A whole list? That sounds like it would take somewhere between 3 seconds and 6 hours. Who has that kind of time?

The most important aspect is motivation to improve and do cool shit. That can, also, be said about a lot of professions. The best thing you can do is to find what is most interesting to you and spend at least a few hours a week learning about it or engaging with it. It could be new features of a language you know, a programming methodology that is new to you, learning about/contributing to a FOSS project you like, or anything else.

School and work will almost definitely force you to engage with the parts of development you don't like, as well will give you an opportunity to engage with the parts of development you do like. It's on you to keep yourself engaged and improving in your skills.

I think part of the issue is that it does act more like a search engine crawler than a traditional user. A lot of sites rely on real human traffic for revenue (serving ads, requests to sign up for Patreon, using affiliate links, etc) that gets bypassed by these bots. Hell in some cases the people running the sites are just looking for interaction. So while there is a spike in traffic, and potentially cost, the people running these sites aren't getting the benefit of that traffic.

Basically these have the same issues as the summaries that Google does in their search results but, potentially, have much larger impact on the host's bandwidth

It's already here. I know someone who drank the Flavor-Aid and within the past year he's starting using the T-slur and blamed Somalis when I offhandedly asked why traffic was so bad in a certain part of town (while there is a high Somali population here, the traffic problem is 100% poor city planning).

So fucking weird hearing that come out of the mouth of the Commie artist I used to go to punk shows with.

Honestly, most people will use those words interchangeably. So if you're talking to someone, just understand that, to that person, they likely mean the same thing.

Hey they have like 5 games that you can play once a day. Those are kinda fun.

Can we start calling them Adobe Lovers?

Awesome thanks for the info on that.

I've had the opposite happen since switching to Windows 11. Multiple BSODs a week on both machines. Super frustrating.

Nothing wrong with examining potential issues for emerging technology before they become actual issues.

I don't really like associating these people with the concepts presented in the Bible. Their understanding of Jesus, to me, feels about on par with a Republican political candidate's understanding of Rage Against The Machine.

That or he's slowing down mentally and it just took more time for him to get there.
