Are... are you serious? Markdown formatting? The formatting standard that's designed to be essentially plain text?

That’s not a “calculated risk.” It’s just a risk.

I don’t see how the OP is paying enough attention to know that terrible things are not happening. Sure, he can roll back, but that only works well for obvious problems that he catches in time.

I haven’t heard that it is inherently dangerous to use popular tools of the normal sort without carefully scrutinizes every output. But there are many horror stories about the unreliability of LLMs.

The backup part is the crucial piece here. If you have reasonable guard rails for your AI, you can throw much more at it. Let it write tests before implementing something, ensure the code is in version control before promoting a change, etc.

Aside, I tried to move my ~/Code folder (where all my programming projects and work live) into the macOS iCloud folder so that everything would auto-sync.

But the constant Git churn created a lot of traffic and collisions in that folder. And when I googled it, apparently it's just not a good idea to sync Git projects in iCloud.

I really want to easily sync my folders so that I can just get a new macbook and recreate my environment.

Anyone have any tips?
