Jump navigation is a nice way to solve this. Something like FlashJump for Mac. Tab navigation too for close proximity jumping.

I appreciate the perspective, but code reviews are subjective. The tooling and the language can be so good that it shifts to this kind of utopian state, where all bugs are caught and eliminated by guarantees in the language and tooling. Or

> Nice idea but I don't understand why people write bash scripts more than a few lines long. From a pragmatic perspective I agree. But I think you’re missing the point here. A lot of the most entertaining, and dare I say inspiring c

Awesome! I’m the author and I created that project as a way to teach myself Bash at the time. I called it NanoBlogger because it was inspired by MicroBlogger, yet another Bash blog. I still have fond memories of the open source community’s

> We can stop reading LLM-generated code just like we don’t read assembly, or bytecode, or transpiled JavaScript; our high-level language source would now be another form of machine code This is too weird for me. At least with programmin

Never occurred to me how much ms dos batch syntax must have been inspired by basic when I saw the comments (aka remarks) start with “rem”

Fair point. I’m still learning how best to take advantage of Ai. And to be honest, a statically typed language would have caught the issue with the wrong return type before the AI tool.

I’m not so sure. I had a recent experience where Kiro was convinced there was a defect in the testing library when I asked it to refactor some existing project code. However this conclusion made no sense as we had similar scenarios across o

Gives me a whole new perspective to the phrase clean code.

Interesting. I replaced most of my gripes with power toys and WSL. That and a ridiculous amount of hardware. YMMV.

I’m most excited for the scheduler and memory footprint improvements. As bad as I hear Windows 11 is, I’ve rarely had issues with it. For the most part it just works and stays out of my way. My only gripes are the occasional forced updates

If you think that's wild just wait until you find out what programming language their AI tool was written in.

Thanks for sharing this on GitHub. Nice to see how others are using AI in their projects.

At first I thought it was interactive. It would have been much cooler if it was ;)

agreed. Although "starts another war" dismisses 50 years of history. Iran never stopped being at war with US and Israel and they clearly were never going to agree to a deal that left them without the nuclear capability to wipe bot

That's funny, I can't shake the thought that China's AI tech could be helping the ayatollahs' conduct their retaliation strikes.

Perhaps it’s the odd placement of the ampersand. Something like >2&1 would make more sense to me. On the other hand, pipe “|” is brilliant!

It’s a messy situation for sure and what lead me to discover tinted theming: https://github.com/tinted-theming/base24/ It’s been a fairly decent stop gap measure. I use tinted shell to switch between color schemes

That’s an interesting thought. I don’t believe that Vim’s modal system will be to their taste, but makes me curious if anyone has put together a collection of useful text editing macros for Vim similar to what Notepad++ offers. Typically, I

That’s a more meaningful prefix than “,” at the expense of a couple more key strokes. I consider that to still be a win in the book of tab completions. I would replace underscore with “-“ or “.”

Not an expert here, so I’m genuinely curious how could a video stream (edit: with muted audio stream) possibly cause another laptop in close proximity to crash?

Haha. You make one positive comment about a language and suddenly you’re a Rust evangelist :) Well that was fun. Thank you for this! https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/k3vinw

Generally, no. Only in the case you had a requirement to exclusively use JavaScript as the programming language you might be in for an awkward time justifying that you added type checking to the project via the type checker component of Typ
