Fruit, vegetables, whole grains, exercise, some sunlight, some socialisation, an easy creative hobby.

You're right, it is easier to list those things.

Not according to latest studies, there is no safe level of processed meat consumption.

Cold cuts are often processed, rather than delivered raw.

Secondary News Article: https://www.sciencealert.com/massive-review-finds-no-safe-level-of-processed-meat-consumption

Original Study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-03775-8

consuming processed meat (at 0.6–57 g d−1) was associated with at least an 11% average increase in type 2 diabetes risk and a 7% (at 0.78–55 g d−1) increase in colorectal cancer risk.

So eating a gram of processed meat per day would significantly increase chances of type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer.

1 gram ≃ 0.03 ounces (British imperial units)

Maybe they didn’t know.

The vast majority of coding isn’t making something new, it’s using existing patterns and tools and arranging them to fit a specific use case.

I would argue that arranging something to fit a specific use case is making something new.

Ask any designer how difficult it is to get a spec sheet from a client and meet their expectations. We're expecting LLMs to suddenly solve this problem.

Llms may not be able to create a new framework or design pattern

Until they can do this, there is little threat to designers. There will be less grunt work, of course.

The sad reality is that code is just a form of language, and LLMs are good at learning languages.

This is debatable. LLMs are prediction machines.

What use is prediction when you are trying to code something new?

What’s not cool is shitting on a movie just because you didn’t like it or it didn’t make sense to you.

If you don't like or don't get a work of art, it is entirely reasonable to shit on it.
