Health insurance isn't tied to a company? Your ability to survive and feed your family isn't tied to your company? Lack of opportunities in the job market? Lack of equal salary/benefits at alternative companies? Non-competes, H1-B visas....

Just one small thing Ben: leave to work for who? Who isn't hiring CEOs and running businesses the same way as everyone else?

I mean.... ParEdit [1] and ParInfer [2] have been around for a long time now. Structural editing is basically ancient. Lispers have been doing this for a long while, `slurp`ing and `barf`ing their parens.

How is it faster to press `*` than `Ctrl-I` in any other rich text editor?

Actually, the entire philosophy of Markdown is that, even if you didn't process it into HTML or some form of rich text, it uses common conventions that have been used across Usenet, IRC, and plaintext files for years, and is thus readable without ever being processed. In fact, you can likely take various plaintext files and process them and they'll gain many incidental markups and highlights.

Meaning, Markdown is Markdown without needing to be turned into HTML or rich text. It is, in itself, a great way to universally markup text as people have been doing online for years.

Yes, Salesforce consumes companies whole. Just like they did with Heroku and others.

Yes, and, Guix is actually a "meta" package manager that understands other packages like Python PIPs and Node NPM packages, so you can define all of that in one build config file.

Rather than wanting the web platform to be first class, they really want it to languish as a second-class citizen. Really sad, seeing as they also fired devs, and invested in "AI" instead.

I could probably use Obsidian/Logseq mobile if I wanted to. (Again, because it's Markdown... which is about universal now.)

And like, it's Markdown. It's meant to be readable as-is, so I can probably figure out any alternative method. I'd obviously miss out on tag searching and graphing, but I don't have heavy mobile use right now.

Edit: Yeah, the GitHub mobile app ain't the worst. I can probably find a way to get local git on my phone, and then just use Obsidian Mobile if I want to get fancy.

Fine, I uhh, I'll speak for it.

Foam is to VSCode, what Org (and Org-Roam) are to Emacs.

As a former org-roam user, I ended up preferring it because my end goal was to convert my notes to HTML and blog posts, and org is poor at that as HTML is not valid org code whereas it is in Markdown. There's just a whole host of markdown-it plugins [1] out there to add footnotes and all sorts of things to Markdown, and Foam also understands Jekyll frontmatter YAML, which is perfect for blog post tags/categories.

And because it's just an extension to VSCode, it works with every other extension: https://foambubble.github.io/foam/user/getting-started/recom...

This gives it similar power and flexibility to Org-Roam, as you can extend the model to improve the editing experience.

So why don't I use Obsidian, Logseq, and others? Because they're dedicated apps, and now I have to bring various half-baked plugins into them to give me the power my editor already affords me. With notes, half your time is spent editing, so why wouldn't you want your editing to be as close as possible?

Secondarily, nothing stops me from using everything altogether, since it's all Markdown, I can load up my note repo in Obsidian or Logseq and others, and continue editing in VSCode and Emacs!

It's just chill and sets the mood.

Under Eric Schmidt they were engineer-driven, during the golden era of the 2000s. Nowadays they're MBA driven, which is why they had 4 different messaging apps from different product managers.
