You can’t spare 8 meg? I have games that want 8 gig
You operate better in Emacs if you touch type, but you should learn to touch type if you work in an editor a lot

Some commercial, science, and industrial machines require specific versions of windows, which this can imitate. Old MS Windows is of our development and very vulnerable it allowed on the internet. My giant organisation had until recently a 16 bit PC because it carried an ISA card that formatted a particular letter.

I feel that as a system analyst I’m pretty well placed to vibe code, as my day job is explaining business requirements in precise enough language that programmers can implement the changes
