scottcorgan··on Why media fans want to escape algorithms with CDs, DVDs and vinyl
100% this. The algo trap is from laziness, not from streaming.

scottcorgan··on Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed
I'll third this. AI autocomplete is THE most efficient and helpful feature of Cursor, not the agents.
scottcorgan··on Just Say No to JavaScript
Finally, an accurate take on FE! Well said!
scottcorgan··on It's getting harder to die
No place is rather be than with my spouse in a time like that!
scottcorgan··on Ask HN: What brought back the joy of programming for you?
Remix
scottcorgan··on Java is becoming more like Rust, and I am here for it
Modern Java is great! Java "patterns" are overwhelming.
scottcorgan··on Remix Vite Is Now Stable
Most of RR’s breaking changes were years apart, which is way less often than almost all JS libraries.

But, Remix’s breaking changes start as future flags on the current major release and slowly become breaking changes over time.

That means you can incrementally adopt the breaking change so the upgrade isn’t all at once.

Sounds like Cycle.js

5th wave emo is the bet yet!

scottcorgan··on Open source neural network emulator for guitar amplifiers
This thing sounds so good and has configureable accuracy. A lot of guitarists are saying it's more accurate than most of the paid stuff including Kemper, Quad Cortex, and ToneX!
scottcorgan··on Mastadon instance uiuxdev.social has been down twice in a month for over a day
I know it's a free instance, but there's no way to get ahold of the admin (or even find out who it is) since the instance is gone.

No way to export my data to move to a new instance.

No way to pay the admin to help keep the instance up.

Just makes me sad :/

scottcorgan··on Interface Ideas for Chat Apps
Grouping bubbles is such low hanging fruit and makes scanning so much more simple, love it!

Tagging is great. I feel like being able to great your own graph of data from any app on your phone would be a cool api.

scottcorgan··on Ask HN: Is Substack the new Medium?
This is InVsion vs Figma.
scottcorgan··on Lufthansa bans AirTags in checked luggage
Airlines don’t lose luggage, airports do. Airlines just carry luggage.
scottcorgan··on The End of Uber with Cory Doctorow
Y'all writing these articles consistently forget about rural areas that both have no consistent internet and no Uber-type services. No food delivery, no grocery store (drive 45 min hour for a real grocery store).

The ideas are great and ideal, but ...

scottcorgan··on Our Use of Haskell and Elm
Fair point. I think the Elm devs knew that, so they created https://github.com/avh4/elm-upgrade for the 0.17 to 0.18 upgrade. It's fixes _almost_ everything.

It will be updated for 0.19 as well!

scottcorgan··on Our Use of Haskell and Elm
You can follow along on the #elm-dev slack channel to know everything that's happening with the development with Elm. What 0.19 is going to include has been documented and made available to anyone that wants to know.

A long release cycle has meant I don't have to update any of my existing Elm code. That's a WIN to me! :)

scottcorgan··on AIM will be discontinued today
