Helix is a beautifully made editor. Looking forward for it to have scriptability and extensibility. I went from VS Code to NeoVim and can’t be happier. Not saying that VS Code isn‘t a good product. It‘s actually everything you need in an ed

There is so much hidden cost in maintaining your own bare metal infrastructure. I am always astounded by how people overlook the massive opportunity cost involved in not only setting up, securing, and maintaining your bare metal infrastruct

So you think money is the indicator? I have to disappoint you: There's a ton of things that have zero monteray value, yet an enourmous value for the person who creates it. One example: Open source software. Another: Art you create for

Well, very valid points you made. I must admit. Edit: But why do you believe that my super polished and streamlined WezTerm is less worth than a japanese sword? :) Which value has a perfectly made sword in a world today? Which value has a p

Tinkering is the ultimate satisfaction of a hacker. When you love perfecting your tools, shaping your terminal, your Emacs, your Neovim, or whatever tool you use, exactly the way you want it. You spend hours doing it and feel enormous satis

You can instruct Claude Code to commit in your name. Tell it in the CLAUDE.md file. Or add via `# Commit as xyz` and it will memorize.

I am in Germany, so I cannot recommend any. Just one without any supplements, just melatonin.

Not in my case. Never had this sleep quality. But maybe it's placebo after a few weeks? :)

Tangential: Have had sleep disorders my whole life. Until I read an article here about melatonin (an article that was about substances that have an effect on longevity). So I started taking melatonin every night, 0.5mg. I must say: Never ha

Because one is an intellectual activity, the other is not. You cannot expect the 60+ year old coach to run and train with the team members. But you can as a CTO try out technology, open the terminal, run a docker container to see the techno

This is not really a good analogy. Tech is different. I am not saying you should sit down and write code. But in IT you know the difference between a tech lead who knows technology, who knows what works, for what reason. And the one that ju

I have a question to the CTOs here, honestly asking: How can you have your team work on cutting edge technology without understanding the technology by getting your hands dirty, open your terminal, tinker with the technology, look into it,

Anything but TextEdit, for heaven’s sake. Sublime, BBEdit, Zed, and any other alternative is a thousand times more useful. Does Apple make any professional, polished, sophisticated apps? It’s their hardware and OS, but apps?

This says more about Meta than about where AI is heading. For me personally my work, my life has transformed dramatically, literally, since 2022, since OpenAI launched ChatGPT and what followed then. I feel like having a dozen assistants wh

Ahh, memories. I started hacking in Emacs on my Amiga 2000 in 1988. And later in Turbo Pascal in 1991ish. When I saw Visual Studio years later, or Visual Basic, these IDEs were doing so much more, but I‘d lose the ability to fully control t

So many new options. NeoVim and Helix in terminal, Zed as a beautiful GUI editor. - A few years ago I thought it’s Emacs/vim for us hackers, and for the rest it’s Sublime, and later VS Code, and then comes nothing. But wow, here we are

I have a very extensive neovim setup, and was reluctant to try out Helix, but this morning I installed it, and I am totally amazed what this editor delivers out of the box! Woooow! This is unbelievable. Totally fast, smooth, and has all the

There is no future for Replit considering how Anthropic, OpenAI and Google are moving into dev tools. And then there‘s Cursor and the likes. As an online IDE they would have had a chance. But when they pivoted into AI, they decided to enter

Too late. Sold my Synology NAS a few weeks ago and moved on to TrueNAS. - I absolutely despise when companies get greedy and try to get the maximum out of their customers. Adobe does this. Apple does this. And some other companies.

What bothers me more is Amazon limits the products you can see. When you search for a product type (say a USB Hub), it will show you constantly the same set of products. While you scroll, it repeats the products that are sponsored, sprinkli

Programming language choice is determined by the task at hand. If you want to create frontend web apps, it’s JavaScript/ Typescript. If you want to write an OS, it‘s C/C++. If you do data analysis, it’s R/Python. Apple ecosys
