It sounds like your boss needs to stop being anyone's boss. That kind of view is going to lead to piles of tech debt and everything that comes with it.

The protocols designed for Kitty are great, but I when I last gave Kitty itself a try, I felt it was extremely opinionated in a very off-putting way.

It was advertised as being highly extensible and scriptable, but despite that, I found it to be less flexible than my old setup which wired up tmux with Python scripts. For instance, I was able to track which pane was previously active when creating a new split, allowing me to have the newly-created pane's bashrc read the old pane's bash /proc/ entry to copy the environment variables. That wasn't possible in Kitty. And although Kitty's splits layout were functional, resizing the splits themselves was an unconfigurable pain in the ass because the sizing is based on width/height rather than bounding boxes.

I would normally chalk that up to growing pains of a new project, but reading through the GitHub issues and documentation didn't leave me with the impression that the author cared about how something could be done in Kitty, but only that it could be done in the most basic sense. If the user's workflow would benefit from having a partial overlay or popup, tough shit—they can either use a full overlay or create a layout for it.

It didn't sit well with me, and moving to Kitty full time would have been a downgrade in productivity for practically no real benefit.

I would prefer Kitty.

Is there any particular reason why you prefer that one specifically? Out of all the newer terminal emulators I have tried, the only one I disliked more than kitty was warp.

Meanwhile: private prisons at home..

Cue to how "not now" became the new "no". Frankly, it makes me respect when a dev includes a "no, and don't ask again" option.

"Do you like our app?"

[Yes] [No]

Both options open an app store rating dialog.

Why the fuck would anyone want to invest in a company where the CEO is an illegal immigrant that steals over a trillion a year from the company?

Because he runs a grift by selling and hyping fantastical ideas to people with more money than common sense.

Anyone who works in any of the fields Elon claims to be an expert in knows he's full of shit and hasn't a clue about what he's talking about, but they are the minority.

For everyone else, the promises and his "history" are enough to sound like one-in-a-lifetime investment opportunities. Now consider the phenomenon of repetition influencing what people believe, then pair that with a vocal minority of layman investors whose egos can't let them accept failure so they spend their time trying convince everyone else that they made the right decision.

Trend chasing with FOMO whipped cream.

It's good that the community stepped up when CD Projekt didn't.

We all know the answer to C. In a couple of years it will be a good time to open a "tech debt reduction" consulting company.

Main character syndrome. It comes with the territory of being a narcissist.

How capable are LLMs at replacing software jobs above an entry-level grade? I imagine giving a gaggle of fresh grads the entirety of human knowledge and asking them to create software would create something, but I don't imagine the outcome would be high enough quality to have a net positive in productivity after someone has to spend the next 5 years adding to or changing it.

Sounds familiar. Hype first, promise "next year" availability, deliver on promises never.
