  • What is the application and did you notice similar behavior outside of it, e.g. being able to paste the currently selected text? I would also check your clipboard manager’s configuration. Clipboards (usually) have a clipboard buffer (for CTRL + C -> CTRL + V) and a primary buffer (for selected text -> mouse middle button paste). Some problems arise from the confusing default settings of some clipboard managers, e.g. the synchronization of both buffers.



  • I believe for simple, common tasks and small projects, it’s at least manageable. Even good, if you are not forced to use AI and can simply choose to what extent you use the tools and its results.

    But with enterprise-level coding agents that are supposed to handle issues in long-term projects, the work is shifted to every other phase really, before and after the coding. Initially I thought that proper documentation at least benefits everybody, but prompts and instructions optimized for AI are not necessarily good documentation for humans to read.












  • I switched to Linux, because my very first confrontation to buy a Windows license myself weirded me out. It was quite casual. My exposure to Linux came from a few software development related videos. The workflows I saw looked much more efficient and fulfilling. To be honest, with a dying laptop running on Windows 8.1 I had an extra terrible experience anyway. So when I built my PC and I realized that legally purchasing a Windows license looked like browsing the black market, I decided to save my money and just try Ubuntu. I definitely had the luxury of being able to simply dive in.
