If you don't find the stacktrace / variable values / whatever info useful at all, then by all means don't keep it open in your IDE. I personally find it useful and helpful in solving bugs.

Again, programmer ignorance about using GUIs with the keyboard. "scanning through the list visually will take an incredibly long time" Just type the file name. "You have to ctrl-click or do something similar (that's definately not keyboa

If unix shells or powershell give you visibility on the same level as a GUI, I'd be interested.

I could make a one-keystroke shortcut on the GUI too using AutoHotKey, but I wouldn't because of the usual problems and restrictions (Having to do it, having to maintain these for all your computers, having clashes with other programs...)

I mentioned some of my favorite GUIs in the post. These are only GUIs that are relevant to my niche, there's a whole world of GUIs out there that I haven't heard about.

"When I hit "Ctrl-O", I wait a bit for the dialog to be presented and become ready for input." Dude, even on my netbook that dialog appears instantly. Some GUIs are slow, but that means their architecture is wrong. Since my comparison is

I use a scriptable IDE called Wing IDE (for Python only.) I wrote about 5 scripts for it and I use them every day.

by cool-RR 15y ago
A good GUI made for programmers, like Wing IDE, will let you write your own scripts for it and extend it to do anything you want. Also, I think that most of the work that people do, even programmers, is spent doing simple tasks. The median

Sure. But a good developer can work much freaking better with good tools.

Correct, I don't believe in commit messages. Yes, I know this is an unpopular opinion. I might blog about it in the future, making the case for it.

Sometimes it's better to be inflexible. What's better, a development team full of developers who are flexible enough to use a crappy technology, or inflexible enough to move the product to a superior technology? It depends on moving costs a

Wow, that's depressing to hear. What happened to "Vorsprung durch Technik"?

by cool-RR 15y ago
In my experience, using a system that tries to bridge between two technologies like Git and SVN will result in having to deal with a lot more weirdnesses than each technology individually. In general, the amount of bullshit you'll have to d

Totally awesome. Though I kinda wonder, why Simon the Sorcerer, that used to run on a 386, now takes 100% of a processor core of a Core 2 Duo.

Looks very promising. I'm getting the impression that it has a better architecture than Django; I think that if and when it will match Django in level of finish, documentation, community, tools, etc., it might become a serious competitor.

Off-topic: I wonder when Wolfram engineers will discover the technology of Redo (a.k.a. Ctrl-Y,) so I won't have to be mortally afraid of hitting Ctrl-Z and losing my work every time I work with Wolfram Mathematica.
