Hey! Author of the post here. Sounds like I failed my mission with the post then :) Yes, like many things, Orbs are "wrappers" around VMs, but the point is that some wrappers enable new ways to hold and use and reuse the thing the

Engineer working on Amp here. I'm very surprised that it took them this long to crack down on it. It's been against the terms of service from the start. When I asked them back in March last year whether individuals can use the hig

Hey! Thorsten Ball here. Thanks for the shout-out. I was quite confused when someone sent me this article: same "Emperor has no clothes", same "it's only x hundred lines", implements the same tools, it even uses the

Thank you! There's a long way to go still, but it makes me happy to hear when what we think about this, well, new way to program seems to resonate with others.

That is about the idea of rewriting existing tooling in Rust to get rid of node_modules folders, not about prompting users whether to download a language server or not.

One mini-feature I really like: authors highlighting their own favorite or popular articles. I think I saw it first on Julia Evans' blog ( https://jvns.ca/categories/favorite/ ). I also added it to mine ( https

That's right, someone linked me to this article: https://www.macobserver.com/analysis/apple-dry-run-apfs-prio... Pretty impressive.

Hey, author here. Yeah, I worked at Sourcegraph and I do think we built some high-quality stuff and we did write tests. I also think a lot of them were necessary. But, like I wrote here, I think that maybe we/I sometimes overdid it wit

I think that is on the roadmap too, but possibly further down.

I only joined Zed, the company, a week ago, so take this with a grain of salt, but: I've never really used real-time sharing (tried VS Code's Live mode and other apps) for longer than just 1-2 attempts, but at Zed things are diffe

Hey! Engineer at Zed here. Linux port is on our roadmap. Hopefully we'll get it done this year!

You know what, you're right. And it's actually something that's been bugging me for a while, I just never got around to fixing it. I'm going to update my config now. Thanks! (Author of post)

Author here. Yeah, that’s fair, it is over-generalizing (and I even admit to that in the post). I do think there might be some value (insight?) into trying to generalise things sometimes. In this case it’s me trying to split all software

Monodraw is one of my favorite macOS applications. It’s really well made and - I don’t know how else to put this - lots of fun. I used it for all diagrams in compilerbook.com and now use it to create diagrams of control-flow graphs that I c

Author here. Just wanted to add that I don’t think all forms of snark, sarcasm, and cynicism are bad. Or even negativity! But what I learned the hard way is that there’s a time and a place for this and often it’s not “your team & whenev

Yup, correct. I used Monodraw [0] for that (and the diagrams in the book). Highly recommend Monodraw, easily one of the loveliest pieces of Mac software I used. And it just got an update! [0]: https://monodraw.helftone.com

Ha! I was going to comment in here that I used Monodraw for the book and really fell in love with the tool. What I did more recently is to use Monodraw to create diagrams of CFGs and put those next to the test cases (see [0] or [1]) which e
