Efficiency is doing more with less. I'm not sure more tools is the path to productivity.

I'm not sure it counts as a dev tool, but I use Nushell and I'm always surprised at how few devs know about it.

- No IDEs (unfortunately they're all buggy performance hogs with input lag)

- Helix editor (no LSP, no plugins)

- Workmux for Git worktree and tmux automation

- Nushell and iTerm

- Claude Code for code generation

I don't see what this has to do with the notch. There's limited space in the menu bar. The overflow is hidden with or without the notch.

It is a bit weird that Apple hasn't provided a simple UI indicator that some icons are hidden. All that's needed is a dot with a tooltip that opens the settings to configure the menu icons.

I don’t want to reinvent the pull request. I want to commit to main like an adult.

What's the pitch?

I don't. I have Claude do all my PR reviews, running in a daily loop in the morning. The truth is an LLM is better at code review than the average programmer.

I'm a senior engineer who has been shipping code since before GitHub and PR reviews was a thing. Thankfully LLMs have freed me from being asked to read other people's shit code for hours every day.

> While i wouldn't bet money on it, it seems at least possible that something similar could happen to the USA.

Fixed that for you.

Yeah who could have guessed electing a narcissistic moron surrounded by incompetent clowns would result in dumb moves?

Delusional. The GCC has only 40,000 troops.

So what? Milk the VCs dry while you can. It's probably easier to raise $500k for your AI vaporware than it is to get a decent job.

You can’t legally reclassify all your expenses as reinvestment. The IRS will determine what is actually an expenditure, and there are rules around it.

Good. I hope gas becomes so unaffordable the US economy collapses. Maybe they'll lose some weight and it'll improve the healthcare situation.

It's possible to build more housing and have rent control. Rent control is the only thing allowing working class families to live a dignified life in the USA's most desirable cities. Land value tax and social housing are simply not politically feasible – rent control is.

Sounds interesting. I'd like to know more. Can you share a paper or the space emulator?
