OK, I have implemented this; expect to see it as version 1.0 tomorrow when it gets approved. You'll be able to use the vertical scroll wheel to scroll horizontally.

Good feedback, thanks! I'll see if I can fix that today. For now, you can press the left and right arrow keys or shift-left and shift-right to jump by column.

This. The ampersand method in the OP video (and the sibling slipped-lapp-knot comment) is needlessly complicated. Just follow this super simple animation instead (except pass a bight in the last step to make it quick-release). The Lapp knot

Oh yeah, not to mention the drag and drop GUI mercurial client in the IDE. I still haven’t seen anything as good on the outside. Regular engineers could use stacked diffs proficiently and regularly, without it being seen as a super advanced

I jumped from Google to Facebook on 2019 and while I had thought Google had best in industry developer tooling, Facebook had it better. Google’s dinky browser based Cider was cute but Facebook in its transition from Atom to VS Code was far

The specs are inscrutable agent slop. I want it to tell me what it does and instead it just lists database fields. It mentions a state machine and then proceeds to not describe the state machine. If I wasn’t so attuned to agent slop, I’d

The root cause is that the TUI is just not the right surface an agentic coding tool. If it were a GUI with mouse support and other rich affordances, it'd be trivial to click to expand

I think the first message consumes disproportionately much percentage because it's not cached and includes the system prompt, tools, etc.

If anyone sees this, I tried it and unfortunately am not getting better results on the pelican-on-bicycle test. I think the vision models just aren't good enough yet (I tried Claude and Gemini) I can share the code if there's inte

Free idea: turn this into an MCP server. Give the agent the ability to virtually "hover" a path and see which part of the final render it corresponds to

I made a /split-commit prompt that automatically splits a megacommit into smaller commits. I've found this massively helpful for making more reviewable commits. You can either run this yourself or send this to your coworker to hav

Idea: a general tool that helps you write command lines. It reads the help or man page and generates a GUI or TUI to present all the options in a logical way. You just fill out the form and it does the thing

In what way did the computer compress time? It completed it in 5 hours and I'm pretty sure they didn't invent a time machine

I actually think this is antithetical to the philosophy. Cyclometic complexity is very much not the same as "is this code difficult to understand". Arbitrary structure rules like "do_thing_a(); do_thing_b(); do_thing_c();&q

This was my main takeaway from A Philosophy Of Software Design by John Ousterhout. It is the best book on this subject and I recommend it to every software developer. Basically, you should aim to minimise complexity in software design, but

The closest we got to vibe coding pre-LLMs was using a language with a very good strong type system in a good IDE and hitting Ctrl-Space to autocomplete your way to a working program. I wonder if LLMs can use the type information more like

I tried it for a bit and went back to git-branchless ( https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless ). git-branchless is just a better set of tools for working on a git repo so local tools like the JetBrains git integration

But how do you split commits? Command line tools for splitting commits suck because they force you to look at one hunk at a time without getting the context from the rest of the change.

That's a compelling three file format. Have you considered a fourth file for Implemented such that Spec = Implemented + Design? It would serve both as a check that nothing is missing from Design, and can also be an index for where to f

The article doesn't say how they got that levellized cost figure. How much do they think 17kWh of battery costs? From my research, a home battery costs, per kWh, about 8x an electric car battery and I don't know why.

What happened to wafer inference hardware like Cerebras? Why isn't Claude being served from that if it's so much faster and energy efficient?
