Didn't know ISIS gave a hoot about gluten free.

I know, I tried modal emacs for a while there.

Thanks, I left due to rsi from the chords.

It doesn't have the (any?) diffing capabilities of magit, so it's not usable for me yet.

I've never found a decent magit replacement since leaving emacs over to vim. There is a Vim attempt at a magit clone, but it is buggy as hell.

lazygit is too slow for me.

The author's writing style and overuse of parentheses is excruciating. True parenthetic material is rare, good technical writers use them sparely.

Just Yoneda Lemma. In fact it feels like the theory just restates Yoneda Lemma over and over in different ways.

With its own package manager now, and LSP library, you really don't need a lot of config tweaking for a minimal vim setup these days.

Putting http in between all your components creates a madness machine. Why the cult following around Martin Fowler?

Is this a fork, or a change in direction?

That's because we let all the industries go offshore, for the promises of Neoliberalism. That should never have happened either.

Taiwan and perhaps other Asian countries that successfully make stuff don't expose their industries to this, the government sets a fixed energy price for them rather than leaving them at the whim of speculators.

Here in England we now drag the coal over on smoke spewing ships from Japan and Australia, rather than mine it here. The sum total of CO2 is higher than if we just mined it here. Net zero box ticking.

Truly green governments should outlaw plastic production and favour PLA bioplastics and this sort of thing. There's enough plastic in the ocean already.

Fractured ecosystem. Low barrier to entry, so loads of tooling.

Too slow. Different people implemented linter, bundler, ts compiler in JS. That means three different parsers and ASTs, which is inefficient. These guys want a grand unified compiler to rule them all.
