They probably don’t want to create a new history record after a few seconds of typing, otherwise to go back from the page you might have to press the back button 10-20 times (Safari on an iPhone but I reckon that extends to other setups). O

Love when Opus 4.6 tells me that I am actually wrong about some detail and that it's right (which after validating it often turns out to be true) - breath of fresh air. Not having friction to saying "Prove it, write a shell script

Previously, both tools and providers: - Continue.dev (kind of broken regardless of models) - Aider (unpleasant for me to use, too much busywork) - GitHub Copilot (tbh nice plugins and generous quotas + the only working autocomplete

I once spent around an hour optimizing a feature because it felt slow - turns out that the slower simulated connection had just stayed enabled after a restart (can’t remember if it was just the browser or the OS, but I previously needed it

I feel like we live in an interesting time, where you have to second guess whether someone would actually build something like this. Like, the language is very tongue in cheek, but given how messed up copyright law is, you'd think that

Tbh Go is also really nice for various local tools where you don’t want something as complex as C++ but also don’t want to depend on the full C# runtime (or large bundles when self-contained), or the same with Java. With Wails it’s also a l

I think a container of Kanboard https://kanboard.org/ and an MCP integration would achieve something similar - mostly cause when I think of project management tools that is the only one that actually feels insanely snappy,

I'd unironically (and privately) want to do that with the code of both myself and those around me - to maybe see who I should listen more to, as well as who maybe less (ideally down to the feature level), because everyone has opinions,
