I've been in elixir for nigh a decade now and the one thing that you can try to pry from my cold dead hands is the BEAM. Elixir and Gleam are my go to languages right now and damn are they fun to write and reason in, but the part that

At least for me, I pirate music, but I make an effort to contribute directly to the bottom line for artists. This is best done by buying overpriced merch at shows or donating directly if possible.

Have you tried reaching out to people who have installed your app and asking what they did and why they did it?

Why does the JavaScript ecosystem pride itself in not having a framework? That’s the very thing that drove me out of the ecosystem. JavaScript was my first professional language of focus and I was in love with the growth oriented mentality

I came here thinking that there would be more comments discussing this. This seems like the wrong direction to go for fixing the comfort problem. Tilting your wrists down like that is not proper typing posture.

Thanks for the rundown. I just started using cmux and the pane behavior you’re describing is my biggest gripe. I’ll check this out.

That's not the only reason I was using the tooling at the time. Specifically everything else regarding the JetBrains ecosystem kept me hooked, but when I was looking to replace what I liked in JetBrains with other tooling the last piec

Remember this type of comment. Never let yourself fall into this type of thinking when trying to understand what your users want. Instead of passing judgement on why someone values something, why not ask? For example, if you were to ask me

What’s stopping you from using it in the terminal view of VSCode? Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your comment so please forgive me if I am. Maybe you’re saying that you wish VSCose itself was a TUI?

The commit workflow was what kept me locked in to the ecosystem for so long. LazyGit was so good that it convinced me I didn’t need JetBrains anymore. If you love the workflow with JB for commits check out LazyGit. It’s a TUI so you can use

I’ve been a JetBrains toolbox subscriber for over a decade. I used to run trainings for new hires to get them up to speed on the eco system as our team would provide licenses. I say all of this because I was about as fanboy as you could get

Hey OP I’m building a bookclub app. Do you happen to have an api I could plug into? I’d love to add this to our member suggestions section.

First I’d like to state that if you look at my post history I’ve been here far before the bleed in from Reddit. Your whole response is pretty cynical and leads in the negative direction so I don’t know how you would want to have a positive

I mean the grandparent poster isn’t wrong. This whole system is stacked against us. It’s difficult to keep moving knowing that we don’t have the ability to opt out of the way our whole society works. This is a very broad discussion that I k

I’m currently building something like this. It comes at the problem from a different angle though. The app uses the book to aid discussions for the current reading sections. Fun to see this idea is getting a little traction.

Thanks for your recommendation. I ended up not putting it down because of this comment. :)

I will say that it’s nice that you need explicit imports in Gleam. Elixir does not require this and a lot of code in our codebase suffers from unspecified imports which can be difficult to follow.

It doesn’t right now, but it will. Jose and company have been working on a gradual type system. Elixir 1.17 recently released the first typing features.

I watched it. Thank you for the recommendation. Sounds absolutely fascinating. I just started the second Hyperion book, but I might have to put it down to prioritize this. It does seem like somewhat of an investment though; as if reading it

This is hilarious. I bought the book after watching Blade Runner 2049. There's a scene where some of book was being recited as part of the protagonist's anti-empathy test and I figured it had to have a deeper importance to the wri

On the other hand, I'm listening to a new album at least three times a week. Using tools like last.fm and some private trackers helps to keep things fresh. Never give up on finding that next tune!

I’ve been craving some Physics courses since it’s been about a decade since I was in school. I picked up a Classical Mechanics book to get back into the swing of things and of course it went through some basic linear algebra. It’s been a wh
