    Half of me agrees with you. As someone who used to tinker with neovim all day I've had to learn just because you can program the problem doesn't mean you should and stick to a rela…

    I believe perfection is a dirty word because it has a pernicious effect on the human mind. Striving towards perfection too often leads to yes over-engineering but I think more impo…

    Yea by having claude code in a terminal window within neovim rather than tmux you can leverage neovim commands to traverse, copy, paste and otherwise interact with the terminal win…

    Knowing and leveraging the editor deeply is the best high level advice. Sessions for persistence, windows and buffers to manage screen real-estate (including terminals), and the te…

    I will concede that this is the primary gap in the ecosystem right now is PERSISTENT terminal buffers but the act of doing terminal work in neovim is straight up nice if you use ne…

    (Neo)vim is setup wonderfully for this era. Im with Justin on the take that neovim can replace tmux soon literally all that is left is being able to restart terminal sessions on re…

    I mean others are saying its divided and that's true. I guess the other side of your argument is... Is it better though? One could easily argue much of software development is prom…

    I mean yea my take is that there's basically nothing that claude could benefit from that humans wont. So I see no reason to make claude-specific docs. With that said, yes, the diff…

    I think this writer kinda took the bait which is fine someone had to do this so we couldn't debate endlessly. But the reality is that if you were already set enough to call rsync s…

    Cute interesting take but I feel like it misses the point. Specifically, this makes sense where performance is necessary. Many projects have been written in suboptimal languages be…

    I recently posted about how I refuse to buy apple products because of stuff like this. The lock in has made iPhone users dependent on a app ecosystem when we could have had most of…

    I refuse to buy macbooks/apple products and advise my people to do the same. I make it clear it's not about specs, it's not about UI, its about the fact that apple makes the world …

    I think this is a classic case of correlation does not imply causation. As someone that has known these people, and I does smoke as an adult, I would interpret that as people who a…

    The only real answer is something like web assembly and that would be a major breaking change for them. This is why allot run dev containers but agreed this really should be top pr…

    As someone who has been running all the components of omarchy before they made it, I agree with you in spirit especially as an arch user. But other people need an ISO and yes all t…

    Remember, in other countries, especially eastern ones, the recommendation of even your local city means allot. There is a deeper trust of government bodies so this will likely have…

    This sparks a thought experiment I've been having. In this world where llms can be thought of as the new layer of compilers, things like pickle are likely going to be the main unit…

    Im in the same boat. In theory JavaScript holds more potential to make finely crafted visuals. But you're right, the ecosystem is so mature I still find other ecosystems lacking. B…

    Im on the opposite extreme here in that I believe typing obsession is the root of much of our problems as an industry. I think Rich Hickey was completely right, this is all informa…
