If you need a new window into the absurdity of perceived value get into guitars and then check the prices for new or used instruments.
It's funny seeing how guitars with scratches and chips lose or earn value depending on whether they're "vintage" or not.
And don't get me started on paying absurd prices for someone to scratch your guitar at the factory, or for pre-rusted components like tuners or bridge plates.
Fun story.
I got a second hand guitar once and I thought the previous owner was the sweatiest person ever and never cleaned the tuners because they were all rusty and dirty.
I discovered months later that those tuners are sold like that and they are considerably more expensive.
I got very interested in classical music so I decided to get a violin. I was testing different brands at the shop but there was something I didn't like.
After a couple of hours of this I realized it was the size, so I asked the owner if they had bigger ones and... VIOLA!
I think the perfect alibi is to commit a crime and then manage to get casted to play your own role in the reconstruction for Aktenzeichen XY because of your similarity with the "real criminal".
Then you can brush off the suspicions as "the actor".
I wonder if it ever happened.
If you have access to Copilot in the CLI give it a go. Its a tool I've been using for the last few months apart from using it as part of the dev team.
I find it super useful for everything git or complex shell commands and it saved the devs in GitHub a lot of my git questions.
I see a worrying trend of online AI generated content and content generating apps climbing the ranks in Google search and poisoning factual information with errors.
How long until we can't really trust anything we search for?
Today, we are bringing the next frontier of developer tools with the general availability of GitHub Copilot Enterprise – a companion that is customized to your organization’s knowledge and codebase.
