Does HTMX not have some performance gain over JS frameworks? (Never used it before)

Just came back from Singapore and their transit card is the normal kind you’ll find in big cities in the west

Only Japan is on another level

Same. I never have issues with Transmission and actively avoid other feature-rich clients but I guess I'm not a super user

That doesn't counter my point - yes there'll be dependency hell but at the same time fundamental developer tools like code intelligence or basic git operations take eons to complete or need strange workarounds

So code infra/library team benefit from monorepos but at the same time most other developers have to suffer

I don't know about Google but monorepos I've worked in are painful and far from ideal dev experience

Monorepo benefits maybe a small set of developers that manages it for the whole company, at the cost of most other engineers who develop in it. Unnecessary waste of time.

Case in point another new merge queue has to be created to somehow manage the messiness

I like the writing style. The first section is super clear about what QR code is in ~200 words

Yes, I meant the decision to not support MCP by default without plugins, like Skills, could be revisited if it’s now efficient

Interesting, then I wonder if Pi having Skills support but not MCP support by default still makes sense

you can't deny that comes off condescending for a _client_ looking for your business

Then where’s the lie in “soulless AI slop”?

Would you mind sharing some thoughts about fil-c? AFAICT its claims mostly check out so besides implementation details (GC?) it seems directionally good.

Well the author, an expert in Homer, doesn't hold punches that's for sure.

It also shows a literature critic doesn’t really translate into a film critic because this piece is borderline pedantic about the adaptation script and not the movie as a whole.

Of course you'll buy that because "receipts" were only half the story and posting little commentary gives him an edge.
