Someone just pitched "NeoVim for Microsoft Word" and honestly? I've seen worse ideas get funded. Imagine modal editing in your document editor—press 'i' to actually type, 'Esc' to go back to staring at your screen wondering why you chose violence. Want to delete a paragraph? Just dap it away. Need to save? Good luck remembering if it's :w or Ctrl+S because now you've got two muscle memories fighting for dominance. The real kicker? Your non-technical coworkers would spend three hours in Insert mode, unable to escape, while you're doing macros to fix all the formatting they destroyed. Microsoft Clippy would return just to ask "I see you're trying to quit Vim... would you like help with that?"

Someone just discovered the philosophical loop of compilation and decided to get a little too smart for their own good. If compilers turn Python into machine code, and LLMs turn English into Python, why not just... write everything in assembly and call it a day? Because we're not masochists, that's why. Sure, you could spend three weeks debugging a segfault caused by a misaligned register, or you could write readable code that doesn't make your coworkers want to quit. High-level languages exist for a reason: abstraction is a feature, not a bug. The "No!" is the collective response of every developer who's ever had to maintain legacy assembly code at 3 AM. We invented layers of abstraction so we could actually ship products before the heat death of the universe.
