    Should have called it Bunz!

    I appreciate the perspective, but code reviews are subjective. The tooling and the language can be so good that it shifts to this kind of utopian state, where all bugs are caught a…

    > Nice idea but I don't understand why people write bash scripts more than a few lines long. From a pragmatic perspective I agree. But I think you’re missing the point here. A lot …

    Awesome! I’m the author and I created that project as a way to teach myself Bash at the time. I called it NanoBlogger because it was inspired by MicroBlogger, yet another Bash blog…

    Never occurred to me how much ms dos batch syntax must have been inspired by basic when I saw the comments (aka remarks) start with “rem”

    Fair point. I’m still learning how best to take advantage of Ai. And to be honest, a statically typed language would have caught the issue with the wrong return type before the AI …

    I’m not so sure. I had a recent experience where Kiro was convinced there was a defect in the testing library when I asked it to refactor some existing project code. However this c…

    Gives me a whole new perspective to the phrase clean code.

    Interesting. I replaced most of my gripes with power toys and WSL. That and a ridiculous amount of hardware. YMMV.

    I’m most excited for the scheduler and memory footprint improvements. As bad as I hear Windows 11 is, I’ve rarely had issues with it. For the most part it just works and stays out …

    Thanks for sharing this on GitHub. Nice to see how others are using AI in their projects.

    At first I thought it was interactive. It would have been much cooler if it was ;)

    agreed. Although "starts another war" dismisses 50 years of history. Iran never stopped being at war with US and Israel and they clearly were never going to agree to a deal that le…

    That's funny, I can't shake the thought that China's AI tech could be helping the ayatollahs' conduct their retaliation strikes.

    Perhaps it’s the odd placement of the ampersand. Something like >2&1 would make more sense to me. On the other hand, pipe “|” is brilliant!

    False equivalency. As a green card holder he does not share the same freedom of speech rights as that of a US citizen.

    It’s a messy situation for sure and what lead me to discover tinted theming: https://github.com/tinted-theming/base24/ It’s been a fairly decent stop gap measure. I use tinted shel…

    That’s an interesting thought. I don’t believe that Vim’s modal system will be to their taste, but makes me curious if anyone has put together a collection of useful text editing m…

    That’s a more meaningful prefix than “,” at the expense of a couple more key strokes. I consider that to still be a win in the book of tab completions. I would replace underscore w…
