developing with LLMs is a superpower, new workflow is immaculate

Before:
1. search StackOverflow
2. test the code
3. get the opinion of a developer better than me
4. commit

Now:
1. ask the LLM
2. test the code
3. get the opinion of a developer better than me
4. commit

Perplexity charts with code generation and execution have the potential to be the friendly UI and affordable Bloomberg terminal for the masses, which everyone has wanted for a long time! Perplexity Pro is $20/mo, while Bloomberg Terminal is $2500/mo. So, more than 100x cheaper.

I don't recall another time in CS history where a result like this is obvious to the point of banality to one group. And heretical to another.

Sergio Leone: The first shot will be a horseman in the distance. [tearing up a little] And he will be shot in the head so beautifully….

Ennio Morricone: Sergio my friend I love this first shot. It is molto sublime. Perhaps one second later a spring should go “boing” 100 times?

When I first learned about @duckdb I had no idea why it exists and what it does.

Today I used it for the first time for a personal project, and... wow!

It all clicked, I'm enlightened. I love it.
