    I wish the entire world could just ignore Elon Musk. What an absolute waste of our global attention.

    URL-opener, bookmark opener, URL expander (type JIRA-1234 and it’ll automatically open the correct ticket), basic text replacement stuff.

    OK sure, but back when old heads were complaining about the kids not knowing assembly, those same kids knew C or Fortran or something. In 2026, if you call yourself a developer and…
