Incredible write-up, as usual. I still fondly remember discovering Red Blob Games' Hexagonal Grids [1] guide while building an implementation of the Tzaar board game [2]. The illustrations are enormously helpful! [1] https:/&#x2F

The median income in the UK is currently sitting at £2,627 / week or £31,524 / year [1]. This is advertising more than double that at £64,189, not quite graduate wages! [1] https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabou

I've been using superpowers [1] for this purpose, and have really appreciated how it guides the model to use careful, methodical approaches to answering my prompts. It's great for multi-step planning, design, and implementation, b

How "fat" are the packed machines? In other words, how much bloat is inevitable, or is that entirely controlled by the base image + the user's smolvm machine spec? How does smolvm's pack compare to something like dockerc

I love this, from a comment on the article: He had in his path a script called `\#` that he used to comment out pipe elements like `mycmd1 | \# mycmd2 | mycmd3`. This was how the script was written: ``` #!/bin/sh cat

First off, the ASCII art raccoon is adorable. The documentation here seems very thorough, but I'd really like to see some screenshots or a screencast of this in action! I've been using Diffview.nvim [1] lately to get just the view
