Man, I sure wish cybertrucks had been around to deflect when I spent 7 years driving a Fiat Panda.

AI: "Have you tried funding public transport and regulating the carbon industry?"

Ok, now we need to make a new AI so that AI can solve global warming but without using an existing solution that might marginally inconvenience the mega rich.

Short answer is no, I think because what tools you need for programming change so much based on the development you're doing. C++ developers need compiler toolchain stuff that Javascript developers would never need to look at and vice versa.

Curveball answer is that modern extensible IDEs with the power of language servers and plugins have kind of become this. I'd massively recommend properly getting into one of the following and learning how to configure new languages and plugins:

  • VScode
  • Neovim
  • Emacs
  • Helix

(Sure I've probably missed some great options, feel free to flame me on why notepad++ should be OPs first choice)

Ah Marginalia is absolutely awesome! I feel like modern search is almost an extension of website names now, so if I want to find netflix but don't know it's website, I might search for "netflix". Marginalia is actually a cool way to find new stuff- like you can search "bike maintenance" and find cool blog posts about that topic.

I honestly can't remember if that's something google and the like used to do, but doesn't now, or if they never did. Either way, I love it!
