French AZERTY on Windows and on Mac have quite some differences in symbol locations, also drives me crazy when switching to my mechanical keyboard.

In AZERTY, the number row works differently. Unshifted gives symbols and commonly-used accented letters like "é" and "à", hold Shift to get a number.

In Windows keyboard, the unshifted "number 8" key corresponds to a "_" while it's a "!" in Mac. The key below Esc on Windows is literally just the superscript 2 for some reason, on Mac it's "@" unshifted, "#" shifted. We also have a key for "μ" and for "§" in Windows.


French AZERTY on Mac doesn't make sense. It doesn't fully map the locations for common shortcuts. Example: cmd + ` on a lot of systems switches windows inside an app (very useful with macOS where cmd + tab circles through apps, not windows). But on the French version, the ` key is somewhere on the right of the 'm' and the shortcut is not replaced with whatever key is above tab.


At this point, what is a human dev even there for?

We have this at work : fully AI-generated code and description. People will give review comments generated by AI which the "author" replies with an AI-generated response, all with LLM wording full of jargons no one understands not even the person who sent it. When you ask them what they meant, yeah idk Claude said so


The human is there as the control valve, the one who keeps the overall context, and the one who injects actual creativity.

Every time the LLM throws jargon around, you call it. "What do you mean by gated wedge?" You call its bullshit, check what it's saying against your understanding of the overall system, and keep it on the straight and narrow.

It's a lot like supervising a junior dev who happens to be very quick at absorbing lots of info, but not so great at the big picture.


There's also the fear of losing a streak one built for so long I'd say


I really wanted to move all of my "important stuff" to Fastmail but I found the emails I was sending kept getting caught in spam mail of the receivers, especially to Outlook emails. This is using the default fastmail.com domain

I know it's not Fastmail's fault but it's a big dealbreaker for me since a lot of professional emails are on Gmail / Outlook. I had this same issue with Proton, missed some opportunities because they didn't even see my mail.
