Skill issue. It's the most popular VCS in the world by a huge margin, millions of devs use it every day just fine, countless forges have been built around it, and there's only one semi-compelling alternative frontend (jj). If you honestly find Git challenging, how are you coping with software engineering? Git is the easy part.

Wouldn't put too much weight on HN comments boosting AI. Lots of brand new accounts, obvious LLM drivel ("it's not X, it's Y"). I just tried to reply to one to call out how overt it was and the comment was already killed, so they're definitely here.

>It's likely you didn't learn how to use the tool properly

Yeah this gets rolled out every time. Boosters love to pitch LLM dev as some difficult, new 'skill' that must be learned, mastered, revered.

Read somewhere once that trading firms use satellite imagery of shipping to inform trading strategy. Don't know any more about it unfortunately but it sounds interesting.

What exactly abut MobX do you find too magical/implicit?

Seems like "shooting down ideas" here is just "criticism of my idea whose framing hurts my feelings". If you want to light a fire with wet wood and cry because someone points that out, you probably lack the grit to execute anyway. Nobody owes you a sugarcoated explanation of the ways your idea is shit. Grow up.

Yeah it does. If you're happy routing your personal data through software that lacks an author who fully understands what the software does, good for you. Suggesting that this doesn't matter in general is.. not an opinion I'd share publicly.

Meh, 2026 edition of "developers vs coders vs engineers". It wasn't interesting before, it isn't now. People will do development at varying depths and breadths depending on their interest, role, project, and skill. For some reason, some people seem obsessed with this topic. "Coders don't care about CS fundamentals!", "engineers apply rigor"! Snore

Just finished looking at Ink here.. frontend world has no shame. Love the gloating about 40x less RAM as if that amount of memory for a text REPL even approaches defensible. "CC built CC" is not the flex people seem to suggest it is.

>onboard three new devs who would rather gouge their eyes out than decipher an 80-line shell script

If you've just hired a dev who can't/won't read 80 lines of shell, you have bigger problems than GUI vs TUI.

>My competitive edge did not diminish, it expanded.

Reality check: LLMs are available to everyone, dev or otherwise, so your 'competitive edge' is indeed diminished if you believe LLMs are all that.

I have a bash key binding, Ctrl+Y, that prepends sudo to the current command and submits it. I also don't use sudo-rs. No one has died yet.

000ooo000 — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 06:48:14 +0000

So the big token saving was changing a setting that Git already allows you to change?

And does 8ms really matter when you're shunting bulk crap back and forth from the cloud?

*reintroducing

Windows is terminal. Taskbar on the top isn't changing that. It has product manager rot. Good luck ousting the people with the power these days.
