Is this performative posting? We're supposed to care that you don't care? Could you imagine this forum if everyone acted like you?

A worthy and pragmatic tradeoff. I've always appreciated Solid's DX/mental model (I _never_ have to think "when does this re-render?") so v2.0's continued wins on DX are remarkable. I never thought a release co

I'm a little surprised that there's no mention of end-user perf and that it's not on the js-framework-benchmark. Not an accusation; just noticing the lack of emphasis (perhaps natural, given how much Solid 1.0 was famous for

Sure, you can "vibe/auto-retro". But in my experience the retro often results in "higher-order" structural changes. In starker terms: if you're ok with "vibe principles", "vibe invariants",

I can count the number of times an @ file reference doesn't autocomplete on a hundred hands. Or how a rewind won't reset the "is this file Read" marker. Or how a Branch (forking a convo) takes literally 5+secs to run. Or

I apply this mindset to Trump/politics too. I fucking _loathe_ Trump. I still hope he makes America better. But god I fucking hate him. I think his policies are garbage, but I'd love to be proven wrong. All I see is bribery and ne

$20 users don't get access to Fable. It's $100+ tier only.

I used Fable all the time on my 2 Pro accounts. It's great. I'm just very careful with subagents/workflows, and it's quite usable. I'm off to Codex land I guess, which is sad because I do appreciate Anthropic's

My man, if your comments can't be distinguished from a bot's, you're no better than one. Also if you can't tell that your comment's unsubstantiated bait, you really need to go touch grass. Everyone has an annecdote.

Hah, 2 minutes before my remark. I feel like if anyone has 2+ ergomech keyboards, they should really try something with a pointing device. It's clear they don't mind having an expensive hobby :D

by AlexErrant 3mo ago
For people who like small keyboards, why do you NOT have an integrated trackball/pointing device? E.g. I love my Charybdis, but I rarely see people advocating for a keyboard with a pointing device. Does a trackball disqualify it as &qu

Feature request; `git diff --color-moved` uses colors to display moved chunks of code. Scanning https://diffs.com/docs it isn't obvious that yall support that; please add it :)
