Is the versys 650 capable for steep cobblestone streets?

I am thinking of getting a versys 650 but I am worried if that bike would not be able to handle those kind of terrains well with a pillion and luggage, since a lot of places I have visited in Mexico have very inclined cobblestone kind of streets, then add rain to those places and it is sketchy. I am in a g310gs and it handle well those, although it definitely needs more power and torque.
Much of my concern comes from AI chats that discouraged me from the versys, mainly saying the chasis design and the front tire size are bad for it, and it says the f800gs 2026, tiger 900gt and even the vstrom 650xt are better for my purposes, but for reliability reasons, cheap maintenance long term and aesthetics I just want the versys 650.

Do you have any experiences with this bike on those terrains? what are your thoughts?

Is the software developer position already dead?

I work for one of the Big Four accounting firms and they are already changing everything so that we use 90% IA and 10% manual coding, but they are looking for reducing that to the minimum. The CEO said that those who do not fully embrace AI will be fired. My boss already told me that our job titles have changed to reflect those changes, we are no longer software engineers but product engineers, which is almost saying we are prompt engineers.

Is this trend all over the software industry already? I did not sign up for this but because I loved coding, now it is so boring and tiring using only AI, and they put more pressure on us since they expect 100% productivity increases from us, since they reduced the developer times, they expect us to develop more features and faster now.

I really hate using Cursor to do everything for me, I use it basically as a more powerful google search engine. I am thinking of resigning from my job and look elsewhere, since I do not like that they threaten to fire us and then force a heavy use of AI on us, but if things are the same everywhere that will not do.
I thought using AI at jobs with licensing costs were not sustainable for companies, but at least in some it is heavily used.

Any recommendations? What have you been your experiences with AI if you do not like to abuse it at work?

Rage fit in ranking matches

I have had both, getting mad after losing after a long losing streak and end up writing rude things to my opponent, yeah I know, I learn more from my losing games and makes me get better, that is something I am working on, to not take it personally. And I also have had people say rude things to me when I win to them some times.

Usually I get mad when I feel I am winning hard, but suddenly my opponent turns things around with unexpected strategies in a long match, that got me mad last time and ended up saying bad things to my opponent, and I felt bad after it, this was after losing 3 times in a row. I could have won but I was so fixated on destroying his second TC, then his base, and I did destroy them, but he started sending myth units little by little to my base from a corner of the map and that ruined my economy, and my army was so far away, he then advanced to mythic and his god power destroyed my main military base, I was so mad and annoyed that I gave up, lol, I still had a chance I believe. I learnt a good deal from it tbh, thus, my opponent helped me out realize that.

Getting mad after losing is bad.

Tell me, have you had this experience in ranked matches and what happened in the game that got you mad?

Opinion about Nuwa, worst performing gods of them all

Nuwa has been underperforming all year long, it is the god with the lowest played games and also the lowest win rates of them all. It sure needs some buffs that allow it to fight also classical battles.

Fuxi has economic and military god blessing bonus (Ying-Yang) and also a good economic god power (Peach Blossom), it also has the greek-like strong Nezha hero available in classical age, and it also has two other techs that increase its heroes' strength even more!
Shennong has a good economic advantage with their power farms, which is very recastable, and his free myth units and stronger heroes, thanks to Peach of Inmortality tech, which help it fight classical wars.
Meanwhile Nuwa creation god power is very expensive to recast, creator auspice god blessing goes against the increasing favor land dynamics, the hero kuafu is awesome but it is not a military unit to help you out deal with classical wars, the Mountainous Might tech is great for Kuafus but it is micro intensive and more of a defensive tech, thus, Nuwa is 100% leaned towards booming, maybe that is why it is so unpopular and with very low win rates.

I believe Creator Auspice should work anywhere as long as a building is expanding or touching favor land, Creation should be a bit cheaper and Mountainous Might tech should also increase damage of infantry a bit, imo all those little changes would make Nuwa more enjoyable and playable in classical fights.

What are your takes on this god and how to make it more popular with better win rates?

Tezcatlipoca needs new unique God benefits based on his mythological nature

As the title says since the mythology around him is about Tezcatlipoca being a god of war and in that sense they only gave him myth units benefits with the obsidian shrad, the rest of them being traps, which are rarely used and not worth it for the expense and tower building speed and increased attack, and the major favor for devoting vills, which damage your eco at early stages.

I went to the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City and Tezcatlipoca was one of the gods who revealed their bellicose nature, and he was considered the most important of all the patrons of wars, he was the GOD OF WARRIORS, and also the obsidian was the raw material of his world.

From all of that they seem they did a lousy job on his design based on a poor research, there is no god benefits to warriors (except the weak one on ocelots and jaguar riders, where this last one is only available in mythic age!) or related to obsidian.

What do you think in general about Tezcatlipoca in ranked games?
