Hard disagree. If people cared, then all iOS apps would use standard styling, but the matter of fact is that every app has its own style, which does not stop at colors. They all share the same affordances (top left arrow to go back, bottom

The fun part is that Spotlight used to do this, but they progressively made it worse year after year. It became completely unusable for me maybe a couple of years ago and switched to Raycast, which I use exactly like I used to use Spotlight

Sorry to burst your bubble but users literally do not care "how native it looks" other than the vocal minority online. Never ever heard any non-technical user complain that Spotify does not fit in.

I think that once a bug has been verified and keeps getting likes, it should not be closed. If the user never responded to further questions, then absolutely. What I see however is that maintainers themselves fight the bot removing the labe

Crows and parrots are amazing talkers too, but there's a hard limit to how much sense they make. Do you want those birds to teach your kids and serve you medicine?

You can't "remove" how LLMs describe changes. I'm not talking about useless comments, I was just saying that they describe changes the same way as they comment code.

I told you how it is. Copilot writes crap descriptions that just distract from the actual code and the intention of the change. If your commit messages are in any way better than that, then please enlighten us rather than calling me a bot

If you're lucky to work in such an environment, more power to you. A lot of people have to deal with React where you need so much glue for basic tasks, and React isn't even the worst offender. Some boilerplate you can't wrap.

If you want to try easy mode, check out those newfangled android-based credit card terminal. I bet they're much more rewarding, especially since you tap your pin on the screen. Juicy.

They're great at one-shotting verbose code, but if they're generate bad code the first time you're out of luck. I don’t think I ever got to write "this api doesn't exist" and then gotten a useful alternative. C

Japan is the perfect place for this because their house numbering system already requires you to look at a map to find it. For those unfamiliar with it, numbers are incremented progressively around a block as doors are added to it. So the
