<p>How so? The code and reasoning patterns certainly match, so does the intelligence level. I probably wouldn't know if they're secretly serving Luna instead of Sol, but it's definitely an OpenAI model.</p>

<p>> Vim users seem often quite happy with the vim emulation they get<p>Its better than nothing, but usually only lets you use vim bindings for text editing itself. Compared to neovim, where the entire editor and the plugin ecosystem is fully based on the same keyboard-driven workflow, it's quite lacking. For example, I remember that when using VSCode with its Vim mode plugin, it took quite a bit of configuration to be able to switch to the file tree and navigate it with the keyboard, and it still didn't work that well due to inherent limitations of the software.<p>Another huge example is Neogit. If you're an Emacs user, you probably use Magit, which Neogit is heavily inspired by, so you'll understand. Having it integrated into your editor and working with the same shortcuts is very nice and can't be replaced by vim emulation mode.</p>

Its much easier for many people to reason about a problem by writing and changing the code, and it's also why LLMs can significantly reduce code understanding even if you read everything they wrote.</p>

<p>> almost involuntary gesture<p>Exactly, which is why attaching large UI shifts to that involuntary gesture makes the experience feel very unpredictable<p>> activating your browser's reading mode<p>Reading mode is a hack that's only needed because sites aren't already readable. You shouldn't have to activate it to be able to read the content.<p>In addition, it doesn't always work well if the website didn't test it. On your website, for example, it removes all images from the text.<p>> Having to click or tap a button requires the user to stop, evaluate whether the title interests them<p>Purposefully doing things in a way that doesn't let the user decide if they want it is called a dark pattern. Its not far from those checkboxes that try to trick you into accepting marketing newsletters. "We can't give users an option to <i>think</i> if they want our emails! If they don't, why don't they just use their email's spam filtering?"<p>You may not see it like that yourself, but huge links to your CV, talks and courses are exactly that - an ad that covers half the screen.<p>You have multiple people telling you the experience is bad, and you asked for why, but when people give you the explanation you argue back. That's fine of course, it's your own site and you can do whatever you like with it without trying to suit anyone. But that doesn't make the reader experience less bad.</p>

<p>Yes, but when I stop scrolling and scroll up even a little bit (by accident, or because I want to scroll up and read something I missed) they appear again. I think the only good UX possible is to have a button to show/hide them instead.</p>
