These days GCC has much better error messages even for non-vector code, IMO. I feel like Clang has become more of a research platform and GCC is winning on the usability front

How do you know if it works? Not that "works" is different from "runs".

tbh... it seems to work contrary to all expectation that slop shouldn't work. but, then, just when I think about the incredible corporate slop i've seen here and there, that not only works, but pays. well I guess we have to agree - slop works. and that's fine.

Not sure if it's fine but when it pays it doesn't have to be.

That's because you must be using cross-platform apps.

Every company that is not Google lets you have code on your laptop. This is only an annoying thing that they came up with.

Mine doesn’t. They don’t even issue work laptops; work is done on desktops only.

One hopes you are better at that than the many others who are doing the same.

I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people.

I'm not sure why people keep repeating this when Twitter was profitable at the point that Elon bought it.

Claude, is that you?

Aside from the fact that it doesn't run iOS and like every other aspect of it?

The nicest to hold iPhone ever made was iPhone 5. I'm sure it was his favorite.

The first time I held an iPhone 5, I thought it was a demo device. It was too light to actually be the real device. That was such a great phone.

The iPhone 5 size was designed for people who use smartphones a healthy amount, ie not very much, usually in pocket and often one-handed for a small task. At some point, that was no longer how smartphones were most often used.

I kept my 5S as long as possible, until my carrier wouldn't even provide cell service to it.

Yep, this form factor was the peak. Like others said, if you run your life on your smartphone I guess it might not be sufficient. I just feel sorry for the people actually ruining their lives on their phones though. What shitty typing and multitasking experiences they must have...

And it sat perfectly flat and didn't wobble when you set it down... ¯\_(ツ)_/
