>With Claude Code I often have multi-second freezes and it’s process blows up to gigabytes of memory.

I am in a mood where I find it excessively funny that, all that talk about AI, agents, billions of dollars, tera-watts/-hours spent, and people still manage to publish posts with the "its/it's" mistake.

(I am not a native English speaker, so I notice it at a higher rate than people who learned English "by ear".)

Maybe you don't care or you find it annoying to have it pointed out, but it says something about fundamentals. You know, "The way you do one thing is the way you do all things".

As a native speaker, for a very long time I didn't understand why "its" existed, and saw "it's" as parallel to "aredox's" - apostophe-s being either ownership or contraction depending on context (made even more confusing because "s" without an apostrophe is pluralization with other words). Somehow it didn't click until late teens or early 20s that "its" is supposed to be a separate word along the lines of "his" and "hers".

I get what you're saying. "they're" and "their" is also a classic that many non-natives seem to get right, but native speakers have trouble with.

But OP isn't native either. He's Austrian.

i dont think its/it's will still be distinct in the dictionary in 15 years. Native english speakers dont really care about the difference, and autocorrect on touch keyboards have disconnected a lot of the input and output of people's typing.

tbh in the time where everyone uses AI to write articles, some typos and mistakes like that are helpful to show that it's human made.
