Maybe OP just used an ai editor to add their silly comments, so that would be fair game I guess? Or some humans just add silly comments. The article didn't stand out to me as emberrassingly ai-written. Not an em dash in sight :) Edit:

Interesting comment. Why is it common decency to call out how much ai was used for generating an artifact? Is there a threshold? I assume spell checkers, linters and formatters are fair game. The other extreme is full-on ai slop. Where do

That scenario moves the goalpost towards a losing proposition. You have two important and urgent things and already know you fail at least one of them. TFA is about non urgent important tasks that you want to show incremental progress on.

Yes. They are in the important but not urgent quadrant of the Eisenhower matrix.

This (ie. using the github issues on the repo) is great because it co-locates the mental notes breadcrumbs, the todo list and the project itself. I use org-mode for personal project management, and by design it intermingles notes and todos.

This seems to work well for me when I only have a single (highest priority) project for the next couple months. But as soon as I have competing priorities, the context switches (or scheduling overhead) kill all the momentum that I could bui

Because if you start making more widgets then now your support, marketing, sales acquisition et al costs also have to scale. But that needs foresight... And until the AI workforce comes for those too, it's easier to claim short term vi

Not who you replied to but I'm in the same boat re: sleepless nights. It's not quite literally that bad but it's distracting for sure. I just can't seem to leave enough breadcrumbs to stop ruminating about the problem

Are there tests for aphantasia? It's fascinating to me that (as far as I'm concerned) we mostly learn about it by self-reporting but then those reports vary pretty wildly. I myself don't have aphantasia I think but I feel lik

But then those are by definition not UI tests. In an ideal world one might argue that everything testing-worthy (ie. the logic-heavy parts) is already factored out from the UI components but getting to that point either needs a good amount

My main issue with 60% are the lack of arrow keys. I haven't used F-keys for years (I do use the media keys on the F-row every once in a while) but my muscle memory needs dedicated arrow keys.

It's more about flexibility than consistency. str.join() and bytes.join() can support all iterable type arguments. Better than trying to implement a join (or two) on all iterables.
