As a vim user since the 90s - this is what I've landed on. It pretty easy to disable the vim plugin if you're sharing your computer with a muggle.

I'm having a similar experience. I turned off my “looking for jobs” status a few weeks ago, and just turned it back on, expecting a flood. Never came ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Beautiful. I have a couple of the NuPhy [1] keyboards so I'm definitely in the target market.

The Rotary Encoder is a dealbreaker for me though. I want something slender that I can easily slip into a case or backpack. If it was optional, you'd have a customer!

Why doesn't it work in a VM?

It’s all relative but 100 open issues doesn’t sound bad for a somewhat popular project to me. For example, rust-lang/rust has over 8000.

Regardless, I curious if there were _specific_ issues you had.

And following that, I’m also curious what you moved to instead.

That does not sound like my experience.

Are there GitHub issues for the bugs you mention?

New comment by amrox in "Ask HN: How to find a job in 2021 if I dislike remote?"

amrox — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 12:39:55 +0000

Find a company whose product is primarily physical. I work at a robotics company and much of our staff never went remote.

My team is primarily remote but I’m actually hiring an on-site person for IT.

I use dual LG 24UD58-B’s (one landscape, one portrait) for coding and I’ve been satisfied.

I don’t run them at native res, but this never bothered me. I also don’t game or edit photos or video either.

New comment by amrox in "Bingo – The missing package manager for Go binaries (Homebrew for “go install”)"

amrox — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 12:49:18 +0000

This is what I do as well.

I use Homebrew for general purpose niceties like starship, fzf, and casks.

Project deps are managed with asdf.

The “right answer” may in fact be Nix however. I just haven’t fully grokked it yet.

Is there any kind of remote development support (ssh, docker) in Sublime? That’s the killer feature that keeps me on VS Code.

Many online games have a season model now, and SO at least partially gamifies developer Q&A, so this tracks.

XP, Scrum and agile-adjacent Lean all pre-date the manifesto. The manifesto just tried to put all these ideas under one umbrella.
