If a motivated solo dev thought there might be at least 10,000 people who would pay 100 USD a year for a text editor with better extensibility and performance than VS Code and better defaults/richer GUI APIs than vim/Emacs, I can

Happy to try building one to free you from complaint-driven motivation.

I retry it every now and then and miss the easy extensibility of Neovim. Can we build something that marries both worlds?

Using the same platform-specific graphics API the OS vendor builds their GUI apps with, ideally, but I'll also settle for "not a TUI, not a web application shipped as a desktop app, even if the OS vendor currently builds their GUI

I just want a fast programmable text editor with a native GUI and good defaults. But that seems really tough to find, for some reason. Zed is so close, but I’d much rather see a focus on the “programmable” part and let the AI and collaborat

The speakers suggest that people: 1. Choose a game design to build by copying an existing game loop in a game you like. 2. Build everything you need to make that game. The "don't make your own game engine" advice applies to n

21! At this point WP is “boring technology” which makes it a great choice for many sites. It still does much that's hard to get anywhere else: - The core update process. It's long been one-click. Almost no other CMS or self-hosted

Right, but with improved ergonomics that make Mojo easier to learn and write than Rust, the biggest difference being “borrow by default” as described here: https://www.modular.com/blog/mojo-vs-rust-is-mojo-faster-tha..

Yes! But also games and other hard real-time systems, desktop apps, microcontrollers and so much more… I think it will get there with packaging. (Modular was recently hiring someone to work on Mojo's dev tooling full time, which sounds

Mojo feels like a great fit for so many domains outside of AI. It could be a killer general purpose language. It's easy to read and write, offers memory safety without RC or GC or even much mental overhead, will (eventually) be a super

No, Windows 11 presents two scary-looking popups for unsigned apps: - “Windows protected your PC” with some tiny blurb no-one seems to read and a single button labelled “Don’t run”. - If you do read the tiny blurb and spot the “More info” l

Losing hurts, but: 1. Instead of thinking, "sheesh, I suck" after losing, start thinking, "well played" (even if your opponent was in a losing position and beat you on time or with a sneaky pre-move; they still won). Thi
