Trump was shot a year and a half ago, Kirk was shot a few months ago. Those high profile cases of leftist violence are just the tip of the iceberg. Antifa is a real impediment for right wing politics in the US. The professional activists are not going to stop. These are the same people who rioted in 2020. Getting rid of them is a strategic victory and the price is a news story that will live for a new cycle.
The most strategic thing Trump could do would be to get the ring leaders locked up. There are plenty of narcotics related charges that could be used on antifa types. Rioting creates opportunities to arrest people, to search their houses and find things.

The code we get from claude is often cleaner than the human written code. The secret is a highly detailed claude.md file, having a code base which is hyper standardized from the beginning with standards for function naming, variable names, types etc and having a code base that is somewhat repetitive. Never let claude build entire features in one go, make it build things one step at a time and manually fix things if it isn't up to the pedantic style. Once the code starts decaying the decay accelerates. If the rot isn't allowed to set in, the rot can not spread.
Claude breaks down when features get more complex, when there are edge cases and when the business requirements are complex. The speed up varies greatly depending on the task.
There will be a noticeable difference between teams that have the discipline and skill to police claude and those who let claude loose. This simple culture difference will make and break companies going forward.
Another take is that TypeScript will become more popular as LLMs keep pushing it. Java and Csharp will become more popular in the startup scene as their main drawback is being verbose and generating a large amount of text is what LLMs excel at. The productivity gap between Csharp and python has been reduced with LLMs.

Sweden and Norway were united in the 1800s after Sweden took it from the Danes during the Napoleonic wars. Norway was far poorer and far less developed than Sweden and Sweden effectively had to give affirmative action to Norwegians as well as subsidize Norway. When something important and official happened in Sweden Norway had to get a cut. If big prizes were handed out in Stockholm some prize needed to be handed out in Norway.
Most of the rioters but who got it started? There are some people who get it going, a handful of people doing the outrageous acts and then a larger number of people who just stand in the crowd. The pure criminal element shows up when the rioting has already started.
A sizeable portion of the casuals won't participate in rioting if the consequences are too high.
