And this highlights my frustration. I don’t want to have this debate. The tool should allow its operator to set whatever level of strictness or purity they want for their project. Fossil already offers a million settings. Add another and

Though I just vented in another comment about fossil, I'll admit that all of my experience was in the pre-agentic era. Since an agent won't be as easily annoyed (heck, it happily belts out sqlite's tedious schema alternation

Fossil is extremely frustrating to me. There are so many parts that I'm drawn to, but then are there showstoppers that prevent real adoption (by me). I've used it in earnest a number of times. Their immutability stance is at the r

For me, I know backend development really well, and HTML/CSS passably. HTMX has been much lower friction for me than learning JS frameworks, which tbh I didn't really enjoy, and they were constantly changing. But now, I had mostly

I don’t feel like the learning curve has shifted dramatically for mainstream development. Besides generics—which tend to not show up that often in app code even now—I can’t think of any substantial language change since I Iearned it in 2014

Use 'e' in -p mode and you can edit the hunks as you wish, choose lines, etc.

I've lapsed my subscription because it has, in my opinion, gotten a bit too clickbait-y and many of the articles are sort of thin rehashes of already covered material. It is still better than most, but also fairly pricy.

Swag looks interesting and I'm definitely gonna give it a try!

Tone/style bit aside, a real problem is length. Scroll waaay down and look at most older updates and see how brief and too-the-point they were. Often they look rushed, some essential links, and that’s it. Fine by me! That’s the real st

I never did get used to the Chezmoi workflow. `chezmoi edit` never became muscle memory, and I was constant finding myself resolving diffs and what not.

40+ year glasses wearer here who learned this perhaps only 10 years ago, I think this is the correct way. The one annoying part is the difference that the glass coating makes. The water just falls off some of my glasses with barely as much

I want to see the breakdown of fascist vs. non-fascist VCs, too!

Seeing my own kids (teens) go through some of this, I'm becoming slightly less pessimistic as it all shakes out. Among their peer groups there does seem to be an opinion forming that sure, anyone can just ask ChatGPT for quick answer

And then the client asks for SAML & OIDC support, and codes via SMS, and god knows what else.

Can definitely relate. It is no more complicated than I really enjoyed designing and writing code by hand, and get very little joy out of agentic processes. I use the tools and see the velocity increase, but it has just become… bland work.

Impossible to tell! Even when I have established patterns, I do take alternatives for a spin… usually a solid week to give them a chance. Most times I’m just reaffirming that I like what I’ve got, but I do occasionally discover features tha

It’s funny… my initial reaction to your comment was that it’s a bit persnickety to expect that. However, I’m coming around to agreeing. I recently spent a non-trivial amount of time responding to a PR into one of my projects. I did have a s

Here's my optimistic take: the fundamental things that spark joy about learning a novel algorithm, pattern, technique, etc. haven't gone anywhere, and there's no reason to think those things won't continue to be interest

I doubt it. But I keep my own encrypted backup anyway (as I did with 1P, too), so realistically only the most recently added/updated passwords are at risk.

You can export from their app very easily.

It's a programming language that some people like, and or would like to see become more mainstream? I think any presumption about what "we all know" will earn you downvotes.

I think a core reason (besides not knowing jj exists), is the framing that there is a choice that has to be made, or a switch that has to occur. It is, instead, additive. I have Sublime Merge (GUI git client) and jj both looking at my git r

Could you explain what you mean by multi-tab support? I use Ghostty daily with multiple tabs.

JSONB can have constraints. I think with an extension you can do full JSON Schema validation, too.

I’m completely not in this space but your comment had me wondering: are there digital cube faces? That is, a real physical cube but with faces that can instantly be set to a given color?

Same. I also had one when the school mail-order book fair offered a diary with a padlock on it. I wasn't even into writing, but I thought a locking book was so cool. 8 weeks later it shows up and turns out to be just a regular hardcove
