See my other reply to him.

I meant pico 8 and was on my phone which autocorrected wrong twice.

Re PS: nobody really knew what was interesting or useful about it, and by the end of that day, neither did I, and my dream was lost, and I still can't find it.

This is incredible! It looks beautiful, with a perfect type of minimalism, and supports modern features out of the box. Very good job! If I used terminal editors anymore, I would certainly use this!

The answer to that question is in the eye of the beholder or something idk

I mean Poco 8

Cool. But why not a GUI dev environment like pick 9?

You're making an even stronger case for poverty level minimalism than I think I ever could. The freedom you lose by having to maintain all of that... No thanks.

Maybe the Romans invented both of those but just didn't tell you.

Write a book about C++ with this quality. It'll sell.

I meant technologically not economically.

There's nothing wrong with studying science. What's silly is throwing away other valid sources of information and pretending they fall under the responsibility of science.

Try writing a computer program that has side effects without time existing.

Yet you call yourself a fool in your own username. Why be so sure you're not wrong about any or all of those statements?

The idea that they're mutually exclusive is entirely stupid.

You're in Athens, son.

I wasn't being fair, I was being mean. Perforce is stupid and ugly.

In about 2010, I briefly had a contract with a security firm with one dev, and there was no source control, and everything written was in low quality PHP. I quit after a week.

I actually remember using Perforce back in like 2010 or something. And I can't remember why or for which client or employer. I just remember it was stupid.

I always wondered if Archimedes could have realized more applications of his lever and invented the gear and kicked off the industrial revolution early.

TV and then YouTube and then TikTok have drained my creativity. Fully.

Wow.

.... annnnnd of course the mods took away the Show HN prefix.

The day that I posted my main project which I hoped to make money from, which I knew I had posted too early, that same day I lost all inspiration for it. The dream was shattered.

This project is the only one I have left that I believe in.

We seem to have to poles: extreme realism, and extremely minimalistic pixel art. I prefer the second camp. But your project looks really important in the first camp.

Yet Mozilla has the stigma here?

Great question, I'm glad you asked!

I don't mean intentionally.

I mean maybe he made that repo because he'd given up on his coding dreams. Almost.

That would be some interesting accidental meta commentary on the state of things.

Unless you work for Conan O'Brien.

A fan saw him and briefly chatted, then Conan asked if he wanted a photo.

The man said "sure, Mr. O'Brien," to which Conan replied, "please, call me sir."

Excellent Diogenes quote reference.
