Now why would you hate lua of all things?

Godot will be familiar to you if you then.

Löve on the other hand is 100% just code. You'll not have the gui things and the pletora of different components that go with them. Still gives you freedom. Just too much freedom and not as much helpful preset tools.

> since people apparently can't read

I know Free and OpenSource software is only available thanks to maintainers who spend their time and money to make it available. This type of sentence though, makes all I just mentioned easy to forget, when they take that tone with you.

in the past few years, OpenAI and other companies like it have received relatively the same amount of money the USA has spent on weapons for the past 70 years it seems. so relative to that, yes, it is cheap...

nah. tell him, you're in a race. others are using motorboats. the last to reach the finish line loses their salary. that's a better analogy, or at least what a lot of people think the analogy is.

AI isn't an adequate replacement for experienced software engineers, that is true.

But employers think it is, and are falling for the hype and are affecting engineers left and right regardless.

Whether I'm wrong or they're wrong is immaterial.

They're still replacing SWEs with AI.

I wonder just what goes into someone's mind, when they do not care about who in the future is gonna have to maintain what they've crafted. Nor care about the experience of the user. Nor even feel accountable when they haven't done their due diligence to do things right.

Believe me I have tried. And already have made my config. Took me weeks, and is still no closer to getting to be up to par with what I get with helix out of the box.

It also is just super slow on windows unfortunately.

But one day, one day I'll switch

Your comment reeks of "I am a programmer and think CSS is not worth my time, it's for designers, eww"

Which is the actual issue. Learn CSS and treat it as part of the web stack.

No. It's because you didn't bother learning css. It's right there in the title

Before getting into Zed, I had fallen in love with Helix. that one doesn't even have plugins xD Getting used to splitting my Wezterm and launching lazygit on a second pane kind of made me forget about my dependence on JetBrains git integration prior to helix :P

We don't all have

- 40 years experience with Emacs

- the ability to predict that 20 years from when we started we would fall in love with Emacs

- the fortitude of will to overcome the mountainous project that it is to turn Emacs, The text editor "toolkit", into the perfect text editor for you.

Article started really strong, and I was about to believe. Days and weeks worth of code in a matter of minutes? I'm ready.

Then author describes a website theme toggle feature.

Get out of here!!!!

> It's hard to empathize

I will empathize with you then and with your inability to empathize with the fact that people are different. Some people don't want to admit to themselves that this world is a wolf eat sheep world, trust that if you're a law abiding citizen, you shouldn't expect to be unfairly treated. Some people have more priorities and no time to dwell on harshness. They also would love it if everything just worked and you didn't need to spend 2 months of your life to configure things and always have to DIY everything.

They're not like me and I accept that. I will never use Apple & Google Cloud for my personal things. But I will empathize for those who get unfair treatement from these companies.

The whole meaning of a society is that we look out for each other, these big corpos have lost the plot, but I will not.

It is supposed to be : I buy a service from you, I did nothing wrong, please treat me fairly and do actually deliver on what I paid for.

That we don't trust them isn't how it's supposed to be, I wish I didn't have to do all of these things I do to keep away from big corpos, but this isn't how it is supposed to be. We're supposed to have the ability to trust each other in a society.

No not, worse code. Wrong code. Code filled with bugs. Code filled with lawsuits too. Code that make you look productive this month while you prepare to leave the company, and turn out to be absolute pooopoo the day after you leave.

I saw the new before I sleep, and slepped peacefully. Because I'd already switched to brave 2 years ago. And once more to firefox 2 months ago. With firefox I feel I finally own my browser and no company is gonna push things down my throat I didn't first agree to
