Funnily enough, I've been toying with the idea of building a new service, something like a weird fusion of Github and Reddit, for exactly this use-case. It feels like there should be a good solution for dev-team (or even OSS community)

This actually works even today: child_process.exec('open -a Terminal.app') I'm pretty sure you can pass a script arg to the application too, but I haven't done it in a while.

Not surprised. Some of us have been predicting this for years, but we tended to get shouted down for committing the Slippery Slope fallacy.

I don't remember which conference exactly, but I do remember the gist of the complaints. In no particular order: - tooling (such as sbt) is still poor, even after years of complaints and calls to fix it. - no real roadmap for improveme

Certainly an interesting time to be alive. A part of me thinks we (the rest of the U.K.) should just jettison England and be done with it. They're dragging the rest of us down. [edit for clarity]

Agreed, cost of living in the UK (not just London) is steadily climbing while quality-of-life is dropping through the floor.
