I use CachyOS as my daily driver and I gave up on i3 after few tries. It just doesn’t work.
I’m happy with XFCE now and it is very performant.
No issues with sway here.

Now if I can just use SIMD directly from Python without calling out to another language.
Try Nim. It's pretty easy to get the hang of it for simple things, and you can make a python module too.

Do you think they can overnight me an antikindle?

I like Nim- compiles to C so you get similarly close to the instructions and you can use a lot of high level features if you want to, but you can also stay close to the metal.

Effortless superfast caching with Nim! Network calls like you need for redis really add up.
Instead of using something like redis with its network round trips, you can write to a memory mapped file. You can do that safely and easily with LimDB in Nim.
LimDB is a hashtable-like interface to LMDB, a mature fast thread-safe ACID3 memory-mapped-file database for the Nim programming language.
It's just like using a hash table (the Nim equivalent to Python's dictionary or PHP's associative array) but the data stays put between restarts.

My bank doesn't seem to do root detection. I haven't tried it on a phone without at least microgapps but I'm pretty sure that it just works. Even on LineageOS with root I never really had any problems.
I do recall seeing a popup at one point ("hey we see you've done some weird shit to your phone, call us if you don't knowewhat rooting means" or something like that) but that's really just about it.
I should try running it in Anbox, come to think of it. Would be a fun experience.
If you're a developer in the EU and you think you can do better, the PSD2 system is set up to allow for fintech solutions like these. You'll need to get the necessary documentation in order, or even a license, to get access to actual banking APIs (thank goodness) but from that point on you should be able to write your own app. You'll have to be very careful, though, you don't want to anger the financial regulators.
Which bank is that? My bank sees weird shit on my phone, it shuts down with no error message. I want in.
Right now I see the former as being hugely risky. Hallucinated bugs, coaxed into dead-end architectures, security concerns, not being familiar with the code when a bug shows up in production, less sense of ownership, less hands-on learning, etc. This is true both at the personal level and at the business level. (And astounding that CEOs haven't made that connection yet).
The latter, you may be less productive than optimal, but might the hands-on training and fundamental understanding of the codebase make up for it in the long run?
Additionally, I personally find my best ideas often happen when knee deep in some codebase, hitting some weird edge case that doesn't fit, that would probably never come up if I was just reviewing an already-completed PR.
I notice that I get into this automatically during AI-assisted coding sessions if I don't lower my standards for the code. Eventually, I need to interact very closely with both the AI and the code, which feels similar to what you describe when coding manually.
I also notice I'm fresher because I'm not using many brainscycles to do legwork- so maybe I'm actually getting into more situations where I'm getting good ideas because I'm tackling hard problems.
So maybe the key to using AI and staying sharp is to refuse to sacrifice your good taste.
