Not showing the model cost in the Cursor UI is the biggest failure of Cursor.

Instead of needing a familiar metaphor to understand a new system (reasoning by analogy), they grasp the core conceptual mechanics directly. It’s not that the 2/3 can't think abstr…

You described reasoning by analogy, which two thirds of the population does.

Nice, now make it 20x cheaper.

So you are repeating narratives without checking them?

For me there is no point in using Claude Opus 4.7, it's too expensive since it does not do 100% of the job. Since AI can anyway only do 90% of most tasks, I can use another model a…

When taking a bird eyes view on CSS it will be hard to oversee that CSS is a mixture of different concepts that evolved over time with a lot of inconsistentsies. It is possible to …

Isn't the main problem that the building blocks the modern web is based on are not a good fit for what we do with it? CSS is a total mess. HTML is a mess. JS is okay, but is not a …

I use the Terminal all the time and write my own CLI tools, but I'm feeling more and more the limits of the current system. With the years I have used almost all available shells (…

Its almost ironical that we still use the Terminal - and many use it like in the eighties using Bash - and seem to have forgotten that we should invent a better terminal & shell th…

Escaping problems or wrong handling of non-visible characters.

PBT allows us to test more combinations without writing hundreds of tests. Yes, it's about user flow inside a single module of our gigantic application.

I use quicktheories (Java) and generate a determistic random test scenario, then I generate input values and run the tests. This way I can create tests that should fail or succeed,…

I'm doing propety-based test since years for frontend stuff. The hardest part is, that there is so much between the test inputs and the application under test, that I find 50% of t…

You forget that you got a say for that money in a lot of parts of the world, which is one of the primary reasons the US is so wealthy. Europe took the deal that the US "handels the…

Maybe increase the living conditions for people under 60? All this talk is just about the symptoms, but the cause is that young people are born into a deeply unfair world where los…

Mozilla wasted probably hundreds of million dollars trying all those "features", but all we want is a stable browser.

I get your point and think in a similar way. The difference between AI and the coconuts is -> there is no way deaths by coconuts increase by 10000000x, but for AI it's possible. Th…

Wouldn't be the trick to let AI code the app on first requests and then let it run the code instead of have it always generate everything? This should combine the best of both worl…

auto rebase, simple undo (jj undo), no staging area, easy splitting and merging

jj is so good, finally a tool to replace Git. SVN -> Git -> jj

30% of the productivity hacks can be archived in vanilla Nushell.

zoxoide, rg, fd, jj and Nushell are my command line favorites.

jj clicks almost for me. I still struggle to understand when do I switch to a "branch" using 'jj new' and when do I use 'jj edit'. Also the manual setting of bookmarks after 'jj gi…
