Forgive me, 'unusable'. Hardly training wheels in any case.

> Intellij git integration in comparison, in my opinion, it's barely usable and generally counter intuitive.

You're going to have to explain that one to me. I don't know what part of `ctrl+k`, comment, `ctrl+enter` to commit is difficult. Keeps my hands on the keyboard and head in the code. Time to push? `ctrl+shift+k`. Update? `ctrl+t`.

I have yet to find any IDE that performs as well as IntelliJ et al.

Between opening up with "Over the years, well-intentioned people experimented with adding meaning to those numbers..." and a reference to Hyrum's Law, your article definitely reads as a criticism of SemVar and pins it as a failed process. It isn't until 1/3 of the way through that you call out the actual failure in the process: The user. Personally, I think the 'failure' of Semvar is in large part the fault of the Node community and their lack of rigor in their releases. SemVar works fine if used correctly.

I once wrote a python module that applied diff patches as a part of the deployment process. This let us 'fix' libraries we depended on without having to maintain a full fork until the maintainer fixed the bug. If a new version came down, we could test the patch and update it if needed.

Necessity, meet invention...

Then the problem is with you. You wrote code that had a dependency on a specific non-guaranteed feature (the bug) and then feel jilted b/c they changed the non-guaranteed feature. What you should have done was written defensive code and tests around the NGF so that when it changed, your tests would catch that and either not upgrade or allow you the chance to fix it.

"Personalized Ads for Small Businesses" What a bunch of malarkey. I've worked in ad space and the actual ability for SB's to compete is laughable. Their budgets are so comparatively small that they simply don't get the assistance necessary. They're drinking through paper straws while the big dogs swim in lakes.

SB's absolutely need a platform to compete, but I'm absolutely incredulous that FB is that platform, much less Google or any other like company.

It's a 'Good Thing' until you lose 4 hours worth of work because of an unprompted and unstoppable update. There are very much indeed unprompted upgrades. There's also all of the reverted settings and re-installed applications. I don't want or need 'People' and 'Weather' and 'Xbox' and all the rest. Please leave them off, thank you very much.

That just makes Google sound risk averse. Given some of their business models and decisions over the last 5 years, I don't think that's the case. Given the quality of those products over the last 5 years, I might be inclined to question the nature and/or quality of the engineers being hired. Or maybe it's further up the ladder?

This isn't real right? It's just a made up story to scare, right??

Try Hound. It's faster than anything I've tried and it's context management is just impressive as hell. The echos lack of negative clauses is really really frustrating.

What you call over engineered I call common sense capabilities that get out of my way. There isn't any thing (non platform specific) that I can do in VS that I can't do better and faster in the IDEA platform. And with the tooling consistency, in can jump between stacks and Stillman maintain the same functionality.

Only if you purchase a monthly subscription. If you buy a one year license, you get a perpetual license and you don't have to sign in when. The monthly based subscription require logging in every 30 days or so, but you can also key in the licensing offline with out signing in.

I was going to sign up, but no way to pay without paypal or bitcoin. Don't have the latter, won't deal with the former. Too bad the only way to contact them is 'on their social networks'. Seriously?

I think if you have to tell other people how deep and amazing your own work is, it might not be that deep or amazing.

Compromising the lock is different than choosing the type of lock.
