Interesting, I've come to the opposite conclusion: a lack of types (or types that are only weakly enforced) costs me significantly more tokens in the long-run to maintain, and make…

Not OP, but I generally agree. Models are powerful enough now to reliably instruct other models. They don’t need fancy tools or IDEs, just the command line. With deterministic work…

Skills already are "just asking the model". Unless you'd prefer to type out the same instructions every single time? Skills are literally just Markdown documents that get loaded in…

Well if that hypothetical situation ever happens, you can just switch to Linux then.

If that’s the one reason, have you considered just… not using the AI features?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I peaked at 137wpm[0] and I’m not ashamed to say I love typing long sentences. I type fast enough that my thoughts normally can’t keep up with my…

This is some excellent trivia. Thanks!

Do you not think the AI output looks far more polished and print-ready? Canny edges have a lot of noise and don't look at all clean for coloring book purposes.
