As it seems to be the case in all of these situations, AI fails hard at tasks when compared to tools specifically designed for that task. I use Ruff in all my Python projects because it formats my code and finds (and often fixes) the kind of low complexity/high probability problems that are likely to pop up as a result of human imperfection. It does it with great accuracy, incredible speed, using very little computing resources, and provides levels of safety in automating fixes. I can run it as an automation step when someone proposes code changes, adding all of 3 or 4 seconds to the runtime. I can run it on my local machine to instantly resolve my ID10T errors. If AI can’t solve these problems as quickly, and if it can’t solve anything more complicated reliably, I don’t understand why it would be a tool I would use.

git (by itself) is no harder to host than SSH.

UI components that do things when you click on them but don’t appear until you hover the mouse over them. I’m mostly talking about stuff like little edit buttons with pencil icons or close/cancel buttons with little X’s. I want to select an item from a list or change tabs in my browser, but when I click, I find I am actually now editing the name of the thing or closing/muting a tab because a button that wasn’t there before has suddenly appeared beneath my click action. But it also applies to vanishing scrollbars others have complained about.

On that point, I want bigger scrollbars, not smaller ones. Browsers especially could benefit from the kind of minimap I get in a code editor.
