The Tree Style Tab add-on might be relevant to your interests? It's a little flaky since the switch to new style extensions, but still better than any other option I've seen: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US&#x2F

Rubymine can, with one click, make an ER diagram of your ActiveRecord model -- from the code, not the db schema. That pays for itself right there, especially if you're learning someone else's code base. Try it for a day, you&#x

I think there are two issues: 1) Can you get your technically illiterate grandfather on there? 2) Is it easy to have a good experience without someone guiding you? The distributed answers seem to fail both of those metrics?

Any chance you know of a decent video showing how to teach someone to snowboard? (or ski?) I'd love to understand the best way to do that.

I think you might be missing the main "aha!" of clojure REPLs vs REPLs in non-homoiconic languages: you can very easily execute small parts of the program you're editing without re-typing the code. In emacs, for instance, y

By the time you get to that point, you've won and can afford to hire a team to handle the friction to build out. People scale Rails and Django apps to large customer bases before having to start thinking about how to design for "

And barrier is a fork of synergy before it went quasi-open source that actually works! https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

news.gmame.io isn't a terrible option, if you can find a newsreader.

You can! Synergy does exactly this! However, you almost certainly want the fork, Barrier, now, as Synergy has stagnated. https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

Concourse explicitly wants to not know anything about the outputs of your jobs. Most of the other ci products will have _some_ method (integration with common test runners, markers in output) to figure out how many tests you've run an

It doesn't parse tests. It doesn't track test success/failure/runtime. Because it doesn't parse tests, it can't show you the output from only the failing tests. The UI is horrid. It's so far inferio

The point jangid made above about being able to specify part of the program with only one character makes a significant difference: What I like about Lisp's syntax is that the cursor (point) is always in a complete Lisp program. Yo

Understanding what lisp-ers mean by 'repl-driven development' -- and why a python or node repl isn't it -- is really hard for people who don't get this, and haven't used it in practice.

YES! Preach! Stop making me write DSLs in things that aren't programming languages, and start using programing languages that naturally allow DSLs.

Seems like it would be cool if it (by default?) left you in the nix-shell environment? This would let people who don't grok nix just run `zig`, for instance.

I don't think there's anywhere near a consensus that your statement here is true. In fact, I think it would be a surprise to the majority of the tech community if that were the case.

It has gotten simpler, especially for things like testing safely. If you don't think about it as docker, or containers, the ability to sandbox things with namespaces and cgroups is almost magical. It's effectively instant and
