And then there's the small % doing music firmware :)

(and no, I don't find LLMs much use on this)

I miss the old phonecall background hiss, now it's impossible to tell the difference between someone being silent in a call and a disconnected 'line'.

In 40 years of programming I never used Twitter to keep up to date.

Reddit, Hacker News, online manuals, blogs , online magazines , offline manuals (back in the day), SDK documentation, Devdocs, Colleagues and friends, and Wikipedia.

I expect it makes a big difference what kind of work one does. For me, working with a legacy codebase for firmware, with 1000s of lines of C in each module, AI is very slow (~5-10s response time) and almost none of the code is acceptable.

I do however find it useful for getting an overview of dense chunks of confusing code.

I totally agree, but with the caveat of: don't use TLAs without at least a single use of the term in full or a wiki link!

A HTML page, web components and no build process solves this.

Pinned package versions in npm solves this.

If you want to use the latest dependencies then yes there is ongoing management required. There are tools to help with this.

This is how I feel about most of YouTube :)

“Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.”

But seriously. Yes, you should be aware of these things.

I don't have your use-case, but I use the `.ssh/config` to give aliases (Host/Hostname) to my remote machines and can set the identity to use there (IdentityFile).
