The biggest issue with Copilot might not be the model itself, but the naming strategy. One name is used for several completely different products, and users end up totally confused. You think you're using GitHub Copilot, but it's actually M365 Copilot, and you don't even get to choose the model. Microsoft really needs to make this clearer.

I used to think Basic Economy was just airlines making things uncomfortable on purpose. Then I realized it’s really about separating customers based on how much they’re willing to pay. They’re raising revenue without changing the base price. You see this more and more now. The default option keeps getting worse, not to cut costs but to make upgrades feel worth it. I’m not sure if people will just get used to it or eventually start pushing back.

We talk a lot about AI’s potential, but its energy footprint is often underestimated. As model sizes grow, the environmental impact of both training and inference may show up faster than expected. It's an issue worth more attention.

AI tools are great for speeding up small tasks, but when it comes to debugging, refactoring, or designing anything more complex, manual coding is still essential. Especially when things break, if you do not understand the underlying logic, you cannot really fix it properly.

AI is becoming a helpful assistant, but it is still far from replacing real engineering skill.

I’ve noticed my reading habits changing too. I used to read a lot of literary fiction in my twenties, but now I mostly go for nonfiction or short-form stuff. It’s not that I think fiction is less important, it just feels harder to make space for slow, quiet stories that don’t offer an immediate payoff.

Maybe it’s not just a cultural decline, but a deeper shift in how we deal with time, attention, and meaning.
