FOMO is legit though. Every organization has an obligation to assess if LLMs and OpenAI(-like) can improve their workflow. No need to expect much of it, but every org should know what they’re missing on or why they’re not missing on anythin

As an example jQuery literally started as a wrapper lib around JS features, and it became so influential over time that tons of features from jQuery were upstreamed to JS. Yes, wrapping stuff to give a different developer experience contrib

Or maybe it’s done because people like to try and experiment new things, see what works and what doesn’t, with sometimes surprising results. I thought the name of this site was Hacker News, let people do weird things

Which bugs? I’ve been ready for 5 years as it’s the duration I’ve been testing my storage layers with 90% integration tests (the 10% being the hard to reproduce error cases, these tests have low value but are easy to test with mocks so I st

If you want. Replace mock by fake in my post and you get the same thing. It means I’m using fakes too when I’m not doing dependency inversion, so no mocks either For what it’s worth, I find the distinction between mocks, fakes, spies, stubs

That’s… not true? No matter how you define your dependencies to inject, if you want to mock the dependencies you inject you have to mock them (it’s almost tautological), no matter if you use dependency inversion or not Maybe you mean "

What's the use case for duplicating an issue? Maybe you want issue templates instead?

It’s not insufferable if it’s silent. In the case of iTerm, the reaction of the vocal minority was atrocious, and completely entitled towards an amazing open source maintainer

Don’t confuse the vocal, insufferable minority with the silent majority (who either doesn’t care, mildly enjoys, or embraces AI features)

FINALLY! I really didn’t it to come to Mac, ever. Now so just need a clipboard history manager, a way to make cmd+tab behave like Windows alt+tab, a way to mute the mic in the status bar, and a different setting for the trackpad/mouse

Cool alternative! I want to keep using my default calendar on my personal laptop so I’ll probably use this instead of Notion Calendar, thanks for the post

The only example I have in mind is modules, which can have a different name from their root package. For example you can have github.com/user/go-module as module name, and "module" as package name, so "import github

No, no, and no. The way macOS handles split screen is objectively bad, that's not an opinion. It's clunky, slow, not very discoverable, not intuitive, and is painful to use because it requires using the fullscreen mode. Windows do

Being opinionated is good, but at some point you have to realize when you went the wrong path. Window management on macOS is terrible, period. This isn't just force of habit or "just another way to do", it sucks. Even command

Not everything is a UI issue though. Some software just is complex. There's nothing wrong with asking for help, be it with an AI or with a colleague.
