- can AI replace the job of a real programmer, or a team of software engineers? Probably not for a long time.
- can manager abuse the fantasy that they could get rid of those pesky engineers that dare telling them something is impossible? Yes totally. If they believe adding an AI tool to a team justifies a 200% increase in productivity. Some managers will fire people against all metrics and evidence. Calling that move a success. Same occurred when they try to outsource code to cheaper teams.
I use org-mode to maintain a todo list. A very important detail. All todo must have a schedule or deadline.
Every time I open my editor it shows the agenda view that present me the list of tasks to do today and the ones I haven’t completed in the past.
Mainly, if you can have a similar habit it will work as a meta habit that will improve and grow other time.
Plus org-mode can do so much more, this becomes really useful. Like help with creating new habits, write dynamic documents, etc… I wrote an article about my workflow here https://yannesposito.com/posts/0015-how-i-use-org-mode/index.html
If you don’t want to go full Cloudflare you can mitigate DDOS using these kind of technique locally.

Cloudflare will be a lot more effective in case of attack. But I don’t think most people need more than a few mitigation rules. If DDOS really come, there are very few things you could do to mitigate anyway.
1984 world is about a totalitarian socialist country inspired by nazi practice of propaganda. So I would not say just fascism. But fascism is clearly part of the book, the novel also show that this could occurs also in a socialist state.
S-expressions are a hack because the Lisp devs didn’t know how to make an actual compiler, and instead had the users write the syntax tree for them. (For legal reasons I am being facetious).
Just for anyone thinking you are serious; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-expression I love how S-expression existed.
McCarthy had planned to develop an automatic Lisp compiler (LISP 2) using M-expressions as the language syntax and S-expressions to describe the compiler's internal processes. Stephen B. Russell read the paper and suggested to him that S-expressions were a more convenient syntax. Although McCarthy disapproved of the idea, Russell and colleague Daniel J. Edwards hand-coded an interpreter program that could execute S-expressions.[2] This program was adopted by McCarthy's research group, establishing S-expressions as the dominant form of Lisp.
Technically, sleep sort is O(n), so faster than the theoretical optimal sorting algorithm O(n.log n) ... not so bad ;)
Can a line be a cat? I love kittens.
Clojure is pretty decent.
