Sorry for the late answer and the missing context. usef- is right, the manual is probably the better page to share. Amp tries to give you a plug and play experience, where you can always see the actual costs and models/effort are autoselected for you. Some of my colleagues are big fans and use it a lot. I also like it, but prefer OpenCode.

I tried to:

- Make a simple admin CRUD layout

- Add some widgets

- Add a login/logout section in the navbar

- Make it all responsive

The first three steps worked amazingly. But the final step was probably just too difficult and I got some broken-looking site.

Still nice though, good job.

Z – Jump around 3 years ago

I have been using z for many years now, and I cannot recommend it enough. This is one of the most useful tools ever.

Oh, that was fun; great article! During my MA, I wrote a paper on Swedish Melodic Death Metal lyrics and what common themes they have. I can't seem to find the paper now, but I remember having a blast. I think the result was something like anger, violence, and loyalty/brotherhood.

He's got a point. TypeScript alleviates some pain, but I still feel like JS is not a great language. I have some nostalgic love for it because I used to be "the JavaScript guy" at the beginning of my career. But ever since I started using TS and Go, using Vanilla JS feels like fighting code smells and complexity all the time. At the same time, I acknowledge and appreciate how much JS has improved.

The Io Language 3 years ago

Io was featured in the book "Seven Languages in Seven Weeks: A Pragmatic Guide to Learning Programming Languages", which I can recommend.

SVG Backgrounds 3 years ago

Yes, $15/month is a little steep. SVG backgrounds are nice, but who needs so many for so much money...?

Homebrew 4.0.0 3 years ago

Working on a Mac wouldn't be the same without Homebrew. Thanks for all the hard work!

I am not a big fan of nesting. I have yet to see a codebase where nesting makes CSS more readable. Even with BEM, I find it easier to reason about (and debug) the vanilla style. However, I must admit that `&:hover{}` does have a certain appeal. Also, I am very happy that nesting can be done without tooling in the future. It's a feature that many people love.

The best works of fiction I read:

- Count Belisarius by Robert Graves

- The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell

- The Expanse (all of them)

- Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

And the best books on software development were:

- Fundamentals of Software Architecture: An Engineering Approach by Mark Richards and Neal Ford

- Multithreaded JavaScript by Thomas Hunter II and Bryan English

- The Programmer's Brain by Felienne Hermans

I don't use pain killers at all, but headaches are sometimes the exception. I rarely get a headache (maybe once a month?) but when I do, I know that it won't go away before a good night's sleep. So I either go to sleep in the evening or take an Aspirin or something when I'm at the office. I just can't work or even properly think with a pounding headache.
