Now imagine if someone combined Jia Tan patience with swiss-cheese security like all of our editor plugins and nifty shell user land stuff and all that.

Developer stuff is arguably the least scrutinized thing that routinely runs as mega root.

I wish I could say that I audit every elisp, neovim, vscode plugin and every nifty modern replacement for some creaky GNU userland tool. But bat, zoxide, fzf, atuin, starship, viddy, and about 100 more? Nah, I get them from nixpkgs in the best case, and I've piped things to sh.

Write a better VSCode plugin for some terminal panel LLM gizmo, wait a year or two?

gg

Someday, someone, hopefully, will fix xkcd 1200.
