I still prefer Neovim but I'm glad to see Helix getting some love recently. Hopefully it continues to do well. Last I checked they still don't have a plugin system., I bet they'll see a jump in popularity when that gets goin

Meanwhile Ryan Fleury is writing a cross platform debugger almost entirely from scratch in C.

Seems like a good project. You could develop your own and then work to get them committed back up stream.

I'm aware, I've been following Odin for a few years. I wasn't saying that in judgement. I like Odin and I generally like Ginger Bill's approach to things. That being said it's way to early to say it "never beca

Yeah. If it gets popular enough someone will build one, or get it working with an existing manager.

According to him, some things shouldn't be automated, and dependency hell is one of them. With package managers developers completely lose track of what code they're depending on, the quality of the code, and vulnerabilities it mi

> Many are acting as if writing any code manually means "you're holding it wrong", which I feel it's just not true. It's funny because not far below this comment there is someone doing literally this.

Yeah, I get their motivation for putting it all together, not wanting people to have FOMO and keeping the purchase options simple. But 300 bucks is a lot for an individual to spend. I feel like maybe breaking it up a bit and letting people

From what I can tell this seems like a classic example of devs just not communicating. On mobile I don't see any mention of a "Pro" option on the front page, and I don't see any "essays" about it either. Perhap

Yeah, you're right. The difference is today it's far easier then it's ever been to make cripplingly bad financial decisions.

You have to clear credit checks to get a credit card. Theres also generally a more involved application process (at least a little bit). The added barriers helped prevent the most financially unstable people from getting them. There's

That's a big problem we have right now. It's just way too easy to buy shit you don't need with money you don't have. And the trap of paying over time completely warps your perception of how much you're spending. Eve

I honestly feel like it's getting to the point that we should just disallow credit offers at the point of sale.

I do this when working on personal projects. I don't go this far though. I still like having syntax highlighting, and I have an LSP on to try in editor feedback on syntax errors, but I don't use auto completete or in editor docume

I'm not sure that's true. I've heard him talk in several interviews about using AI tools, including in his editor. Definitely not a minimalist setup.

Totally disagree. I find having both extremely useful. Once I start to get to know a code base jumping through files with telescope is super useful. But when I'm getting spun up on a project and don't know what files I'm look

The whole damn industry is deep in sunk cost fallacy. There is no use case and no sign of a use case that justifies the absolutely unbelievable expenditure that has been made on this technology. Everyone is desperate to find something, but

I was using Debian for a while but the outdated packages were driving me nuts.

It's funny you say that, because I'm trying out CachyOS with Niri right now, and the config they provide was almost exactly what I would have setup myself, so I only had to make a few tweaks.

Not just that but PRs are about a lot more than syntactical correctness, it's also about design. Just this week we've had two PR catch bad design choices that came from a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem space. Even if

There's a lot of annoying stuff it can do fairly well without many guardrails. It's a minor productivity boost but it's nice not to have to do. Doc comments for example. Today I had it generate doc comments for a class I wrot

I think the better way to look at is that no matter how good Linux gets, if MS didn't shoot themselves in the foot it would always struggle to make headway. Even the modest headway it's made over the last couple years. It's n

What mechanism do you propose be used to control the behavior of multi-billion dollar corporations? Many of which have more money and power than most counties.
