This is really cool. It seems to me LLMs and books are a match made in heaven. An LLM query is more useful than a google search for most text.
Would be cool to see this more deeply integrated, in a koreader extension or something
I think it's an interesting psychological phenomenon similar to virtue signalling. Here you are signalling to the programmer in-group how good of a programmer you are. The more dismissive you are the better you look. Anyone worried about it reveals themself as a bad coder.
It's a luxury belief, and the better LLMs get the better you look by dismissing them.
It's essentially like saying "What I do in particular, is much too difficult for an AI to ever replicate." It is always in part, humble bragging.
I think some developers like to pretend that they are exclusively solving problems that have never been solved before. Which sure, the LLM architecture in particular might never be better than a person for the novel class of problem.
But the reality is, an extremely high percentage of all problems (and by reduction, the lines of code that build that solution) are not novel. I would guesstimate that less than 1 out of 10,000 developers are solving truly novel problems with any regularity. And those folks tend to work at places like Google Brain.
That's relevant because LLM's can likely scale forever in terms of solving the already solved.

Looks like the virtue signalling is done on both sides of the AI fence.
Not sure how you equate that statement with virtue signaling.
This is just a natural consequence of the ever growing repository of solved problems.
For example, consider that sorting of lists is agreed upon as a solved problem. Sure you could re-discover quick sort on your own, but that's not novel.
I agree sibling comments are not quite correct about persistent email access. You could fix the email problem while the "backdoor" to Gitlab remains.
The problem statement says this about corrective action:
>I discover the hack and change the passwords on every account I know about
In actuality, the corrective action is to change the passwords and revoke any SSO integrations.
To the original point, this does add more overhead to the process, probably isn't obvious to most people, and depends on the site having clear UI for the topic.
I agree with you but take it further, what's the point of different spaces? Just put all apps to full screen size (not "fullscreen") on the first screen and alt tab instantly
I like some of my apps full-screen, like nvim in the iterm should be full-screen. The top bar, tab bar and controls is not something i wanna see all the time there, as i'm using only keyboard in my workflow. I'm mostly into zen black screen with 100 columns of text in the center when it comes to editing documents, and nvim + iterm can provide such flawless black zen screen. Also games, books, graphic apps, all look better taking 100% of the height not 80%, as the 20% on top is usually mouse controls for those who don't remember any hotkeys
Too many tabs is overwhelming. I know for myself when the tab count gets high it's a sign that my mind is cluttered, I'm unfocused, and I need to prune and centre myself again.
Bookmarks are one way, but I mainly just use the search bar directly for history. Things to read later are put into Pocket or linked in Obsidian notes or somewhere more relevant.
