  • Before you know it, you’re buying fancy pencils & paper from some specific town in Japan that has been making them for 500 years. Your computer is getting too weak for your hobby so you need to upgrade. The outdoors are nice… But they’d be even nicer in those new Mammut boots and Arcteryx shell.

    And body? Well, eventually you’ll start buying sports medicine because of these stupid bodies being single-use only.

    (I’m joking, of course, that is a great approach)













  • Not really. The point is not to search for something specific, but rather get a bigger context for the thing you’re trying to understand. AI tools will take your prompt and create keywords to grep the codebase, then analyze the results and give you an overview.

    It’s not “find x” and then the AI just does “grep x”. It’s more like “where do susbcribed users get redirected when logging with Google OAuth” and the AI does “grep google|oauth|isSubscriber” and from the 100s of results give you an overview of specific lines of code which are responsible for that chain of events.

    I could definitely do that myself (and have, for many years), but this is just faster and easier.
