I’m still waiting for the future where planner is a plugin for db.
Seems this is a (small) step in that direction

Easy to cherry pick examples and counter-examples. See the luddites for counter-example. Artisans making high-quality textiles are no longer broadly in demand. Lots of pro examples too, I just don't find analogies helpful. It may be that like clothes, there's only so much need for software. We don't really need 1000 browsers or operating systems after all, 3 or 4 good ones is enough (and 90% of people use 1 or 2), despite there being free very good alternatives (unit costs 0, demand still low).

Clothing demand has increased greatly in the past decade due to fast fashion. Much of this clothing is designed to cost a few bucks, last a few wears, then get thrown out. It's an ecological disaster.
Maybe we'll see something similar happen with software — as production costs fall, trends will shift toward few-use throwaway software. I highly suspect this is already happening.

I'm excited for this, but I'm not looking forward to yet another round of refactoring for all of the linters, formatters, bundlers, etc. I still haven't fully migrated every project I maintain to eslint 9.
I'm unfamiliar with all the changes coming soon. What would you need to refactor?

Might be misunderstanding the workflow here, but I think if a change request comes and I alter the spec, I'd need to re run the llm bit that generates the code?
You would need to rerun the LLM, but you wouldn't necessarily need to rebuild the codebase from scratch.
You can provide the existing spec, the new spec, and the existing codebase all as context, then have the LLM modify the codebase according to the updates to the spec.
In the US, it's open for unlicensed use for very low power devices. That is, it's open for WiFi. It's used by WiFi 6E, 7, and 8.

Yes, it's a sad situation we're in. We need am indirection step in addresses. So companies don't have our actual address but instead have a handle they can use to interact with that address. And then the actual addresses should be guarded with more responsibility.

Walmart should invest in eink pricetags, more and more shops have them here in France. Eventually allows them to increase the price of items throughout the day without having to manually re-tag
The Wal-Mart near me uses e-ink price tags for many (but not all) of their items.

Agreed. It would be nice if SQL databases supported something similar.
PRQL [1] is a pipeline-based query language that compiles to SQL.
