I think it just shows how much noise there is in coding. Code gets reviewed anyways (although review quality was going down rapidly the more PMs where added to the team)
Most of the code must be what could be snippets (opening files and handling errors with absl::, and moving data from proto to proto).
One thing that doesn't help here, is that when writing for many engineers on different teams to read, spelling out simple code instead of depending on too many abstractions seems to be preferred by most teams.
I guess that LLMs do provide smarter snippets that I don't need to fill out in detail, and when it understands types and whether things compile it gets quite good and "smart" when it comes to write down boilerplate.
I remain an EV skeptic because of the flammable electrolyte in Li batteries. They did a good job of protecting the battery pack and managing possible thermal runaway. But reading some EV crash news, I noticed one aspect of EV fire is particularly frightening: the speed of the fire and thoroughness of the fire burning. If the crash is severe enough to cause fire, it's usually within 1 or 2 minutes before the fire reaches the driver seat and then it'll burn it down to skeleton and the firefighters can only stand by and wait for it to burn out.
There is a whole industry recycling used electronics, PCs,laptops,cellphones, tablets, printers...you name it. In fact, Apple started their own iPhone trade in program a couple of years ago seeing a lot of $$$
