Generative AI is more popular than ever, but it's not worth it if it's not used responsibly. The other 45% are PEBKAC
Who am I kidding, it's almost always PEBKAC*

It seems there's a five-letter word describing what many players of the wildly popular Wordle puzzle do daily as they struggle to find a target word within six tries. C-H-E-A-T, G-U-I-L-T, P-H-O-N-Y
Apologies to the three people (it seems) on CP who _don't_ play Wordle

I’m often asked if I have any advice for other software engineers, and the absolute number one piece of guidance I give is “make sure your work is visible”. "See me, feel me, touch me, heal me"

A farmer had 3 chicken, that put the eggs every day in the very same basket alltogether. And everyday was the same, there were only 2 eggs. So he decided to pay attention.
He decided to watch for some days and he saw always the same pattern, two chicken came out clucking out loud and the third one always left silently and run to hide somewhere in the backyard.
The farmer was fully convinced. And got the third chicken and made a mulligan/hotpot with it.
To his surprise (and regret) the next days the basket was totally empty.
Moral:
- Not everyone that clucks out loud has done anything useful
- Make sure your performance is noticed, running silently to hide in the backyard can be really dangerous.

Instead, Windows Terminal is designed to provide a more modern and feature-rich interface for command-line enthusiasts, offering the flexibility to work with various command-line applications, including Command Prompt, PowerShell, and others. Because people just love their batch files
Yeah, I know you can host cmd in terminal and get your batch files done that way. But it really just brings up the point again, "what's the point of terminal anyway?"
"command-line enthusiasts"?!?!?
