Perplexity.ai has been my go to for this reason.
It often brings up bad solutions to a problem and checking the sources it references shows it regulary misses the gist of these sources.
There sources it selects are often not the ones I end up using. They are starting point, but not the best starting point.
What it is good for is for finding content when I don't know the terminology of the domain. It is a starting point ready to lead me astray with exquisitely written content.
Find trustworthy sources and use them.
Do you fact-check the answers?

It helps that the model Y has a trunk that's actually accessible versus 3. I would much prefer a practical sedan or wagon but there is not much choice besides the Model S (which lacked a tow hook until recently) and the EQE/EQS (for which the styling requires some getting used to).
The sentiment I hear around me is that you have been lied to.
We have kept the lights on, like many of you asked, and we are looking forward to welcoming a new humorous generation.
Sure, it is not going to be under the same conditions. Things have moved around when you left. Empty voids have been filled. Regardless, I'd love for us to see the propaganda of the time for what it was, propaganda and lies, and to bring the actors and platforms responsible for willingly spreading lies to their knees.
Together we stand stronger in a strong Europe, and reuniting is a sign of Europe's resilience to external influences.
Be honest. Say you don't have references so that you intend to prove yourself from day one.
Most hiring we do is based on what we can find publicly and how the conversation goes. If you have more to show, that helps. We hire (developers) based on code and gut-feeling. We don't do the roles you are looking for but if you have been looking for a longer time already, open an issue on an open source reository you care about and ask how you can help sort out tickets and ask follow-up questions.
Companies search for value (often money, but smaller copanies tend to search broader). For customer support I expect that to mean "low monetary investment (including training), high output". Perhaps they need some flexible additional support. Ask them what they need, see if you can offer that, explain/convince how you will bring offer that and ask if they see improvements to the plan.
PS: also what andrewgross said. Customers count, friends can count. And having ran a business that worked is a great reference to show you do what is necessary.
Late to the party but thank you for making this theme.
The Dacia Spring fits the bill out of necessity (price). It is not fast, it has low range, uses cheap materials and it is rather small.
But I don't think it can spy on you and it's charming through its simple honesty.
My whole work environment is tightly integrated ensuring I can use the same tools nearly everywhere. Things like keybindings (deleting a sentence, spellchecking a region, multiple cursors), macro's (ad-hoc repetitive command sequences), the consistent mostly text-based visual look & feel. All of this lowers the cognitive load.
Comparing to an IDE, Emacs is more of a hyper-configurable integrated work environment. In my case, my code editor (Emacs), my knowledge base (org-roam), my tasks manager (ad-hoc on top of org-mode), my email client (mu4e), my tiling window manager (exwm), interaction with git (magit) and git issues and PRs (forge) as well as some other tools are controlled from Emacs. I call them 'my' because they're sometimes slightly modified to scratch my own itches. I could integrate my calendar but Google's webdav APIs seemed flaky at the time and FireFox only gets some consistent keybindings.
Just a few more years and Emacs will turn 50 years old. You never know what the future will bring but there's a reasonable chance I will not have to throw away what I have learned so far.
Some examples of this integration:
- When I start developing on a project as full-stack I usually have a
M-x develop-projectnamecommand that boots up the application, arranges my windows with the right folders open, backend and frontends started, and a place for FireFox (not integrated, only uses some of the same keybindings) - It is not uncommon for me to receive about 100 emails in a day, some just informative and some requiring action. Processing these can lead to tasks or just information. In any case, treating them and doing actual work on the same day requires focus and a smooth path from throwing it away to drafting out tasks.
- An email can lead to an action to be taken on a server. When managing a server (local or remote), I'll outline the tasks to execute. I can execute these tasks through org-mode's code-blocks on the remote host and have a read-back of commands and output. In this use my knowledge base becomes similar to a Jupyter Notebook but integrated with all the rest. I can also reuse the results whilst working on it and I can mail the read-back to whomever would need to have the result in a readable email.
If you want to come to the dark side and like VIm's keybindings, you may want to use Emacs's evil-mode and keep them. It might just be the best of both worlds.
Agree.
I found it more tempting to accept the initial answers I got from GPT4 (and derivatives) because they are so well written. I know there are more like me.
With the advent of working LLMs, reference manuals should gain importance too. I check them more often than before because LLMs have forced me to. Could be very positive.
