The Framework isn't bad. I've had a few freezes on my recently-purchased 12th gen running NixOS, but I've juste applied the documented workarounds for the issue and am waiting to see if those resolve it. Other than that, it&#

I wasn't worried about the team letting current ESLint rot- just about the possibility of the team sinking a bunch of time into architecture, planning, add starting from scratch that never really gets anywhere. I do see your point, tho

In some sense it's not a good terminal emulator (I hit several glitches in it on macOS, though it seems to do better on my NixOS machine), but I'm in love with cool-retro-term for its gorgeous CRT-style visuals. https:/&#x2F

Sure. In those cases a build process is usually trivially easy to put together, and has benefits, so while not necessary it's still beneficial.

there are genuine software engineers, yes. I have yet to meet or work with one. Engineering is expensive, and most software developers rightly default to a pragmatic craftsman's attitude. Build something people can use and iterate on
