I've been working on this with Seb and it's crazy how many bugs we flushed out. He didn't mention in the article but we were also super inspired by the Tigerbeetle team's writing on deterministic simulation testing.

I'd really like my cursor to kind of glow but my graphics programming skills are not at that level yet. For editing, a block has more potential than a vertical bar because you always have context of a selected character to perform oper

I actually used this pattern as well and I really like it. I store another property called `mark_idx`. When `cursor_idx` and `mark_idx` are the same then it's just a cursor. When they differ, the range between them is the selection.

Implicit in this article is the idea that security posturing is a zero-sum game for many companies on the dimensions of both software complexity and time. Adding full disk encryption takes time from other projects and makes the system more

Yeah there are a lot of definitions out there that are along these lines and they do hollow out my argument. But why call it "Don't Repeat Yourself" if it actually means something somewhat more subtle than that. I firmly bel

I can relate to this. I think Casey Muratori coined the maxim "write usable code first". I often mutter that to myself when I'm trying to design some crazy system rather than just solving the problem at hand.

I have to agree with you there - I'm just a random guy who wrote a blog post.

Thanks - I fixed this mistake. I originally was "solving" the problem by checking if the arg passed was a list of lists or a list of strings but I thought I'd get flamed even more for being a terrible developer with that solu

Thanks for having my back. #3 is an overwhelming real world phenomenon. In fact, I posted my article on reddit and someone wrote back a comment with a huge OOP solution that would mitigate all my problems. Not sure that reader got to point

100% agree and I just wrote this response and then saw you said it better!

That's fair. But maybe someone wants to reuse this in another place so they do this: ``` def make_string_filename(s, style="new"): # 2 lines of shared magic if style == "old" # 2 lines of original magic

Thanks - I like this point. I think it's probably a better illustration of what I'm trying to say in my third point. Devs are biased towards adapting existing shared code so we end up with shared libraries picking up little imple

Partially agree. I think SPOT (I'd always heard it called single source of truth) is a more universally applicable paradigm than DRY. Having said that, the cost of creating dependency chains is often underestimated. Overly dogmatic ad

If it works like the OSX subl command, it integrates with git nicely so it can pause git commands to allow you edit commit messages in sublime and resume the command once you save. If you try to do this with standard exe in windows, the gi
