Just connected my headphones to my Linux PC using Bluetooth for like the _fifth_ time in a row. We're definitely in a weird timeline.

FINALLY the tech layoffs get an explanation that makes sense (their synchronicity, their universality...). The US government remains the first investor of the Silicon Valley after all. "Self-made" lol

I really love the Python dataclasses, however it's true that sometimes the `fields` construct becomes a bit heavy. It might be interesting to integrate that into the language syntax?

Google Docs/Sheets/etc always felt more lightweight than their (Libre)Office counterparts. What if it's because data is stored in a database so essentially it's optimized for random read/writes while office documents must fit in RAM and be written all at once? SQLite as the next docx?

What's for sure is that if AI is credibly going to be able to replace junior web developers at a 5~10 years horizon, niche fields are absolutely safe. LLMs fucking crumble in lots of "offroad" tasks.
