since it’s JIT, it’s actually faster than Python and Java in most cases.

Java is JIT’d too, and Python can be depending on which runtime you deploy.

Back in 2009-2010 I bought an entry level 13" MacBook Pro because it was fairly competitively priced compared to other options with similar specs, but the MBP had by far the better battery life, display quality, touchpad, and probably keyboard.

People decide who to hire for what roles and who to lay off. People form unions and people bust unions. The shareholders are people, and the decisions made in their interests are made by other people.

When was the last time you saw a corporation making decisions and taking actions of its own accord, without people?

Maybe they will start to, now, as people delegate their responsibilities to “AI”

AI on its own isn’t a threat, but people (mis)using and misrepresenting AI are. That isn’t a problem unique to AI but there sure are a lot of people doing dumb and bad things with AI right now.

You can check the release notes to be sure, but generally you can just perform the update and move on with life. Backing up your data is always a smart precaution.

“We” haven’t moved anywhere, I just chimed in for the first time with my interpretation of what the other person was talking about. Jeez.

GitHub is a git hosting provider, but it also has its own service software for all the peripherals - organizations, issues, pull requests, all the user account management stuff, etc. AFAIK those parts are mostly/all proprietary.
