I was already disgruntled with 62.5g! I remember when they were 65g. I think a few years older and I would have remembered 68g Mars Bars.

Like Homer Simpson said about alcohol: "To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems", we developers can say about AI (assuming AI-assisted coding can save mem…
