"It's true that making it more difficult to target ads, would affect the revenue of companies like Facebook.

But the much bigger cost of such a move, would be the reduced effectiveness of the ads and opportunities for small businesses to grow. This would reduce opportunities for small business so much, that it would probably be felt at a macro-economic level.

Now is that really what policy makers want, in the middle of a pandemic and recession?

The right path, I believe, is regulation that keeps people's data safe, while allowing the benefits of this kind of personalised and relevant advertising."

I've been at my job for about 1.5 years, and I don't actually use an IDE. Basically I have tmux with one vim window and 1-3 terminal windows. Whenever I want to see the results of a change, I'll just switch to a terminal and either reload in a repl, recompile, or rerun tests. For things like linters and autoformatters I just manually run those things too. If I want to find a definition I'll just do some ripgrepping, or search google/github if it's in non-internal libraries. If I find myself jumping way too much I'll generate a tags file.

Am I leaving a ton of productivity on the table? Most of my coworkers use something like vscode, or at least hook an lsp server onto their terminal editor. On the other hand, I don't feel significantly less productive, and a small handful of coworkers seem to do the same thing. In fact, it feels kind of liberating not having to think about a bunch of tools; when diving into a new part of the codebase I can just start grepping away. I also feel that not having an IDE forces me to build a detailed mental map of the codebase.

For reference, I'm 23 years old, mostly working in C++, Python, and Haskell, and a touch of JS. I imagine I couldn't do this for everything, particularly platforms highly integrated with a specific tool like mobile dev, unity, or fpga.
