The people who can are leaving the internet and moving to using AI models. The people left are the ones who don't know how, or have a bone to pick with them. As an example I've not had to use google for a knowledge search in month

To quote an artist friend: exposure is good until you die from it. Being forced to do subjects that you hate is not exposure, it is being forced to do things which you are completely unsuited for. I would go so far as saying that being forc

No I'm using noweb. There is an option in noweb to add comments in the tangled code with the line and file from which they originate. Then there's an Emacs mode that let's you jump to that code. I wrote a little function that

Again, I'm having a hard time understanding what the issue is. It seems like you are deeply confused about what literate programming is and how it works. Have you read the original paper here in full: http://www.literateprog

No, in noweb programs you insert chunks of code in multiple places and have conflicts when you try and automatically merge the code back too often. Org mode has a function which does this, but they didn't allow for arbitrary chunk nest
