neovim + basedpyright + pipenv works well for me.

A lot of people here are using uv and pyenv. Can anyone hint at why I might want to switch?

While I somewhat agree, I can't help but read the replies here as accounts created by OP to respond to themselves.

This is better than most phones on the market, but I can't help but be turned off when I scroll down and start seeing the Google Play logo and mentions about AI and Google Gemini.

Kind of defeats the purpose, no?

I've never worked in a place where this sort of thing would have been tolerated. In high school, sure. But not the workplace.

Sorry past me - I'm boring now.

Where is your source for 80-90% using X11?

My assumption would be that by now, it would be 80+% on Wayland.

Still using my Librem 5 (2 years in).

Still works.

Still like it.
