I love this way of thinking about it.
I haven’t been interested in AI enough to try writing code with it, but using it as an interactive rubber ducky is a very compelling use case. I might give that a shot.

These two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
Oh my, what a throwback. Nicely done.
Your analogy is very incomplete. No one is saying that Intel’s products or technology is “moving backwards”, but rather that their market share and performance as a company are declining.
Take your person “standing still” and imagine they were previously in the lead during a marathon and suddenly stopped before the finish line. They’re not moving backwards, but their position in the race is dropping from first, to second, to third, and they will eventually be last if they don’t start moving again.
I sometimes name booleans after the action that will be taken rather than the condition they represent For example, I might have booleans called “doQuickInit” or “invertResult”. I find this very useful when the value of a boolean is determined by a complex series of conditions that are not actually true or false.
It’s only a matter of time before it’s not an option anymore. Every shitty new behavior they put in is an easy-to-use option at first, then a registry setting or policy, then even that goes away and it gets baked in.

Embedded software developer here.
Oh damn, I thought I was going to be the only one here!
I don’t know how you get by with only one. Between source code, simulators/emulators, datasheets, requirement specs, log files, e-mails from senior devs with tribal knowledge not written down anywhere else, and a bunch of other bullshit, I sometimes find 3 24" monitors to be lacking.
Distractions aren’t a problem because I can easily use up all that screen real estate for a single task.
From the hovertext: “I wrote 20 short programs in Python yesterday. It was wonderful. Perl, I’m leaving you.”
After years of a dozen other languages, I finally tried Perl the other day.
Never again, if I can help it.
Working with small ESD-sensitive electronics and using a proper grounding strap and mat with large resistors in series to provide protection from shock? Absolutely.
Wiring up a car battery or working with mains power? Absolutely not.
Using multiple desktops may help you keep all those open programs more organized. :)
I use only use them at work. One desktop is for e-mail, chats, and my music player, the other has all the stuff I need for whatever I’m actually working on at the moment. If I’m switching back and forth between two unrelated tasks, I might use a third to keep everything for the two tasks separate.
Is “multiple desktops” different from virtual desktops? Because i’ve been using virtual desktops in Windows 10 for a while now.
Everyone at Mentor Graphics did before it got gobbled up by Siemens in 2017. I don’t know if they still do.
Nice work!
Without formal a formal education program, finding the right subset of a new skill or hobby is probably the best way to hook yourself in so it’s easier to keep at it long enough to really start learning. It sounds like concepts are finally sticking for you because you have an immediate and fun application for them.
I hope more people continue to find unconventional paths into the field like you did, keep going with it.

Complaining on twitter isn’t hitting anyone. A financial impact is the only thing that will drive change.
Some people have so little going for them that winning imaginary gun battles is the only thing that makes them feel powerful. But they’re not even good enough at the game to do it on their own, so they cheat and trick themselves into feeling good about it.
Fair enough, sounds reasonable.
Not trying to be snarky here, but what are you trying to do with your phone without opening your eyes? I sometimes snooze my morning alarm with the power button on the side without looking at it, but what did the home button do for you when you weren’t looking at the screen?
I think you just missed a joke.
Nice to see a new verb used in a headline.
