Could you tell us more about your grandma point of view (if she ever told you more of course). With age I'm becoming jaded with computing, not personal computers per se, but the overwhelming space taken by them now (especially due to c

Not really, I knew it was radically strange in its philosophy.

I find admirable how every era was filled with fights on just about every detail. Keys included, layout, shape, meaning. And now nobody pays attention that any of this at all. Very strange and funny at the same time.

it's strange to see software engineers using skills aka human description of small scripts instead of scripting things directly. often there were cli / tools / libraries to do what a skill does for many years. maybe it's

looks like an informal DSL for specs that brings back some quantifiable structure, how many people follow the same ? also, i wonder if people who did MDD (model driven development) have embedded AI in their methodology

hehe. alternatively dotnil would have sounded closer to dotnet while hinting at lisp terminology and history

Well, Moggi's paper on monads is from 91 and wadler first tutorial from 92. Am I missing something ?

Very very nice timeline ! some interesting papers from the 90s section. Maybe they could add https://github.com/VincentToups/emacs-utils/blob/master/mona... . I found J.V. Toups writing very nice, and us

I was wondering how people feel about this trend. LLM allow you to free yourself from foundations (frameworks, programmable programs) to just generate any support layer you want from old or new libs. This is all very understandable.. yet I

But is the debate about "fleshing out a system spec" or "ability to come up, plan and explore various ideas to solve problems elegantly on a budget" ? I think there's always these two sides conflated as one when dis

Yeah, I don't know why this never popped on my radar. I read Abrash books long ago, MS employees blog too, its history around the creation of UIs (xerox/apple and all that), the OS/2 era .. and I never saw his name (or maybe

Who else is trying to leverage the situation so that they don't dig their own grave too fast ? - I often don't ask the LLM for precompiled answers, i ask for a standalone cli / tool - I often ask how it reached its

https://series.sourceforge.net/ this is the SERIES package you're referring to ? sorry, mostly a CL newb here, it's the first time I read about it

I see. So if IIUC, it's similar to programmable pocket calculators too, and it's very enjoyable to have a physical key per language construct.

It's a very interesting topic. Even when designing a system, how to modularize, it's healthy to wait until the whole context is in sight. It's a bit of a black art, too early or too late you pay some price.

I never saw any structured editor on these machines, how did they operate ? grammar guided insertion ?

Thanks a ton :)

I personally noted that I'm starting to use some LLM idioms "it's not just .. it's .." and I don't like it. I'm actually trying to stop using computers and read books to replenish my mind with more diverse

Depending on people workflow/mindset we often face stacked branches, lots of fixup commits, and over the years new git commands and tricks emerged to deal with that but not in cohesive way I guess. JJ seems (I only tried it a short whi

Do you remember articles or books about this ? I'd be curious to read more

I wonder if there's some implicit wisdom that layering/modularizing incurs some communication cost that can cancel all the benefits.

Some people (albeit probably not a lot) are really doing this for complex life threatening cases: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47556729 (gitlab founder leveraging AI tools to find cure for his rare cancer)

I often wonder if we should create company shuffling app, to improve coworker matching. Some of my colleagues hate me because "I work too much", I hate them because "they fake work".
