I love VIM-like TUIs, but the discoverability of of them is absolutely awful.

This does not work great. What if you have a grid of 30 item, do you press 20 times tab to focus finally the item you want to interact with? Keyboard design is much more, its also about how and where to place items, how things should move..

That's not what I mean. The site you linked is about how to make a mouse-first website more keyboard friendly, but what I would like to exist is a mature keyboard-first guide. I mean something like this (my wip keyboard-first file mana

The problem with keyboard navigation is that there seems to be no mature GUI keyboard-first UX concept. "Mouse things" are the way they are, because they fit the mouse-way. We need the same for the keyboard-way. Until then, there

Not showing the model cost in the Cursor UI is the biggest failure of Cursor.

Instead of needing a familiar metaphor to understand a new system (reasoning by analogy), they grasp the core conceptual mechanics directly. It’s not that the 2/3 can't think abstractly, it’s just that they use analogies as a temp

You described reasoning by analogy, which two thirds of the population does.

Nice, now make it 20x cheaper.

So you are repeating narratives without checking them?

For me there is no point in using Claude Opus 4.7, it's too expensive since it does not do 100% of the job. Since AI can anyway only do 90% of most tasks, I can use another model and do the remaining 15-30% myself.

When taking a bird eyes view on CSS it will be hard to oversee that CSS is a mixture of different concepts that evolved over time with a lot of inconsistentsies. It is possible to make it work, but it's not pretty. Same for HTML. If th

Isn't the main problem that the building blocks the modern web is based on are not a good fit for what we do with it? CSS is a total mess. HTML is a mess. JS is okay, but is not a high quality language. We would save so much time and m

I use the Terminal all the time and write my own CLI tools, but I'm feeling more and more the limits of the current system. With the years I have used almost all available shells (EShell was even my default for some time). Right now my

Its almost ironical that we still use the Terminal - and many use it like in the eighties using Bash - and seem to have forgotten that we should invent a better terminal & shell than doing all the workarounds to handle the quirks of the

PBT allows us to test more combinations without writing hundreds of tests. Yes, it's about user flow inside a single module of our gigantic application.

I use quicktheories (Java) and generate a determistic random test scenario, then I generate input values and run the tests. This way I can create tests that should fail or succeed, but differ in the steps executed and in the order with &quo

I'm doing propety-based test since years for frontend stuff. The hardest part is, that there is so much between the test inputs and the application under test, that I find 50% of the time problems with the frontend test frameworks&#x2F

You forget that you got a say for that money in a lot of parts of the world, which is one of the primary reasons the US is so wealthy. Europe took the deal that the US "handels the war stuff in the world" for some influence. If we

Mozilla wasted probably hundreds of million dollars trying all those "features", but all we want is a stable browser.

I get your point and think in a similar way. The difference between AI and the coconuts is -> there is no way deaths by coconuts increase by 10000000x, but for AI it's possible. The reasons we have not - and probably will not - remo

by thibran 11mo ago
Wouldn't be the trick to let AI code the app on first requests and then let it run the code instead of have it always generate everything? This should combine the best of both worlds.

jj clicks almost for me. I still struggle to understand when do I switch to a "branch" using 'jj new' and when do I use 'jj edit'. Also the manual setting of bookmarks after 'jj git pull' seems strang

No. I've done Java long time ago and now again in a new job. Java is still verbose and clumsy. Did not like it back then and don't like it now. Would prefer to use Kotlin or Clojure.

Too bad that we still use text based shells in the year 2025. We should have come up with a graphical shell that is as powerful and flexible two decades ago.
