I just chose to use an editor whose very architecture doesn't require nonsense like this so the editor doesn't freeze on me.

Oh, you use Lazarus? Cool, it's an amazing project. Too bad it's a bit of an unsung hero, it deserves it's day in the limelight.

Cool story bro.

I've got an emacs uptime measured in years, so I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm happy that you're happy.

Oh, you're so funny. What you've been "editing" buddy, your gramma's cookie recipes? Just the other day I transcribed a three-hour long video of a meetup, picking the model, setting parameters, running the process; then scrolling through Reddit while waiting for it to finish; then I opened the transcript in subtitle-editing mode that allowed me to "follow" the video - I would scroll through the subs and it would move the player pointer, I'd watch the part, pause, move back and forth, etc. The opposite way is also possible - moving the pointer in the video will automatically move the cursor in the text. I then sent a request to a model asking it to summarize it, extracted pieces for my notes. I explored URLs from the meeting by OCRing them automatically - I didn't have to manually type jackshit, I'd point to a frame, select the region on the screen, and voila - the url appears in the buffer. I then reverse-url-searched those links, I was curious of what people been talking about that stuff on HN. Then I grabbed the links shared in each thread - single key-press for me. All that without leaving Emacs - no context switching, no focus-wandering, no lollygagging. And that's just a regular Wednesday. The crazy part, that I could just ask an LLM do all that - it could actively drive the process, directly opening things, moving between the buffers, gathering data, etc. Or I could ask it to make it into a deterministic script - if I wanted to have it for automation or whatever.

You "chose to use an editor", pfff... bro, my key-switches are dying of laughing.
