How do you suppose someone goes back to viewing all categories without another button?

Nothing to be surprised of.

Re:Where's the shovelware? Why AI coding claims don't add up on Wednesday September 03, 2025 @08:22PM (#45121945)
Agree. In the hands of a seasoned dev not only does productivity improve but the quality of outputs.

If I’m working against a deadline I feel more comfortable spending time on research and design knowing I can spend less time on implementation. In the end, it took the same amount of time, though hopefully with an increase of reliability, observability, and extendibility. None of these things show up in the author’s faulty dataset and experiment.

Re:Where's the shovelware? Why AI coding claims don't add up on Wednesday September 03, 2025 @08:15PM (#45121899)
Agreed. Agentic AI is a completely different tool than “traditional” AI.

Im curious what the author’s data and experiment would look like a year from now.

Then there are those who are augmenting their winch with LLM usage.

> I stand by my assertion that these tools are all basically the same fundamental tech - LLMs.

Over generalizing. The synergy between the LLM and the client (cursor, Claude code, copilot, etc) make a huge difference in results.

I haven't used Claude Code. But one major difference is Q Cli is $19/month with generous limits.
I've had great results with the Amazon Q developer cli, ever since it became agentic. I believe it's using claude-3.7-sonnet under the hood.

Not as seamless as one might like. I stream games from my PC using moonlight. So far it's worked well.
I recently jumped ship from Apple to Android after being a diehard apple user for 10+ years. So far I am enjoying no longer being constrained by Apple's ecosystem and way of doing things. Worth noting Android and OS integrations are significantly less polished, but any technical user would be able to recreate the same features. I'm now using a S23Ultra + Tab S9 Ultra.

My thoughts exactly.
Surprisingly good. It's noticeable with some graphics intensive games, but I've never found it distracting.
Why is this a stretch? A vast majority are using this ultralight laptop for gaming.

Not until switching to pulumi, did I realize Terraform is a lot more polished and simpler to read/use.
Re:I Stopped Using Multiple Monitors on Thursday October 07, 2021 @11:54PM (#28795574)
One monitor is for code and one is for docs, communication, misc programs I don’t need to focus on.

I don’t find this a distraction as my main monitor is code pretty much all the time. A quick glance I find less distracting than swapping desktops.

Eating coal like beef, would make a big increase in greenhouse-gas emissions.
As are managers that conform to archaic tech when better options exist.

magit for the emacs folk
Re:Benefits of Not Using an IDE on Saturday August 21, 2021 @12:18PM (#28258152)
I share the same sentiment after using IntelliJ w/ Pycharm for a little over a year.
Re:Benefits of Not Using an IDE on Saturday August 21, 2021 @12:15PM (#28258127)
This.

1. Optional: do install of neovim 2. git pull dotfiles 3. cd dotfiles 4. install.sh 5. Profit $$$

Sure, there's some initial setup time but I'm not seeing how its orders of magnitude faster unless your vim config is super bloated and/or has a lot of external dependencies.

Re:Benefits of Not Using an IDE on Saturday August 21, 2021 @12:11PM (#28258082)
I'm on my way back to doom emacs after a year using intellij + ideavim.

I get 90% of the features with LSP. Faster performance. Magit. Extreme configurability. It's easier to write a quick function in elisp and have it at my fingertips at anytime. (ie. M-x my/do-repetitive-thing)

Re:Benefits of Not Using an IDE on Saturday August 21, 2021 @12:06PM (#28258047)
Does emacs/vim using lsp count as an IDE?
