Why would their experience be relevant? They're asking a question, so obviously they have things to learn. You could be nicer about it.

That's a bit like saying "I'm not interested in compiler warnings, my program works for me." The issues this article discusses are like compiler warnings, but for the community. You should be free to ignore them, just by scrolling past. But forbidding compiler warnings would not fly in any respectable project.
I hadn't bought a bundle in a long time, maybe I just don't remember it being that bad, but really? Even with the "extra to charity" preset, the charity gets less than Humble themselves? That's kind of gross.
GitHub Desktop works well for me and my workflow; even though the Linux version is only supported by the community (possible thanks to it being open source). The UI is very neat and simple. Yet you can do squash, reorder commits, ammend, commit hunks etc. Dark theme available of course! It integrates with GitHub (for PRs mostly) but afaik isn't tied to GitHub repos.
I second this. I lead a team of engineers, and to us the main dividing line between senior and not senior is if you're able to take on a project and lead it autonomously. I.e., you've gone past the stage where all you do is take on the next ticket in your task tracker; you have an awareness and understanding of the bigger picture, which allows you to create tickets on your own and select the most appropriate thing to work on next. The lead (me) is still there to help prioritize, fetch requirements, unblock things, etc, but it's fairly light touch management.
(Edit: my job title is Principal Software Engineer)
There's no specific AI detection at the moment, as far as I can tell. But it has "listicle" detection. If you ask "best lawn mower", all these "the 5 best lawn mowers of 2023" websites with affiliated Amazon links get pooled into a compact Listicle section, that you can just scroll past and ignore.
That's crazy. Google/DDG bloat from SEO websites had already driven me out a while ago, so I hadn't noticed. I've been using Kagi for a few months now, and I find I can trust my search results again. Being able to permanently downgrade or even block a given website is an awesome feature, I would recommend it just for that.
I don't know what shady shit you're referring to. They do AI, but I don't use any of that. IMO their core strength is the search engine and how it works for you rather than against.
