Technically Office Open XML is not proprietary, since they published and standardized it under ISO/IEC 29500. Practically no software suite besides MS Office is able to render it 100% compatible to each other. But to be fair, neither did OpenDocument; a document in LibreOffice odt looks slightly different in OnlyOffice, WPS, SoftMaker, etc.

In Germany it did.

I am not convinced yet of letting agents completely unattended. Watching them work makes review easier for me. If I let the agent just produce some result it needed half an hour (or more) for, it’s very likely so convoluted that I can at best skim over it and then go „yeah yeah ok, it’s probably fine <merge>“.

I watched two colleagues this week and both had Opus 4.8 1M max thinking. No matter which task. It’s also slow as fuck. I work almost all day with GPT-5.4 low thinking and get good results… but faster and cheaper.

I guess good model selection and promoting will be what sets devs apart in the near future. Once that bubble bursts a bit more and prices increase further that will be an interesting reckoning. Also for companies who basically taunted their employees into tokenmaxxing.

I‘ll buy and play it on day 1…. for PC. Until then it doesn’t exist for me.
