How do you use it in relation to claude?

I’ve felt burnt out- it’s pretty exhausting reviewing and testing code all day

Idk what car you have but mine can drive right away, just like Zed.

Two things to consider: - When reading generated code, which programming language would be the most readable to you? - Which programming language guides AI to write correct code using language features or guardrails?

There you will find your answer.

OMG

It’s funny, when I was younger, it was all about MSN messenger, MySpace (esp the music player on there), and forums. That’s the old web I remember from before. No personal blogs, really. (Again I’m not old enough to remember before that)

You should read the whole article… (or even better, watch the UtahJs talk )

I’m on board

I can see your point. Thanks.

If you've never seen anyone work with syntax highlighting off, there are some YouTube videos that inspired me to try coding with syntax highlighting off:

1. "Hacking with Andrew and Brad" - Andrew Gerrand (previously on the Go core team) uses Vim without syntax highlighting.[0]

2. "Advanced Embed With Go Generate - Andy Walker" -- this guy uses bold/italics/few colors in his editor. Interesting visual on how you can use font to show different aspects of the code.[1][2]

3. "Visual Studio Code, No Syntax Coloring, Go Fonts" [3]

4. "stb programming FAQ" - Sean Barrett answers why he uses VC6 and why his syntax highlighting is so minimal.[4]

Why do you hate autoindent? Have you seen issues with autoindent while developing? Vim `set autoindent` works well when configured with how you do tabs for a given language (ie `set sw=2 sts=2` for JavaScript)

For VS Code users, I have a collection of themes without syntax highlighting https://vscodethemes.com/e/ryanolsonx.distilled/fogbell?lang.... Some are rough around the edges, but right now I'm using my port of Fogbell and enjoying it.

I love coding with syntax highlighting off. The signal from linters or other code analyzers ends up jumping out more when other things aren't highlighted.

As a staff engineer that reads a lot of code, I go without syntax highlighting. Things are just fine.

How does this compare with Conduit? [1]

I love Arc. They've built a browser that's truly so pleasant to use.

Light themes represent

The hug of death doesn't bode well for the approach.

Acme is an interesting text editor for development. I've used it for React.js development before. Because of how you can script it, I could run Prettier on save and a few other things you'd normally expect in the JS world.

This is really cool. I dig it.

I like that there's a Sublime Text package for it. Seeing my plain text todos with nice syntax highlighting is a perk.

I maintain a Zenburn color scheme[0] for Sublime Text. After playing with this, I added specialized support for [x]it! and I think it looks pretty good[1].

I don't think people used static site generators to make websites back in 1999. Why not edit raw html?

Also, Sea Change from the author of Zen Habits blog: https://seachange.zenhabits.net/

I really like your comment.

switched to a language that built and ran faster

Which one did you switch to?

RSS came to my mind too. If everyone self-hosted something that gives an RSS feed, your social network feed could really just be an RSS reader.

If I'm understanding his correctly, google actually changes the HTML to have these anchor tags?

You can't just "get rid" of FOSS software. It'll live on. :)

How do you keep things fast?

Lambda functions can have cold starts that introduce latency. How do you manage that?

(From my small amount of experience - please prove me wrong.)

I thought this post was going to be about stability. It is _not_ stable. That's the biggest problem.

“Put up your hand if you like or maybe even love your smartphone,” I asked the audience of policymakers, industrialists and students.

Nearly every hand in the room shot up.

“Now, please put up your hand if you trust your smartphone.”

One young guy at the back put his hand in the air, then faltered as it became obvious he was alone. I thanked him for his honesty and paused before saying,“We love our phones, but we do not trust them. And love without trust is the definition of an abusive relationship.”

For this and other reasons, I'm switching to the Light Phone 2 [1]. I get it later this month. Devices like this don't solve all of our problems, but they certainly solve many.

My advice would be to quit chasing exciting frameworks.

Pick something that has been around a while (Ruby on Rails, Python with Django, Java Spring) and go with it.

Focus on performance once it becomes a problem. In python, you can rewrite parts in C that need a speed improvement.

Otherwise, focus on making a great product that solves a problem for your users.
