The keybindings with the web ide's always are a drag to me, actually the lack of good keybindings.

I was the eng manager for that for a bit, added some APIs to use to do code reviews inside of Eclipse or IntelliJ. That idea never took on, but when when I showed it to the code search team in Munich, they loved it.

Critique was a fast follow.

I never understood theia TBH

Blaze was started late 2005 or early 2006. Eclipse+IntelliJ was also at that time.

The IntelliJ blaze plugin was already started and out when I joined in 2007. My first job was to keep it from being rewritten yet another time, get teams to use it, and also keep it from being cancelled.

GCP makes more revenue than Oracle, which is in the 96th spot. Also YouTube was 2x Paramount revenue in 2025.

Now like cursor and github copilot claude will now cost you raw token costs unless you sit there and click a button.

I guess I need to remove the -p from my bash function I use while in the terminal, that'll cost token costs now.

git-commit-message () { git add -u && claude -p /git-commit-message }

On wait, nevermind.

I didn't want yet another lovable.dev or v0 with figma make, I wanted the prompt -> figma design which I could iterate on by hand once I got something in place (and also faster route to creating the prototype in figma) to play with the UX of it.

I think programmers started wanting "real" languages (notice the quotes), and henceforth got more complexity and things take longer, although with GenAI, we may be back to the "draw as screen and do this" that we were with VB6. Just now the source generated should be considered the object code, and the prompt is the new source (at least for those types of apps)

It wasn't too long ago I saw OS/2 on some ATM machine that was crashed.

I used to love OS/2 back when developing DOS applications (since I could crash the app and not the machine). OS/2 got me interested in "real OS's" and then SunOS in college, etc.

Google found that with Jules years ago at this point, same for other automated tools.

When I first saw the headline though, it sounded like someone was listening to one of my favorite Rush songs.

"""

If you choose not to decide

You still have made a choice

You can choose from phantom fears

And kindness that can kill

I will choose a path that’s clear

I will choose free will.

If that ever gets fixed then I'd look at replacing Sublime (which is still my go-to for quick editing) and then see if it can handle more advanced coding (which one the rotating list of various vscode forks handle today)
