You can spend a lot of time perfecting the test suite to meet your specific requirements and needs, but I think that would take quite a while, and at that point, why not just write the code yourself? I think the most viable approach of today's AI is still to let it code and steer it when it makes a decision you don't like, as it goes along.

Had the same thought, I can suggest JetBrains Datagrip (paid software), works really well for me

As much as many are against it, couldn't this be yet another argument for social network wide digital identity verification? I think that this is an argument that holds: to avoid AI slop / bots → require government ID

Personally, I don’t see this move as a negative. It implies that a company believes in its product and potentially wants to improve it. Usually, you can tell when a product is not used by its creator(s), and it’s not a good experience.

Strange, this is the first time hearing Treesitter is slow. From experience, Treesitter has been incredibly fast for me (when running its core functions). I’m not discrediting your observation, but it might be something else in the pipeline.

That is true, however, one thing to keep in mind, is that these tools like Via / Vial, will always be limited compared to a fully fledged programming language like C with and its QMK framework. Something that I only realized after the fact.

Wall hacks might be funny, but when you get killed on sight in .25 sec it’s not so fun anymore…

I doubt he meant « two engineers full time », I suspect it’s more like a role of maintaining / improving when necessary.

For anyone looking for a simple markdown editor (nothing more), I would recommend Typora. It's closed source, and the plugin system is lacking, but it gets the essentials basically perfect.

Just like the author suggests, sometimes you have to tailor your question to ChatGPT, for it to succeed.

It’s crazy to think that even a rock climber can suffer from RSI. Goes to show it can happen to anyone.

It doesn't matter what the intent behind the fix is, even if it is 100% for personal gain. In my opinion, it should be treated fairly, like any other commit and given credit where credit is due.

I meant installing 3rd party apps through other means than the app store

They do this to discourage users from installing 3rd party apps. I know it is still greedy, but that's the reasoning behind it.
