  • There is a data point missing here.

    Do the same study and give some an LLM, some no LLM, and some a type A subject matter expert for reference. It may also matter if this person is a friend coworker or random passerby, but I would be willing to bet money that the same effect is present to a lesser (but still statistically significant) degree.

    Maybe a future study can be further refined to build some scaffolding for more effective teaching/learning “on the job” or in general.








  • It means this person is outrageously pretentious and also not great at written English.

    If you try to unpack this word salad, basically this person is of the opinion that you should protest dirty and smart (I get some hard lefty, “mop” kind of vibes), as opposed to just showing up in huge numbers once in awhile not getting anything done. This person then makes an offhand assertion that the system is rigged against this kind of protest in some double standard way. It seems like they think this is not effective, and also that the people that rise to the top in these situations are not the kind of people you probably want in leadership.

    It makes me think the person feels they are much smarter than they actually are. Instead they ended up looking kind stupid in a “I’m in high school and I am very smart” sort of way.

    At least that’s what I got from reading it twice and that’s as much effort as I have to give it.











  • I think that depends a lot on what you’re expected to do. I’d write an email like this if I were expected to be an effective developer on a Windows system. I use Linux because I use vim, not the other way around. I can’t WSL for linux to use tmux or something and be nailed to one laptop screen, it just isn’t worth it. Besides the whacky clipboard problems, it’s just not sustainable to be permanently containerized in your host system IMO.

    Now if you are using an "I"DE like vscode or something it’s maybe not so bad because it at least plays on windows. Gvim is trash, and the whole reason to really lean in to vim/nvim is to sew your development environment right to any other program you need.

    IDK, there’s a dollar value beyond which I would not care, but it’s a gross amount.
