This is good stuff :) Honestly, I am having a lot of fun just using org mode files as prompts and eventually output for a Claude Code instance in vterm. All these files get saved with the output and magit is of course amazing, just good affordances and history keeping.

iPad Pro 8 years ago

Interestingly, one place where this race to the bottom is NOT present is in iPad music apps, synths and DAWs. Prices range from 10 to 50, and the apps are polished.

Not your typical enterprise shop. We're looking for North American web developers or PeopleSoft developers who are looking to push the platform. We work with Fortune 500 companies and some big name higher ed institutions alike, using copious amounts of HTML/CSS/Javascript to create beautiful, usable PeopleSoft implementations. We were recently profiled by the PeopleSoft blog. Competitive salary, smart co-workers, great projects. If interested, shoot over a resume to careers@intrasee.com. (Note that you don't have to have PeopleSoft experience, we're willing to train great devs.) Thanks.

The Air is a somewhat paradoxical machine in that it is extremely portable and therefore perfect for travel, which is when you often lose the data connection and therefore need more power to run VMs! You, however, don't have that problem, if indeed you are most often working from home. In the case you describe, definitely go for the Air, or wait a few months to see if the Air gets a retina screen. I have an air, and it is difficult to consider going back to anything even slightly bulkier.

This is what we have with an Oracle product: Vanilla - no sample or legacy data, no dev Sandbox - oracle sample data, no dev Conversion - legacy data, no dev Dev - "scrambled" legacy data, dev Config - functional team environment setup Test - config and dev together, unscrambled user data Test2 - I have no idea why this here, but it is :) Training - for training users, selected legacy data and dev PreProd - everything after test and before prod Prod

Given that each environment has an app server, a web server, two or more batch servers and a database, I can vouch that a fubarred deployment workflow is hell. You end up with no baseline to tell if your process is bombing due to configuration or code.

I am unfortunately reminded of this every workday. The money spent on licences and inept consultants is obscene. The tools are ancient, the code unreadable, modules grafted on after various other companies were bought. I often get told how much money there is to be made in consulting, and alternatively how one can never learn all of Peoplesoft. As much as the former is comforting, the latter is depressing. I just want to be able to code in emacs for a living...
