Seems like that would add significant cost for something that can be done well without it.

There are groups of people using the same terms for different things, and getting into arguments where there could be agreement.

There's a diverse set of people on the spectrum between formally trained and self taught people in software development. Terms can get borrowed from places like academic research and get (mis)applied before they are understood.

The REST in industry software is essentially JSON RPC (no, not that one) mapped to HTTP methods. That's a mouthful, so people just say RESTful, despite it not quite being RESTful according to the original notion of REST.

Yes, industry-RESTful isn't necessarily RESTful according to original Roy Fielding definition, but trying to redefine a widely used industry term is unlikely to win one friends at dinner parties.

In other words, this probably won't directly involve changes to ghostty.

The fascination with LLM coding seems rooted in the new ability to create something with very little effort. Unfortunately, some people do not see the trade comes at the moment you have to evaluate the output for fitness or quality.

It turns out that you often need to understand the thing pretty well in order to be qualified to determine the quality of the output. That tends to dilute time gains, unless you leave off the evaluation step.

Unprofessional? Maybe a little, but honest, and while the truth isn't flattering to Jarred, I'd say generally kind.

Embarrassing? Not from my seat. Andrew is just revealing the relationship dynamics between a principled programming language developers and pragmatic business users of that language.

I had already inferred a bunch that this post confirms based on the agentic port from forked-Zig to Rust. It's very nice to have suspicions confirmed.

I honestly don't think windows is worth any price. Unix is the platform of builders, and nobody needs a middleman charging them to breathe air (run an os).

For desktop use, sure, $45 could fly, but, the main draw of windows is compatibility with existing software, and honestly that is no longer worth it.

Yeah you are, you go girl.

The Steam Machine is the best of both worlds, yes, it is a plain PC and Valve is recognizing that. However, they are also selling a fully supported Linux gaming rig that plays many Windows games out of the box.

That might not excite everyone, but it does me.

If we need unbounded growth to jeep our economic system to function, its the economic system that is wrong, not nature.

I've found that most of that autonomy comes with trust, and that trust gets unlocked via good relationships, and good relationships get unlocked by a history of good communication.

You are 100% correct that every person has agency, the trick is to get yourself into a social dynamic where it is acceptable to assert it.
