Just tried Claude code. First impressions, it seems rather expensive. I prefer how Aider allows finer control over which files to add, or to use a sub-tree of a git repo. Also, It feels like the API calls when using Claude code are much faster then when using 3.7 on Aider. Giving bandwidth priority?

I don't deny we know how to raise delicious veal or piglets. But it's stipulated in EU law that we have to downsize this sector eventually. It's not a popular move at all, and it seems pointless with regards to China or India. Still it needs to happen in the long run.

And you think Holland is an agricultural friendly region? You have clearly never seen the amount of glass houses from a satellite photo of Holland. They cover a vast area!

Polluting farms will get downsized in Holland over time.

Most comments seem to miss the point that The Netherlands is the second largest exporter of food in the world. That the agricultural sector needs to be downsized particularly in NL seems rather obvious. Sadly this goes against populist interests and a handful of very rich private interests in the country.

The posted extension is about using vim key bindings to navigate links and other useful common commands. Firenvim is about embedding an nvim instance in an text input field. Apples and oranges.

Working on projects that were meaningful to me personally.

After a certain amount of time (years), I could troubleshoot any bug. No need to reach out to others to solve bugs. I will always find a way.

Using GNU/Linux as daily driver. Helps with dev-ops enormously.

Lastly linked to the above, learning the full-stack.

Am I a success.... na. But I consider myself a success in terms of being self-taught.

To some degree this is solved when using stow and a dedicated ~/dotfiles directory. No need to dig around in ~/.config

But I agree with Pike. ls -a in the home sir, becomes an unorganized mess with all those apps that don't use the xdg default .config folder.

Rather convolution article. First mentioning economic scarcity then moving onto 'good ideas' like Unix. I'm missing the central thread that ties it all together.

If anything it was the antithesis of Unix, namely GNU with its specific license that protects the users freedom, that was really the revolutionary idea, thank you RMS. Of course Unix, the work by Thompson, Ritchie etc brought extensibility and endless creativity to the development/app space. Ie write programs that do one thing well and able to connect those through pipes and ultimately through networks. The cli interface is ancient, but its here to stay for a very long time indeed.

Not sure of the point that my comment is making. Meh. Happy Friday.

My therapy is Brazilian jiu-jitsu. It's basically active meditation. When someone is trying to choke you unconscious, you are not thinking about the past or future. It's not just exercise that makes you exhausted, you become an assassin. And it's very social!

I personally love the neovim community. The subreddit is full of helpful people and the core developers / contributors are absolutely wonderful people. Everytime neovim has a major release, there is a presentation and plenty of interviews with said wonderful people.

This is just an honest assessment of one individuals experience. I've heard it myself from my father who was at the top of Europe's largest corporation. He definitely is an expert in his field, but still had a healthy dose of doubt and was clearly honest with himself. Hubris is a far more dangerous imo.
