I think you are right. Scoping is definitely a factor.

That's a joke right?
I was using Lynx (which is a IB reseller) because of options. Is Degiro a good alternative if my focus is options?
I don't understand it either. Buying european is important, but we should stop recommending weird unknown messaging apps. Signal, although US made, had multiple audits, is open source, vetted and secure. Just because a product is from europe we shouldn't recommend it. Especially if it gives a false sense of security and privacy.
Like the Apache 2.0 license. Keep on improving Mistral! Hope they also improve their best performing model, because its still lacking behind Claude and ChatGPT (still good enough to cancel ChatGPT and switch to Le chat).
I've had a great experience with Keebart. Assembled in Germany (AFAIK), but the parts are probably not from Europe.
To answer your question: It is boosting my output, not my productivity. I feel like I am always following the same pattern. At first, when I take on a complex project, it's challenging and forcing me to do a lot of research and upfront work. At this stage I enjoy doing the manual programming part. But after getting the initial implementation productive, and starting to do maintenance and implementing feature requests, I loath doing manual coding. And this issue became worse with the introduction of LLMs. I think you might have a point - I need to seek more challenging work, I don't want to become one of those sensiors because of tenure - you're points are valid.
Agree, vibe coding kills the magic. I also can't achieve a flow while doing it. But somehow I'm already too much dependent on it, so I lost the ability to get in a manual coding flow.
I'm thinking about ditching all those tools altogether and going back to neovim with a simple LSP, without any auto complete and AI tooling. But I'm scared of getting too frustrated and jumping right back into the AI tools.
