Totally. It's miserable. We are watching cycling through HBO max at the moment, where it is still affordable. We get on TNT for the TdF because Rob Hatch. Surely it will go down the drain even further when the Ellisons get it.
I didn't say that progress stopped only that it is slowing down (ie they become less frequent). Deep seek happening 6 months ago doesn't counter what I said.
Windsurf at the moment. It now can run multiple "flows" in parallel, so I can set one cascade off to look into a bug somewhere while another cascade implements a feature elswhere in the code base. The LLMs spit out their tokens in the background, I drop in eventually to reveiew and accept or ask for further changes.
Until you change model in one of the tabs and all other tabs (and editor instances!) get model changed, stop what they're doing, lose context etc. There is also a bug where if you have two editors working on two codebases they get lost and start working on same thing, I suppose there is some kind of a background workspace that gets mixed up.
I agree that there is a lot of uncertainty about the longevity of batteries. However, it seems to me that the extra depreciation is driven by price cuts of new electric cars.
The article mentions an "electric car could expect to lose £24,000 in value over three years, while a similarly priced petrol car could lose £17,000" - Naturally, given that the sales price of the EV came down by £7,000 last year alone (i.e. Tesla Y).
That might explain why the low end of the market still seems to overvalue used EVs. I've seen many Nissan Leafs with batteries in terrible shape, maxing out at 30-40 mile range, hold their value. Without much in the way of price reductions for newer models at the low end, the used market doesn't need to compete the same way the high end market does.
Edit: this is in the US. Other comments seem to indicate the opposite in the UK.
I started my first job as a software developer in 1990. We ran only the production environment and of course had lenghty down times. I changed jobs frequently and by about 1994, I found dev and prod environments everywhere. By 1998, dev/test/prod setups were the norm.
