I find it irritating with humans. "last but not the least" always distracts me as I then consider maybe the last item _is_ the least. & what is with everyone saying they want to "double click" into meeting items

Yes. & in the end my experience has been that you can write low latency code with gc, but only by expending more effort than it'd take to use manual memory management

Fable's spatial reasoning is much better. Over the weekend I had opus looking into a blank textbox issue[1] which it was spinning on for a few minutes, switching to fable immediately fixed But yeah opus often the better workhorse given
