Huge way to get pink eye as well :P I agree that the price is the barrier. If it was around $1k I would MAYBE think about buying one. I'm curious to see what the newer Valve headset retails at, even though that's more for play tha

The extension capability is much less powerful than VSCode (no embedded web view) so it's a lot harder to pull off crazy stuff. All of the language support is done via language servers.

This should be common sense and immediately obvious to anybody who has spent more than a few hours with a coding agent.

Seriously, I moved all of my personal projects to a self-hosted Forgejo and all my open-source projects to Codeberg and haven't looked back.

The problem is that this mode of operation for them works - they get the features made in a fraction of the time it used to take, the feature does what it says on the tin, they feel good about pushing the product in a specific direction. If

The bet that management is making is that the AI will continue to improve and that it will be able to fix those issues on the cheap - so far this has proven to be true for us. We use AI to generate code at scale, that code has issues at sca

Right - knowing what to actually build always has been and always will be the limiting factor to actual success. I could spend months and hundreds of dollars generating the absolute BEST todo list that's out there but nobody wants that

This is great until the "gun to your head" is your skip-level manager demanding that a feature be implemented by the end of the week, and they know you can just "generate it with AI" so that timeline is actually realisti

You're just now learning this? There are whole books about it (check out "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" by Shoshana Zuboff)

> Soon, all meetings will be recorded, transcribed and stored in a well-indexed place for the agents to search when faced with ambiguity (free startup idea here!) We were doing that over at Vowel a few years back, unfortunately it didn&#

On macOS, this is easy. For everything else, I use mechanical keyboards that all run QMK/VIA so I remap it at the hardware level.

Meant to be a fun thing to do/experience/learn and not produced on an industrial scale. One small fire pit to harden some clay isn't going to make a material impact on total human CO2 emissions.

I think about this a lot - on HN and elsewhere online, there's an outsized portion of people who are likely to see use in AI. If you're online, you're on a computer and you're likely to also do office work that an AI can

I know it may be a radical view, but less cars is always a good thing. Not too happy about the job losses, though.

Even with ^ you won't get an updated version until somebody runs an install and updates the lockfile. We have things like dependebot for this. https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/tutorials/secure-yo.

I do this, but beware if you have LFS files. You can easily get into weird states with LFS pushing up to two different remotes and it's really not fun to fix.

I usually reach for ky these days since it's an extremely lightweight wrapper over `fetch` - basically just adds a few niceties https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky From the readme: - Simpler API - Method shortcuts

We noticed this and spent a week or two going through and cleaning up tests, UI components, comments, and file layout to be a lot more consistent throughout the codebase. Codebase was not all AI written code - just many humans being messy a

I ended up just paying the $4/mo for syncing my personal vault, mostly to support the project but also because it's nice to not have to think about it. At work, we just have what we call "brain" repos where we all just d

I was using vimwiki with a ton of plugins for many years before Obsidian came along. It was very nice to be able to open all of my notes in a UI made for editing them.

In Seattle we have a sizeable mechanical keyboard community that does a monthly meetup. It's a great way to try out different switches/keycaps/layouts/etc. It's worth seeing if there's anything similar near you
