Telemetry does not include any data from your terminals, or names of files, folders or projects. In fact they even provide an example JSON payload for you to inspect in the settings dialog.
You can also use a password manager like 1Password [1] to store your private keys, and use a local socket for your SSH agent to automatically unlock using TouchID.
While Apple does make nice hardware and appear to be listening to their users in that respect, don't forget that Tahoe has not been particularly well-received.
I'm a long time SWE and in the last week, I've made and shipped production changes across around 6 different repos/monorepos, ranging from Python to Golang, to Kotlin to TS to Java. I'd consider myself "expert" in maybe one or two of those codebases and only having a passing knowledge of the others.
I'm using AI, not to fire-and-forget changes, but to explain and document where I can find certain functionality, generate snippets and boilerplate, and produce test cases for the changes I need. I read, review and consider that every line of code I commit has my name against it, and treat it as such.
Without these tools I'd estimate being around 25% as effective when it comes to getting up to speed on unfamiliar code and service. For that alone, AI tooling is utterly invaluable.
> ... Feedly that pretend to care about RSS but layer on features unrelated to the protocol
I've been using Feedly since Google killed reader, and while I like the RSS functionality it offers, I do agree that they've slowly been adding more and more features I don't care for.
Maybe it's time to migrate to something like TFA suggests.
I also agree with your other comments; it's huge a shame.
author here, thx for pointing these out! I was simultaneously working on some CSS for my blog on localhost and when I looked up some references to older articles to put in my post, I looked them up in the version of my site that was running locally and forgot to change the links lol. Whoops. Fixed now — thanks again!
