Nope. Vim and Neovim users can use the cusor-agent cli for agentic stuff and there prefered editing tool for editing. All the major providers have a cli specific version these days. Probably because folks actually didn't want to actually use the cursor Gui and once Claude code came along those folks jumped ship and went full cli again
Yes, removing leadership is very important. It's why the US does it every 4 to 8 years. The Iranians aren't gone just because they lost a leader. If anything they proved resilient.
The biggest problems with all of this seem to be the knock-on effects, as well as the lead-up. Does this new deal actually do more than Obama's? Doubtful. Obama's didn't come with a girls' school blown to bits or a world leader assassinated.
Everything around the politics of the attack looks amateurish. Calling on Europe to attack Iran even though no deal is in place with them to do so. Not stopping Iranian strikes throughout the middle east. Not keeping Israel in line. The war has been dragging on for months, but "it'll end this week." No, this week. "Very close this week." "Very close this week."
Then there's the issue of shooting down cheap drones with expensive equipment. Why in the name of the Lord is it that Ukraine has been bombed by Shaheds for years and defended against them using NATO and US weapons, but operators of US equipment in the Middle East had nothing to show for it? Did the US not have direct access to how the Ukrainians were using their equipment in a war characterized by the use of drones and AI to an extent never before seen? Did the US decide to not look into that for years, or simply let it slide knowing Iran would bomb its neighbors? Why was it that Zelenskyy had to go to the Middle East to make sure they used American weapons correctly? It seems to me lately that every country that can produce a meaningful amount of oil has been directly or indirectly affected by American aggression, and one has to wonder why you'd do something so blatant in slow motion.
I do think the Chinese will give away strong models. The US government can't control that and would make a mess if they tried. Companies making SOTA models would be undercut and all the funding that went into them would be wasted. Sounds like a great strategy for the Chinese.
They fail to communicate in the same way we fail to download a copy of "the truths of the world as we know it" into every child's brain. It's easily to say " look both ways when you cross the road" but speech is so one dimensional. It's a slow tape reel and that's just the encoding.
Well, you can help nurture it. Prehaps instead of speaking how about how it couldn't work think about what you'd need to do to make it work or where it could work. Tend to the garden!
I think the issue with ubi is it's not really basic. Cloths food and shelter are basic. I'm much more inclined to support ubi if it's food shelter cloths.
I've been building several things lately in my spare time:
- After Actions (https://www.afteractions.net/) - The company I work for pays for retrospective software, and I figured I could make my own. So I did! Good for agile retrospective ceremonies
- Data Atlas (https://www.data-atlas.net/) - Right now, it's a basic JSON Schema form builder with a UI on top, but I intend to expand it and improve it to be more than that this year.
I've been working on a BuddhaBoard-like app and a few other projects, but nothing I'm prepared to share right now. Maybe next month :D

I have over a decade of experience in development and several years in leadership as well. I'm particularly fond of start-ups, and I like to build things in my spare time.
Recently, in my free time, I've been delving into vibe coding with Claude Code. A couple of my results thus far are here:
