Nowadays I spend a lot of time in Claude Code and reviewing diffs and code in Vim.I didn't want to learn Vim's window management, so I created a Vim file browser that can run in its own tmux pane.
Same. And if I may, that led me to creating a Vim file browser that runs in a separate terminal (tmux pane!) so I have fewer window navigation shortcuts to remember:

Great idea!

EDIT: I actually updated it to omit the day when it's the first day of the month. So instead of A1, it's just A. In the visual progression, seeing "A" seems to be enough to imply "we're now in August (1st)", and it's a little less visually cluttered when quickly scanning. Hopefully it's still clear, happy to adjust!

> impossible card effects (ex: "shuffle the deck, pick your favorite card from it, hand the deck back to me, your card is the Ace of Diamonds")
There is one deceivingly simple trick that is essentially just that.

Depending on TVs to save you from existential panic doesn’t seem like a sustainable solution.
It’d help if the rest of the world tried to aggressively prevent brain drain by making the respective countries more attractive for work.
Why shouldn't tests catch those far-flung consequences?
> Changing a couple of bytes in a file? Don't change the style. Writing something new? Figure out what's best. Rewriting a big chunk? Make reasonable formatting choices.
This is exactly the type of arguably useless effort we don't want to spend any time on. Having to think about what is "reasonable", "allowed", or "best" is non-negligible cognitive burden for both the writer and reviewer/reader.
This should nearly always include writing integration tests (that run on every change) to ensure you can refactor with confidence.
If there are no tests, the team will waste a ton of time anxiously monitoring and reasoning about the messy code and the impact of their changes.
I’ve always wondered what happens when I move my hand.
If I zoom in close on my hand, does it move like a sprite in a 2D video game? Always on a “grid”, with no way to be in between pixels?
Every day before logging off from work, I write down my todos for the following work day on a blank piece of paper. I close my laptop, tuck the paper in a folder and put both in closet away from sight.
Has worked really well getting things done and disconnecting from work.

Could you elaborate which gatekeepers it will disrupt?

But "#0f0" is fewer letters than "green"?
Tangentially, studying right before sleeping has always been one of the most effective way for me to memorize stuff.
To be fair, the Civic does look a little funny.
But yes, there should be more emphasis on what drives business value (hence on picking a stack that allows providing that value as efficiently as possible), and with the minefield that's modern web development, starting from scratch doesn't seem sensible. The post doesn't go too deep into what they're building though, so maybe I'm missing something.
That doesn't answer the question why do you think that group initially acquired critical mass enticing others to change?
I mean, why do you think that certain crowd has gravitated to iPhones and not Androids?
> The most likely reason is certain crowds in school have iPhones.
Why do you think that is?
Not surprising.
Android software and hardware UX is typically subpar, with very little attention to detail, and things just feel out-of-touch and made by engineers and marketing bots. My hypothesis is all these things contribute to a lack of "coolness" (for lack of better word), which has a tremendous impact on the market.
Surprised this sort of hack would even pass code review.
For contrast, ants have around a quarter million neurons.
> Since the logo had already been created, I couldn’t just go in and change the letter at this point.
Why not?
