Not always makes sense, especially when the defaults are counterintuitive. Example: I never understood why tmux folks have chosen different key bindings than screen, as their product was meant to replace screen, not to be run like one insid

Yes but they don't defend their view about enterprise product, instead saying they "chatgpt'ed" the license and "can't be bothered with legal", which is IMO even worse - I mean, as a founder how can one be

"Pear Enterprise License, which Pan admitted was written by ChatGPT." I hope it's not a new trend: doing some unethical sh*t and justifying that "AI" did that. I guess handing over creation of a legal document to

Own streaming service for an internet radio, but that's not opensourced atm. It's Go and it seems to be amazing fit. That makes my other project a bit lacking attention, but I will get back to it - a configuration language BCL ht

With all due respect, that's seems like a cliche, repeated maybe because others repeat that already. Working in IT operations (mostly), I haven't seen literally any case of someone's job in danger because of not using &quot

And what about distraction coming from tabbed browsing? How you seen people having 40+ tabs open and claiming, "I don't even know what I'm having here" ..? I've seen this a lot

I wish "any Turing complete language" wasn't used as a catchphrase. Especially that such a claim is so stinky. In what way the Brainfuck programming language environment is giving the coder same experience as Go, huh? Because

Valid points. By the way, maybe this is naive, but what's wrong with Github Discussions?

Well at companies is much less compromise than politics. Over decaces I saw two main schemas: - product must be purchased because its vendor is somehow connected to the upper management or the investor - product must be purchased because th

I respectfully disagree. I can tell about bad development habits from using the software it because code smell (and process smell) stinks. Besides, I was telling not about car repair per se, but about the process around car repairing, which

That's obviously different because at the corp level there are politics involved in choosing one vendor over another, but at the same time wheverer I'm involved in the decision process I care to avoid these products as hell.

"customer could not care less". This perspective is too narrow, or even a fallacy, often repeated to justify abandoning some good practices. Oh yeah customer cares. If I leave my car in a workshop, I care whether mechanics have on

I think the root of bad reputation was due to various plugins and their usage pattern: lots of non-tech users heard that they can use plugins X Y Z for fun and profit, so they started to use them, but no one told them that managing dependen

There is also SQLite varint, https://sqlite.org/src4/doc/trunk/www/varint.wiki IIRC different from both Leb128 and VLQ, and quite neat. It's for 64bit (u)ints, though

It's funny how uncritical protecting of mr Altman became a kind of religion for some, probably because such people might have certain hopes with his product, so they uncontrollably loose themselves in this view that everything he does

Hmm, IIRC Paul Graham also used vi most of his coding years. So yes, great things can be accomplished with vi in the Lisp galaxy.
