What do you do wearing a Vision Pro in your yard?

I'm still mostly surrounded by large 2D panels of information (Xcode, Safari, terminal windows, etc.). I do fill the space with these panels. It's not uncommon for me to have 5-6 things around my Mac's virtual display. I've been on a quest to maximize my flow state for over a decade, it's been a terrible beast to tame with my ADHD. I'm finding the Vision Pro helps because of the intuitive nature of the UI. My brain e…

How do you find coding outside different?

Honestly curious, as it's been more distracting to me, the times I've tried it in 2D form.

The death of a company is when it’s acquired by Google/Microsoft/Apple. Founders get the golden parachute, investors get their 100X exit. Whoever is left after the acquisition is left to babysit the dinosaurs. Maybe leadership decides to shelve the IP, kill the project and any active development. Move promising assets to other teams or transfer them as backfill. After dust settles. The “dead weight” is killed off.

Are WhatsApp, Yoube, and Instagram dead? All acquisitions. Consider also that many companies would never be started if their founders had no option of selling them.

And closer to Apple Shazam and Shortcuts!

The Vision Pro takes away all the glare you'd normally get on a screen, and (to me) that basically reduces the distractions down to zero. If I need fewer distractions still, I'll pull up one of the environments (I like the moon!) and then all visual noise is drowned out entirely.

While working it's a combination of web surfing, terminals and documentation in PDF form. When I'm not working, watching movies on the thing is an absolute treat and Moonlight works pretty flawlessly for large-screen gaming.
