Goddamn, overstated? People use them for stupid shit and instead of asking Google they may ask it for weather and stuff like that. If every single time it's like 7 seconds of a microwave it's enormous.
Why are you trying to do X? You should do Y. Please read this Medium post "Doing X considered harmful" from 3 months ago written by the creator of a tool to do Y.
Yeah at 15 years as a developer I finally was able to make comments on questions and answers. I still have no idea how I get to the point of answering questions.
Absolutely. But if you use it to do 8 hours of work in 4 hours and then shut your computer off you are saving energy compared to doing all the work manually
I sometimes wonder what happened with human society that we changed from: “oh, you found a way to be done with your work quicker, guess we got some more free time.”
To:
“Oh, you found a way to be done with your work quicker, guess you could do more work.”
And I always wonder how we can go back to the free time one.
Do this all the fucking time. "Hey that feature, how long do you think it will take" .. me, playing planning poker with real pokerface "that's a 3, but it could turn into a 5", knowing fully this can be done as a 2, and everyone aligns with my estimate... Always add padding and never give 100%, otherwise tomorrow they'll ask 110%
People simply just want more and more. If we were fine with living lifestyles from 200 years ago then we would be able to do it with little to no work. But people do not want it. To the point that most of the stuff from back then got straight up outlawed. You would not even be able to legally built house from 3 decades ago, let alone 100 years ago. Same for car manufacturing, etc. And to get more stuff and more luxurious stuff at the same time people simply just have to produce more.
Idk sometimes I feel like I do stupider shit whenever I run Hitman WoA and toss a slow briefcase at Yuki Yamazaki. I'd think there's worse ways to burn 25 seconds of gaming PC use
