Ghostty is a great terminal app. I've been using it a lot over the past few years. When I started using Claude Code the tabs were not enough and so I looked for a multiplexer. I di…

Perl 6 was supposed to be an upgrade but it kept changing. I lost interest and know I will never use it. And if it is a totally different language why is it called Perl?

Perl was the language that I used many years ago but I moved on. Perl 6 was announced in 2000 and took over 10 years to see a release and by then most developers moved on like I di…

FreeBSD is plenty fast. I expect Digital Ocean simply needs to work out some kinks. It will be fast soon enough.

Yes

No

I love that. From 1983 no less. It is basically the same sort of rant/argument you hear today. I will be sharing it with the undergrads I know.

@Animats, this is very true. Many only want to use languages which are considered easy. Ruby and Swift are examples of the easier languages which allow developers to avoid issues l…

Is it possible or does it make sense for GCC and LLVM to work together? Or does the licensing make that impossible?

Agreed. Click bait.

Get off my lawn!

Beware of the Hackathon which is not a Hackathon.

HealthKit is just the name of the library. Health is the name of the app. Good luck with you lawsuit.

Nope. The arguments in this piece are way off base. This is also now a very old argument which has been rehashed too many times. Modern wisdom shows us that native mobile apps have…

My issue with how things work currently is that logging into a native mobile app is not nearly as easy as logging into a website. That process has to improve. That why I like loggi…

Eventually you will get a handle on AutoLayout and it will become much easier. I learned to follow a few patterns that I taught myself which are solid for my interfaces. If I did i…

Who says designers need to use Xcode and IB? They can provide the comps so the developer knows the dimensions. It should be a collaborative process, not something that belongs to t…

No thanks. Just learn to Storyboards already. It is it that hard and Xcode can help anyone who maintains this app. If it all in code it takes a lot of the and effort to understand …

Kobra is an online code editor that allows you to collaborate with your team quickly and efficiently. After you connect to your development environment, you can see changes in your…

We should listen to this guy. Not many guys can pull off a striped shirt that well.

What does this guy know about Open Source? It's not like he dedicated years of his career encouraging Microsoft to warm up to Open Source or works at GitHub to make it easier for d…

We have been looking at Bounty Source. We think jobs on Bribe.io will not be on that scale. Some of those projects are quite involved while Bribe.io may be smaller efforts, like up…

We envision that many times the bugs will be fixed by someone who has not already been working on that Open Source project. We also do not expect any projects which are intentional…
