Ditched it for this very reason... it used to be fine before. I use Codex CLI now, it doesn't drain the battery. I prefer the desktop app but the CLI is ok.

> Django/HTMX seem quite 'old' technologies to me for a new project made in 2026.

It's simple, it works, it's efficient, safe, and there are tons of online resources for it. Excellent choice, even more so when using a coding agent.

Read the title and immediately thought "what a weird way to solve the performance loss with kernel 7..." The mind tricking itself :)

Sorry, but... what ? I could literaly start a business called "Wordpress Rescue Team" and make a living with this if I wanted to get my hands this dirty. The number of times I had to clean the mistakes users do when given an admin panel...

Maybe you'd be surprised by how little some "engineers" know about http cache headers.

Hey, let's call this "forum control" :)

"curl -LsSf https://acme.tld/install.sh | sh" and "xattr -c" ?

Far from ideal and safe but it's still a very common pattern.

Such a great website ! Congrats.

Just tried this yesterday... great experience indeed. Go has archaisms and can be verbose but it's still very much readable and codex catches errors easily.

Performance aside, uv is more standards compliant than Poetry about the pyproject.toml.

But yes, in terms of user interface they are pretty similar. UV performance really does make the difference.

> You ask a machine to write your code and you still care about being easy to read?

I just happen to read what the machine writes, which is a way to both learn and inspect. So yes, I care about the code being relatively (and I stress relatively) easy to read. Go is ok there.

Pretty much my thoughts the other day... now that Codex does the writing, maybe I can finally switch to Go for the web backend stuff without being annoyed by some of its archaisms and gain significant execution performance, while still having a relatively easy to read language.

I see... so now "slop" is not only bad AI code but just any AI code ? And apparently it's ok to insult anyone ("Mindbogglingly stupid as fuck people") that use AI to code. Interesting behaviour.

I don't know about the others but why chardet ? It seems like they did achieve great results with this one.

Yes, even GUIs benefit from having good keyboard navigation.

I like TUIs keyboard-centric. Mouse can be a plus, but it should never be necessary.

Not an accurate 303 emulation but definitely a good acid line :)

I have some hobby sites I host on a raspberry pi and currently I use make mainly because it's so "easy" to just ssh into the machine and run something like "pip install thing.whl && sudo systemctl restart thing" and I can have whatever services + reverse proxy running.

I don't get it either. Worse: it even makes developer lazy as they don't put the effort to ensure their development is portable.
