One personal gripe: Compared to the default terminal, ghostty, close the terminal on ctrl+d.
Cool stuff. I prefered the experience with lk but i always wonder whats the performance like with pipecat

Teams has really poor code block compared to slack or any other tool. You can feel the arrogance of the Microsoft PM each time you paste code or paste text that randomly render as html. Somehow, slack still has a better text input compared to teams.

> If you keep your PRs small

Its not a if. it's necessary for the sake of people reviewing your code. Unless you work alone on your pet project and always push to master you never work alone.

> In a way, stacked PRs are just a higher-level abstraction of this too - same idea, keep work that goes together in the same place.

You downvote me but you just agreed with me. When was the last time you read individual commits of a PR? If your PR need to keep the history of the commits that means that you should split your PR into smaller one.

Re:Git CLI tool for intelligently creating branch names on Friday October 31, 2025 @01:37PM (#45774578)
Commit message should be ephemeral too. Squashing after a PR should be the default. Only at that moment does the PR/Commit message matter.

Re:From VS Code to Helix on Wednesday October 29, 2025 @02:11PM (#45750802)
I agree with all you said. Its an improvment over nvim situation. I still think for common languages like python and markdown lsp should be setup by default. I am not sure if i am willing to forget all the muscle memory I have just yet. Also I miss being able to ZZ to exit my file
Re:From VS Code to Helix on Wednesday October 29, 2025 @10:37AM (#45747415)
Helix boast itself as a no config tool, but you have to find a lsp, installl it, edit a toml to activate it. I dont think we can call that "config less". Success would be something like LazyVim but without the nagging of updates each time you open it.

You should look at django-unicorn for the python equivalent
Awesome man! I am curious to know more about it though. I am thinking to take back my grand parent hotel but i am worried about the small town life
Congrats on shipping. But watch out, the dark theme is not readable on my macbook.

Sorry to be this guy, but why is Nix better than a docker dev container?

Reading this you really have to be a bitter swe to suggest such a thing. Now with llm its so easy to get an agent to deal with all those issues.

sr.ht is such a pain to browse, why would someone pick this over GitHub.
"Europe 2.0" aka "the usa" has a better free speech implementation than "Europe 1.0". So yes different as in bad.
