Owning a home is like paying into a bank account made from bricks, but it increases in value. Yes it requires upkeep and maintenance, because entropy wants it to be a decaying pile of rubble. The land will always have a value, so maintenance is kind of optional-ish.
The people trying to convince you to keep renting are, sometimes, rental investors stealing from your children's inheritance. Renting is paying a property investors mortgage in return for a home you don't have to/cannot directly maintain but you are still paying for the maintenance on a weekly/monthly basis at an agreed rate with annual increases.
On the other hand if you're not going to have kids it's bit like Brewsters Millions where you try to spend everything you make without acquiring assets and without running out of money while you still need it.
You can always sell and go back to renting, but if you rent for 30 yrs you will put at least a couple of homes worth of your earnings into renting over that period.
I don't think you can go completely hands-off for quality products but you can relax and let the agent do as much as possible. It does enable things that probably wouldn't have happened otherwise.
If you are already comfortable with letting other devs work on features then it's easier, because it's similar (arguably you have more control with AI, because what you say goes regardless of hierarchy).
If you are "choosing" between operating systems, son get some rest it's past your bedtime.
If on the other hand there are 3 or more different operating systems running on your current desk, with multiple VMs, well ok lets talk.
Linux fan, great? Have you ever patched the kernel, that seems like the minimum before I can take you seriously as a voice of experience. Running other people distro scripts doesn't count but I'll accept applying a diff. Basic points if you have configured swap manually and know the lifetime of your /tmp
macOS user, awesome, do you know what a kext is. No? Oh. Never built a hackintosh? Uh, ok.
Windows, great, you know how to open a command prompt as system, right? Wait you've never heard of sysinternals huh, cool yeah.
If you're going to lecture others or roll your eyes at an OS, start from at least ankle deep levels of experience.
"Can I Get Claude to Fly A Plane" isn't the same thing. Interesting though, would be a good test for different models but it relies on the test harness being good enough that a human could also use the same info to achieve the required outcome. e.g. if latency of input/output is too slow then nobody could do it.
