    Migration churn adds up over the years but overall it's nice and site-specific code is usually so small it fits very nice in LLM context.. easy to work with.

    On the other hand: you don't need glue when you 3d print the whole thing. Keep it simple with a single language.

    It also means they must have started with the assumption that they were the best home for every type of studio, which, when you say it out loud, sounds very stupid. Second, how can…

    I'd be interested in 1) what makes a package "critical" 2) how do you take ownership if the original author is unreachable or not cooperating? Are you going to fork it and somehow …

    Time to optimize your software stack. Stop using slow interpreted languages & bloated "scaling" setups in favour of tightly integrated natively compiled systems.

    Where else could they store their serialized PHP data structures? (just kidding)

    Oh well, AI bros ruined it. I'm actually glad in some twisted way, because if more projects follow suit and close their development, it will again become an actual badge of honor t…

    No. From your tone it sounds like it's probably not as easy as you'd like. I don't really have a response to that. System customization is not something I'm interested in.

    Does a 4 word prompt count? If so then I'm joining the effort right now.

    I'm all for integration of system services if it helps bring a more cohesive OS. Interchangeability is a nice thing when building a system but I don't need it as a user.

    More like "Designed by Apple in California, then copied as a cheap knockoff, never to be touched by a serious designer again".

    Maybe it should say "designed in Zig" because most of the work & thinking was done using that language. The rewrite has no such history.

    I'm aware of those platforms and have used them in the past. The tendency towards libraries is what bugs me. My preference would be a "Djan-go" framework, with the models, migratio…

    I'm still on the lookout for a comprehensive Django-like web framework for go. That would be an instant hit for me.

    Similar situation with Apple's Xcode Cloud.

    Taken to an extreme, what's stopping us from going back to C? The security issues will be found and resolved, performance will be great and it will compile on all platforms that ev…

    Maybe it's just because I'm more of a SwiftUI person, but in the example on the homepage, the event == 'Cancel' condition seems like a strange and fragile way to check if a certain…

    How many UI migrations has Photoshop gone through over the years?

    The final three paragraphs really struck a chord with me. Nicely said. Thanks!
