A bit like LISP then ...

Great stuff. I always love technical fluff about the history and philiosophy of operating systems

How does this compare to https://aframe.io ?

haha, funny, I was thinking the same thing!

Pretty cool.. I had no idea Hal was such a hacker on the personal computers in those days... makes me think of Bitcoin whenever I hear Hal mentioned

Great article. I need to care more myself even if other do not care, thanks for the wake up call!

Almost skipped this as there were no comments. Ended up favoriting it. Thanks :)

I remember trying to help a fellow student in Manchester University around 1991 and thinking I was deleting a subfolder when in fact I was in their home directory:

rm -rf *

: and deleting everything from their Sun Workstation Unix account. Apologies!

Wow, I see you made SQLWindows too. I am in awe!

As someone building a JS type low code tool (yazz.com) which is also open source I am very impressed. Well done!

Ok I'm using cursor again. It is helping me with about 10% of the autocomplete on a very simple one file NodeJS project, but anything more complex it definitely messes it up.

Thanks. I've tried Cursor, but probably more useful on smaller codebases I found and for simple code changes. Can you share the github repo that you use it on, or give me an indication of the codebase size that you use it on?

I “wish” AI would replace me so that I could do other stuff than coding

Yes, I agree with that

Brilliant article. I read a brilliant book written by Jessica Livingston (Paul Graham's wife) called Founders at Work. In the book Steve Wozniak talked about how he got designs done fast by keeping it all in his head. Ever since I read that I have tried to do the same. I would recommend this to anyone working on their own project.

Of course in a corporate setting it is much harder to do as you have code written in multiple languages using multiple patterns stored in different places, so often there is not underlying architectural thread to hold it all together.

I normally love the retool articles but I didn’t understand this one as much. Can someone explain it to me in a simpler way as I really want to understand it

Yeah, building VisualJS, an AI free coding tool:

Bitcoin was not VC funded

As the author of another language with uses content addressable code for all source code (also to aid in shareable code - https://yazz.com/app/homepage.html) I feel that it is really good to see that projects such as ScrapScript use this technique. Well done guys!

Good article. To the author, why don't you do this yourself, I think it is a brilliant idea?

Amazing article and comments! Makes me think we that we are using the world and our senses as a machine learning algorithm to understand things. I wonder what would happen if AI were given the same inputs?

Having worked with several systems using both modules and micro services I would say that using modules is the way to go from a debugging and understandability perspective, so modules are a more productive method.

However micro services can still be valid but to me they are actually “developer UI” and should only be used when services have to be shared between developers who don’t know each other. For example a public API will almost always be an API with a micro service behind it

Amazing. I think I'll keep a park open in the background while working!

Interesting. What do you envision as potential use cases for JS OS?

Very interesting point that multiuser killed desktop apps. Couldn’t desktop apps implement multiuser?

Good article. I predict that in the future government ID shops (like mobile phone shops today) will be everywhere as people will constantly be losing their ID and keys and will keep needing to reverify their identity
