lazygit can already reword

Nothing bad has ever happened from privatizing well running government orgs either.

MitchellH also talks about this in some interviews he gave about Ghostty.

Here’s the talk description: https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4507-infu...

I think most people don’t have access to supermarkets tho.

And that’s why you talk about it and agree on stuff. I call that being a professional.

The need is quite widely interpretable though.

I worked on a Drupal site once where somebody had put business logic and database querying inside of template files.

Just because you can implement something without touching any other part of the codebase doesn’t mean that’s a good decision.

Expecting a developer with 4 YoE to be able to handle a messy legacy codebase by themselves is a suboptimal business decision I’d say.

Referenced strongly in 2024’s The Substance.

The biggest reasons for me to use the clean architecture are faster testing (most logic is in functional code) and most changes having impact in a small number of files only.

Quite a funny commercial imo. I do wonder if getting commercials for big software releases is gonna be a thing from now on.

In Amsterdam close to Sloterplas (lake in the West) “aggressive Moroccans”.

Typo: “meats the eye”

How do y’all filter out survivorship bias in articles like this? I can imagine 50 other people with the exact same experiences but then having worked for companies that ended up fizzling.

tldraw.com is also excellent

If I have todo items that are 10 years old it’s a sign I don’t really care about them.

For (PKM) notes it’s a whole different story.

It might also be people not willing to admit that they don’t know how to optimize website performance. And if you have a somewhat complex web app it can be complicated, especially if your stack doesn’t help you (looking at you React).

Capitalism is so weird sometimes.

I think there are valuable positions to take in between “let’s manipulate the DOM by hand” and “React Server Components, NextJS and the kitchen sink”.

I personally think there’s great value in the pattern of reactivity where parts of your DOM update based on bits of data. Developing, designing and testing components like this becomes way simpler.

I’m familiar with lock/freeze files but that’s not what I’m after.

Would you say it's slower than file IO too?

Pricing should be way more obvious and up front. I had to search the comments here to find pricing.

Do I really need to login to get pricing information?

Did you go the “display it, then OCR what’s displayed” route as a last ditch effort?

They’re all computers, whether you can make phonecalls with them is actually not that interesting.

My takeaway of their angle is: the companies making the apps and services that are used a lot often have incentives that aren’t aligned with their users. People want to see baby photos, Facebook wants to sell ads, people want to find information, Google wants to sell ads, people want to see what their friends are doing Instagram wants to sell ads. The “LAM” promises to wrap a lot of stuff under an interface.

The device itself is just the access point.

I like the angle. I don’t see it working with today’s quality of LLM understanding human intent nor with all of the siloed platforms.

This so much.

I want easily pluggable/connectable systems for everything. I want to see all my messages and all my contacts and all my stuff in interfaces I choose. The future is definitely not searching email, Whatsapp, Signal and Instagram to find the message my friend sent me the other day.

Obsidian can do this: https://github.com/twibiral/obsidian-execute-code

I use Obsidian for my programming notes, troubleshooting logs, thinking on “paper”, writing and checking assumptions. It’s very powerful and quite performant. AMA.

Would you still have a viable product if GitHub decides to performance-optimize their action runners?

I get that performance is important, and if MS puts their weight behind it I can see them fixing their stuff and basically removing the market for 3rd party solutions.

Or is this maybe a “hey MS buy us?” thing?

Famous last words.

I like Cory Doctorow’s use in “Chickenized Reverse Centaur”.
