There used to be sites where people did just that. They've shut down their comment sections because of bots. Also, you can find them by searching for that particular topic because spammy sites with better SEO drown it out.
I studied computer engineering in Finland, so Linux is probably way overrepresented in my circles.
Personally I just don't see any other viable desktop operating system. But gaming is pretty far down on the list of things I use my computers for. If a new game doesn't run, I'm fine waiting for the switch port a decade later.
I have great internets at home, but I did a lot of sailing abroad with limited roaming. I had my home server set up to download new videos from my favourite YouTube channels and put them in a shared syncthing directory.
I'd just go hit that local pub or library with free WiFi and let syncthing on my smartphone do its thing.
Agentic use of AI didn't really work well enough until December of last year. The models and tools just improve that fast. Codex/claude (or opencode with the same top models) is what you'd need for it.
You still need to plan and define clear specifications for the model. Spend 80% of your time planning and breaking down the job into steps and it'll be pretty self-going from there.
Of course, this works best for common frameworks and solved problems or logical problems. React/node developers can easily 10x their output, and get it done better than they would by hand.
I'm working more with empirical development, so most of my time goes into studying environments and adapting to it. I get most benefit out of having agents read through logs and figure out what happened. It gets it right maybe half the time, but it's a good rubber ducky even when it goes wrong. I'd say it 2-3xes my output. But I can probably improve my usage, too.
But yeah, code review is where it hurts. If it's slop, it just takes so many rounds to get it right. Even when it's good, it's just so much code to review.
I don't necessarily use condoms..
