Ughh. That "own time." Spoken like a true middle manager who thinks passion is a liability.

I use Cursor by asking it exactly what I want and how I want it. By default, Cursor has access to the files I open, and it can reference other files using grep or by running specific commands. It can edit files.
It performs well in a fairly large codebase, mainly because I don’t let it write everything. I carefully designed the architecture and chose the patterns I wanted to follow. I also wrote a significant portion of the initial codebase myself and created detailed style guides for my teammates.
As a result, Cursor (or you can say models you selecting because cursor is just a router for commercial models) handles small, focused tasks quite well. I also review every piece of code it generates. It's particularly good at writing tests, which saves me time.

Discord is IRC's next evolution. Next generation chat. Good voice, excellent interactivity.
It has problems (bugs & weak beta phases) but after nearly 20 years of irc, i stopped my bnc (currently znc) instance last week. ~20 years of irc, countless bots, tons of good memories.
it is time to say goodbye for now.

1- WebSocket Server / Service (Poorly designed, barely alive)
It was fine until it was not. It seems managing a lot of connections are harder than our team thinks it is. I still don't get it why we dedicated a couple of people to this for very long time. We should have used one of the existing services like pusher or signalr etc.
2 - Mobile Push Notifications Service only for our usage.
To be honest this was working fine but they designed it like to be one of competitors. Was not worth the effort.

Do you understand how algorithm or statistics works?
They are giving people what they want. Freedom. People is watching that videos and made them more popular. They are free to share their thoughts.
Even google can't predict all the negativeness and prevent them with computer systems. Expecting being a god from google is unfair.
I think this is hate for google more than arguments against google.
I dislike chrome and using Firefox for a long time. But i don't think this is objective and completely true.

This is big issue no matter how you look at it.
Maybe "no trade secrets" is a bit exaggeration.

I am also a technician and installed win10 more than i can count. Yes Old & Slow and New Budget-friendly machines are problematic with windows 10. Thats mainly because hardware. Because its new OS and getting better hardware is a must. You cant complain about a calculator can not run win10 properly. OF course 5200 rpm hdd and celeron cpu fails.
win10 is confusing? Yes. Sometimes goes hard on user? Yes. Annoying with their "windows store"? Oh very yes.
Slow and Freezing constantly? No. Proper UEFI setups works like a charm with proper machines.
Usable? yes it is.
