As a senior developer I have serious doubts about the whole thing. Yes, I don’t do tedious typing anymore, now I do extremely tedious code review all day, my least favorite part of the job. And I have to be very vigilant because the AI is an idiot more often than not. Then when I finally publish my own code it’s time to go review my colleagues’ ai code and figure out what they missed in their review.

I don’t feel much of a productivity multiplier. I’m not saying we won’t get there, but this current iteration ain’t it.

Cool! Surely there is a library for ffmpeg that can get the PAR without having to resort to subprocesses though.

Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Great strategy game, on steam or gog, can’t remember which one has the expansion packs, but they’re not necessary anyway for the first year. I played it for hundreds of hours with my sister as a kid. Has a lot of replayability. Works really well with two players with hot seat mode. More players and you will want to use the network capability.
