git-worktree has been a thing for a decade+ and AI agents seem to be using them just fine in my experience. This is a solved problem.

We are getting old, are having few if any children, yet our social contract is built on a series of Ponzi schemes that become unmaintainable under such circumstances. The temporary band-aid fix of mass migration is seemingly bringing many o

Weeelll, it's a duopoly, and consumers rarely get details about the aircraft prior to booking their tickets. So we have at best an indirect say in what planes get acquired and used by the airline. Booking sites like Kayak let you filte
