In theory it should give the LLM better tools to explore and edit the code. So instead of working with the code as text, it's a tree of stuff it can read and edit.
I don't know how much it works in practice though.
No. Rich people zoom in to work and take a stroll to the market on Saturday morning, and they enjoy tapas a the quaint Bistro on the bank of the seine.
I don’t know how you’re defining “rich” but the wealthiest folks I know all go to work physically. They get in their cars, or in one case on their bike, and commute to work like everyone else.
Concentrating on the very wealthiest is perhaps unhelpful, as there are very few of them, so they’re kinda irrelevant for planning purposes. Most well-off people I know commute to work on the train or bus; the city center offices where well-off people tend to work in Dublin are not generally exactly well-provided with parking, if they have it at all, and the traffic is pretty horrible. The office of the tech multinational I work in has 700 people, and capacity for more, and, I think, about 30 parking spaces.
Being on the DART (a not-quite-metro; trains carrying a thousand people every ten minutes per direction) or Luas (a high-capacity tram system) lines tends to lead to homes being considerably more expensive than those which only have bus access.
Dublin used to have a synthetic ‘posh’ accent that was often referred to as DART-speak, because it was common in the upper-middle-class suburbs along the southern section of the DART line. Public transport can be posh, or at least seen as such.
The wealthiest people I know are philanthropist that spend their day on zoon meetings to decide who get the grant.
A couple of time a week someone arrange a visit for them to check on "things are going" on the trenches.
They also spend a lot of time on the phone strategizing with other folks like them.

But that's not a contest!I'm sure your rich people are richer than my rich people.

If we were looking at a formal definition, my naive approach would be to use the median income, add the revenue of assets, and add a 20% to that ?
I'm sure the field of sociology could help be more formal here.

Here I was talking specifically about French folks, where access to remote work and living in the inner city are strongly correlated with higher income.
There's a reason gilets jaunes tended to be what are derisively called "plebs".
I honestly find it extremely interesting how both France and the US have similar fault lines due to the intersection of economic, social, and political culture wars, and an extremely similar manner of consolidated media ownership.
What Paris does politically speaking matters less than what Marseille, Nice, and Toulon does - everyone overindexes on the 20% at the expense of the other 80%. This is what brought Trump to office in 2016, and I see similar mistakes being made across Western Europe as well.

People also underestimate the number of mega-commuters in France, and how depending on the distance commuting via Intercités+TGV and a car becomes a wash.
Some people will derisively say "let's make owning a car more expensive to make them change", but that's similar to Marie Antoinette's retort "S'ils n'ont pas de pain? Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!", especially given how severe spatial inequality is in France.
As a resident of this city. The clean air is one thing.
EV could give us that and offset the pollution where the batteries are made and recycle.
But the main gain, as someone paying taxes there: is the reclaim of public space for human to enjoy.
Its a cliché to say that Paris is pretty and its so much more enjoyable on a stroll along the bank of the seine that on a freeway at 20 miles/h. ( that freeway was permajamed )
Yeah well. That's what we've been doing to other industries over and over.
I remember a cinema theater projectionist telling me exactly that while I was wiring a software controlling numeric projector, replacing the 35mm ones.
