I've really struggled with using the extensions - their UI/UX is worse, they're much more limited in what they can do and they're much more unstable (in IntelliJ at least).
Then again writing mostly kotlin I cannot get along with the VS Code forks as they're just not that great outside of typescript projects in my experience.
I tend to prompt in cursor/windsurf and refactor in IntelliJ which is okay but a bit of a pain.
I like the mention of being able to work from your local branch. It may help keep more branches open if they're doubling up as workspaces for the "office" staff
I'm on the "Agile Octopus" tariff in the UK and this is broadly how it works - the next days prices are available around 4pm the day before, giving you time to plan. There is also a cap of 35p/kWh (the standard fixed rate tariff is 15p/kWh for comparison) which limits the downside risk somewhat. In peak hours during the winter it regularly hits the cap. Bit of a halfway house between pure time of use and fixed tariffs.
This is actually more likely the other way around. The perfections submitted, along with ranking for each class, were compiled and submitted for the purpose of awarding grades. They were always known to be a replacement for the exams.
Mocks on the other hand are graded with a view to provide the desired psychological effect (i.e. either as a boost or a kick up the rear). So mock results may well be less fair. This is coming from my partner who is a secondary school teacher.
