I tried Warp back when it first came out, but haven’t really considered switching to it since then. What do you really love about it?
This was a really good talk! I’ve been using git for about a decade, but I learned several new things. Here’s a few:

Are you familiar with the concept of “atomicity” in relation to database systems? It’s actually a very appropriate term, and the article touches on its use over “immutable”.
Would Homebrew work for this? I use it in WSL for all my CLI programs.
Same. I only got through day 3 last year since I didn’t have time to do both the learning and the solving. I think I need a longer term project to give me more focus when learning a new language. This year I’m just sticking with my usual language Elixir, which I always enjoy.
While I agree that a lot of the hype around AI goes overboard, you should probably read this recent paper about AI classification: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.02462
Systems like DeepMind are narrow AI, whereas LLMs are general AI.
As a JetBrains Mono user for the past couple of years, I used Monaspace all day this past Friday to try it out, and it was not for me. The oval shape of JetBrains Mono glyphs is so aesthetically pleasing to me, and I don’t think I’d be able to switch to another font that doesn’t have similar styling.
It weakens it a bit, but in my opinion it still has strength where it counts. If an attacker gets access to your password outside your password manager (man-in-the-middle, keylogger, phishing), then you’re still protected. Maybe it’s hubris in my own ability to keep my password manager safe, but I’ve never been worried about storing MFA in my password manager.
I changed my VS Code theme to Dracula around Halloween 2016 for fun. I never changed it back.
Keybindings really can make a huge difference, whether they’re existing ones you discover or ones that you create.
I remember discovering VS Code’s default key binding for “going back” to the previous cursor position (going across files), which is Ctrl±. That really reduced the mental load of keeping track of which functions/files I was visiting and made me feel more at ease jumping around, knowing I could easily get back to where I was. If you need more context on some code you’re writing/reading, you can more easily go off on little tangents to gather whatever context you need, and that speeds the whole process up.
Skipping React hydration… so, only rendering on the server? BBC just re-invented server-side rendering, bravo 👏😆
I say this as an 8-year React developer. Damn, our industry really drank the kool-aid on on this one. Of course, plenty of people have been saying that React for static content like this has always been a misapplication of the tool, I’ve been reading opinions like that the entire time I’ve been working with it.
I’m glad BBC is doing this, though. Legitimate kudos to them for recognizing the issue and working towards fixing it. I actually think there are some great benefits that React has given us:
I would be happy if React was supplanted in the near future, but I also have some fondness for it. I know I’m way off topic on this post, just felt like talking about React.
