Yup! YAML is defined as a “strict superset” of JSON (or at least, it was the last time I checked).

It’s a lot like markdown and HTML; when you want to write something deeply structured and somewhat complex you can always drop back/down to the format with explicit closing delimiters and it just works™.

Quinces are not that edible when raw. Best cooked as veg alongside meat, or jellied into gummies, in my experience.

Now you’re thinking with portals primes!

From what I’ve heard, Mein Kampf is similarly drivel. Don’t know if that’s comforting or even more depressing…

So which is it? Are developers 55% more productive, or are they losing 20% of their time to inefficiencies and burning out at record rates?

The answer: executives are measuring—and reporting—what makes their stock price rise, not what’s actually happening on the ground.

Or if you want to get slightly more conspiratorial: the execs are all buying shares in OpenAI, Nvidia, and the like - so now they’re more interested in ordering people to use LLM tools so that these stocks rise in price, even if it means sabotaging their own company.
