Going through books after this one was a breeze

It was a never a velocity problem though, rapid progress comes mainly from designing better systems and building tight abstractions not by writing using the same primitives faster

I dont want that though, I want someone to spend much more time than I can afford thinking about and perfecting a product that I can pay for and dont worry about it

> evolved into something else that was all about money and growth and image

I feel like this happened long before LLMs became a thing

rare occasion where he gained a legendary status based purely on his work, I dont think I ever saw even a written interview with the guy

I thought the main idea of vim is that touch typers who are really fast can do everything without lifting their fingers from the main row, which is a really motivating reason imo, it starts to breakdown heavily when you dont already have this skill though

I felt the need to blame my parents, until my life got better and I realized whatever they did had no impact once I decided to take full responsibility

The chain of thought is incredibly useful, I almost dont care about the answer now I just follow what I think is interesting from the way it broke the problem down, I tend to get tunnel vision when working for a long time on something so its a great way to revise my work and make sure I am not misunderstanding something

I am pretty sure we will have a deep cultural repulsion from it and people will pay serious money to have an AI free experience, If AI becomes actually useful there is alot of areas that we dont even know how to tackle like medicine and biology, I dont think anything would change otherwise, AI will take jobs but it will open alot more jobs at much higher abstraction, 50 years ago the idea that a software engineer would become a get rich quick job would have been insane imo

I think its more of a person who builds "systems" for other programmers to use and work within

Why should it matter anyway if its short or long when it will abruptly end as if it never existed

Vscode also has an ok gdb frontend, very nice when you are debugging embedded microcontrollers

The author justin frankel (also wrote reaper the DAW absolute legend) had this to say about it

> Question: Now that WinAMP's source has been officially released, do you have any desire to hack new badass features in?

Answer: If I did have any desire, it would be extinguished by the license terms, lol. The terms are completely absurd in the way they are written, e.g. "You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software." So arguably making any changes would be considered "creating a forked version." But even taking these terms as they are likely intended (which is slightly more permissive than how they are written), they are terrible. No thank you.

Life is simple until we play with time, once you start altering the past everything falls apart
