Developer practices are very much influencing my writing. I tend to use
> foo
rather than "foo", even in non technical contexts.

I'm pretty impressed with Cursor: I've successfully asked it to perform codebase transforms in English, and it's worked!
E.g. "Replace all calls foo(..., true) with foo_immediate(...) define a foo_immediate function".
I'm still reading the diff and checking tests -- it's still AI after all.
TIL Rust has an ambiguity `if Foo {}` -- is `Foo` a value of type bool, or a struct?
Rust solves this by defining a grammar production 'any expression except struct literals' and using it in this position. https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/0092-struct-grammar.html
I'm never sure what to name my remotes in git. I tend to use 'mine' so I can add other forks later, but sometimes I use 'gh' or the traditional 'origin'.
What do others use?
