#hottake User Interfaces do this are evil: require you to move your hands back and forth between the keyboard and the mouse "too often".

Alt+Space, X should maximize the app. Alt+Space, N should minimize the app. Alt+Space, C should close the app (same as Alt+F4). This is how Windows has worked since 1990. Don't break.

What if Cog (cog.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) was extended to include not python code, but an LLM prompt that generates the code which then executes and gets inserted into the code?

A programming language should be simple enough to not contain anything that's not needed, and the only thing that should be needed, besides the very very basics, is the ability for the user themselves to extend the language in any way they wish

Casey Muratori – The Big OOPs: Anatomy of a Thirty-five-year Mistake – BSC 2025 Finally got around to watching it. Love the history lesson. youtu.be/wo84LFzx5nI

Has anyone seen a Warp Code video where it WASN'T sponsored by Warp? Cmon guys

Microsoft has done a way better job with integrating Ubuntu into WSL, then Ubuntu has done delivering the Windows version of their Multipass solution. Talk about paying lip-service. Don't bother with Multipass running on Windows. It's probably ok on Macos and Linux.

I vote for the vcpkg browser the worst browser for package managers out there. Even worse than NuGet. If you don't know what you're looking for, there's no way to just browse to see what's popular, what's trending, or browser by category. You just have get a long list.

I use AI all the time when coding. It's amazing what it can do. I'm also really disappointed in AI. I wanted this thing to replace programmers, I mean 100% of us, but I don't have the vision of how LLMs are gonna get us there. Maybe some other AI tech is needed.

Today I learned Excel's Lambda() formula (the one you can just type =Lambda() in a cell) is lexically scoped. :faceplant: This means the resulting "function" remembers its environment (i.e. real closure). You can literally create on-the-fly objects with data and behavior.

If you want your vibe coding to be better, all you have to do is - write detailed specs and technical documents - create tons of automated tests - use old industry standard technologies - code review a lot more - manually QA every detail …maybe I’ll stick to writing code

So wait. Can I just write crap code, and if anyone asks me about it, I'll just act surprised and say I vibe-coded it.

Google Chrome is in the background. I have another app in the foreground (doesn't matter which). I press the keyboard combination Alt+G, and Chrome, in the background, decides to pop-up its Gemini. wtf Google! Seriously?

Why would someone create a programming language today, and and not think about adding support for "Set Next Statement" from within the Debugger? C'mon guys. Main reason I use C# for my own projects. If I had to use Kotlin or Java, I'd use IntelliJ just for that, or Delve for Go

I can't believe how badly Obsidian's UI sucks. I would seriously go back to OneNote if it wasn't for Microsoft clearly not interested in supporting it.

Every system tends towards complexity, slowness and difficulty Staying simple, fast and easy-to-use is a battle that must be fought everyday
