> No country is corruption free but the difference between Europe and Mexico is shocking.

I would say that lack of petty corruption doesn't exclude big scale corruption which is very much alive in Europe.
Backdealing, lobbying, money laundering. I don't rememeber Mexican banks laundering hundreds of bilions etc. Mexican car manufactures cheating for years on car emissions.
These things are reserved for European countries from top of most transparent countries list (Hello Denmark, Hello Germany).. We just keep forgetting. And we are conditioned by propaganda to look down on other cultures.
Stoping petty officers from accepting bribes is just European establishment's way of "Don't steal - your goverment hates competition".
> Backdealing, lobbying, money laundering. I don't rememeber Mexican banks laundering hundreds of bilions etc. Mexican car manufactures cheating for years on car emissions.
EU politicians caught backdealing are being prosecuted. Bank money laundering wasn't done by the government's banks. Car emissions cheating also wasn't the government.
You can also configure Supermaven or Copilot for Zed and whatever LLM model you prefer for Zed's Assistant and Inline Assistant. But Aider makes these tools a bit irrelevant.

The point of Golang is Google’s answer to rapidly declining quality of its search results. Golang is the first and only language where faced with problems I would rather read source code of library then frantically search for solutions in Google…

My friend and I we are fixing old bikes for fun. And often the only way to figure out how to do certain things is watching YouTube videos about fixing bikes. And bikes are rather simple devices.
I guess NASA had lost all YouTube videos about how to assemble Moon rocket.
800 billion euro per year and that on top of other needs like green initiatives. How are they going to finance such investments? EU banks don’t have capital and foreign borrowers will ask steep rates which will impact European borrowing costs and extinguish economic activity even more.
The simple truth is Europe cannot afford such programs.
Well, half joking here.. there probably will be a new green initiative to decarbonise IT. New tax money will pay for a new IT hub in Germany or France, where companies will stay for as long as EU pays their rent and gives tax incentives. After that, they will move out.
"First,
integrating Europe's capital markets to better channel high household savings towards productive investments in
the EU will be essential. Second, the more willing the EU is to reform itself to generate an increase in productivity,
the easier it will be for the public sector to support the investment drive."
Ahuh.. so they are going to force "investment" from european households.. Read into that what you will..
Also talking about decarbonisation and militarization in the same breath.. just utter opposite ends of the spectrum.
The EU is schizophrenic at the best of times.. but this is absurdum ad nauseum
