With productivity being measured as what, exactly?

The Venn diagram of "discussions about LLMs" and "Idea Guys Talking" is close to a circle in my experience.

I have to actively, preemptively teach passengers how to open the door lest they crank it open manually, instinctively. My dad opened it manually 3x before understanding what I was saying.

What is the value making main.go as small as possible?

Whose dreams come true in this scenario?

I've used Terminus and Prompt in the past on iOS. For remote dev work over SSH using nvim.

This was going to be my complaint with the headset as well. I use 2x 49" super ultrawide displays, as well as 2x 27" 4k displays. Lots of real estate.

But then I started to think harder about what I was consuming display space with, and started to peel those things out into their Vision or iPad app equivalents. I'll not get into the obvious trade-offs of using iPad apps, but it largely suits the need.

Once I had Slack, Outlook, a Terminal, and TablePlus floating separately from the Mac display, I started to see a path toward potentially not caring if I even had the Mac display.

My teenage daughter came to me with tears in her eyes earlier today and asked me to watch a video. I watched with her and my heart sank. We shed a tear together for them. She had just made a ceramic pig mask at school a month ago, and regularly wears his merch. I'm glad he has been able to touch so many lives positively.

This is exactly why I got involved and support it on Patreon. I played this a ton as a teenager.

It is also written in my favorite language, Go, which means that on my Mac running Catalina this will likely be the only way to play the game in the future. I couldn't even get the game files without using a High Sierra VM. There's also the impending ARM transition, which this project should also easily support.

I only joined the project just this week, but I can tell you that the game isn't playable yet. It launches and runs, allowing you to create a character and walk around in town. Most functionality isn't wired up yet. There are a lot of opportunities to contribute.

There are no plans to support any other games, but it sounds like they expect to be able to use it to create new games.
