It's a difficult question. Actually I was always of the opinion that cleaning up after work was part of the work and so I tought it to the kids (still I have to do a lot of the cleanup). Maybe I should reconsider.
On the other hand I think it is important to not correct them too much and let them make errors and even ruin tools. Also a little bit of guidance can actually speed up learning (if they are even willing to take some advice).
During my engineering undergrad I worked as a maintenance technician in a research lab and will always remember our manager told us to stop work 30 min before end of shift and put things away and clean up.
Super valuable lesson when sharing tools and work spaces etc
It's so creepy that my kids didn't want to hear it (being read to them) with all the burning and stuff. However they also didn't want to listen to the classic fairy tales by Grimm and Andersen which are super creepy as well. Just think of burning witches or some Anderson fairy tale I remember where one guy is put into a bag and thrown into the river. It's not that I deliberately wanted to read the most creepy stories to them but there's a creepy undertone to even the most famous and "harmless" ones, think of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and so on.
"I want professionally managed software companies to use AI coding assistance to make more/better/cheaper software products that they sell to me for money.” (Simon Willison herein quotes Matthew Yglesias) - this is such a naive and sloppy take. What do you want? "better software"? not going to happen. "cheaper software"? not going to happen either. "more software"? for sure, but is it really what you want?
If I hire a plumber it's certainly not cheaper than doing it myself but when I am paying money I want to make sure it is better quality than what I am vibe plumbing myself.
I definitely want more, higher quality software, maybe even 10X more. Even simple things like a personal assistant that can help manage my social life better don't really exist yet, nevermind that I want a medical team doing research on my behalf/ optimizing my insurance. Or a software team in the background building bespoke software for all my hobbies etc.
I'm already getting and creating better software for cheaper. I have lots of software products that I use that are better now than a few years ago because of AI. And much of the software I use is free. What are you talking about exactly?
And on the creation side, I run a SaaS that's taking over a niche market because it replaces a human-powered process with an AI-powered one. Customers switch to me because they get better results more consistently, much faster, and much cheaper.
~That’s bullshit, the regulations do not mention USB–C, they mention it has to be a common standard, with evaluation every few years~
Edit: I was wrong
> I remember Google maps existing on iOS before Apple Maps was ever released
You couldn’t change the default map app on iOS before the EU forced Apple to allow default apps to be configured. That’s what the person you responded to was claiming, and they are correct
It has to be a USB-C physical receptor and must use USB protocols.
be equipped with the USB Type-C receptacle, as described in the standard EN IEC 62680-1-3:2021 “Universal serial bus interfaces for data and power – Part 1-3: Common components – USB Type-C® Cable and Connector Specification”, and that receptacle shall remain accessible and operational at all times;
incorporate the USB Power Delivery, as described in the standard EN IEC 62680-1-2:2021 “Universal serial bus interfaces for data and power – Part 1-2: Common components – USB Power Delivery specification”;
Ok, I see what I got wrong, I misunderstood the role of the delegation responsible to evaluate technological progress. The standard is indeed in the text and the delegation is allowed to update it to ensure it stays relevant. Sorry for my aggressive tone, I shouldn’t have done that
I guess that ship has sailed and also it's maybe nitpicking but I find it a bit unfortunate to call a new programming language "Rex" when there's already "Rexx" for several decades.
Is it? Now I feel bad for having posted it. I mean, I know some stuff but not enough to judge over all the content in this article. It's unfortunate but from glancing over I thought it was a comprehensive and useful resource. I guess I will just give up on the Internet or something like that.

The pattern ‘something — The « metaphor » <qualifier> ‘ screams Gemini. Gemini seem completely unable to generate a section title that doesn’t follow this annoying pattern.
You just need some AI literacy, this document is very plainly AI generated. You don’t need to be an expert in the content to see that. First time you see an em dash your AI sense should be tingling. Then you see random bolded words alarm bells should be going off. Next you notice 70% of the headlines follow the pattern “The X: Y” and that seals it.
In fact, you can run any form of European legal entity from any country. I.e., I can create an spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością (sp. z o.o.) in Poland, but run the business in Germany. It would be complicated and stupid, but legal.
You can! A foreign EU company just needs to get a "Betriebsnummer" (company number) from "Bundesagentur für Arbeit", which doesn't even require a Betriebsstätte (permanent business establishment, a branch that is not legally independent) or a "Zweigniederlassung" (branch office, legally semi-independent, but still part of the same entity) - and certainly not a subsidiary that has it's own legal persona.
SAP is basically the core of the German compliance machine. Most of the time, people get onto SAP not because its good, but there's a bunch of compliance regs, which basically say 'use SAP'. Noncompliance results in firms basically not doing business with you.
You could try to be boneheaded and comply with whatever standards they need your own way, but that would mean your business partners would need to do more due diligence and expose themselves to risk of what happens if regulators are not happy with the way you conduct your business. So you use SAP.
Is this based on actual experience? Because at a place I worked in the past we did business with BMW, Allianz, Siemens, Munich Re and others and never had to use SAP. Maybe it depends on what part of the delivery chain you are.
For instance with Munich Re you have to "pass" their compliance gate which is comprehensive but still has a lot of leeway.
On the other hand I think it is important to not correct them too much and let them make errors and even ruin tools. Also a little bit of guidance can actually speed up learning (if they are even willing to take some advice).
