Needs difficulty modes, or a steeper curve. Too easy for too long.

Basically the same as Python’s zipapps which have some niche use cases.

Before zipapp came out I built superzippy to do it. Needed to distribute some python tooling to users in a university where everyone was running Linux in lab computers. Worked perfectly for it.

I do wish monospace designs were at least a _little_ trendier. My blog uses one, but honestly I feel like I should change it up since I'm looking for roles right now and I worry it doesn't _delight_ like modern designs right now.

It's nice. Extremely fast too.

Personally I had to turn my brightness up to read it easily, so possibly a little more contrast between text and background but that's just me.

Thank you! It’s the Solarized color scheme which is definitely a bit low-contrast. I probably don’t notice it only because I’ve been using the color scheme across apps for so long.

That’s what I started out doing as well. At some point I got tired of it, and after writing the script I realized the tighter feedback loop was really nice.

Full-stack engineer with professional experience in other areas including Unity, desktop, mobile, and set-top boxes. I've founded two small businesses with modest success but prefer the life of an IC.

I started programming 24 years ago when I was 7 and have been continuously loving and learning more about my craft since.

I've very recently started looking for a new IC role once again. I am interested in Senior/Staff roles that will allow me to continue expanding my knowledge.

There's a great Computerphile video from 2015 that introduced me to the idea of AI safety awhile ago. It seems like some good context to this article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcdVC4e6EV4

Yes. I run a small website and a friend of mine has agreed to take it over if I die. I've shared the passwords of the services that the website is hosted on with them via a package manager.

I do not have anything similar for my bank accounts or personal subscriptions.

This article asserts SOLID and MVC is good with basically no justification. It also doesn’t show how non-hooks code would be better.

I agree with this exactly. I think appeals to SOLID or any other design principles are generally not helpful when arguing/discussing about code quality. I think people should just talk about readability and maintainability instead, since those are what we are actually interested in - not following some dogma.

Those are impossible to measure though, would make a discussion extremely hard. SOLID principles are accepted as something that makes your code more maintainable over time

Ah of course you meant in a word processor...

Thought I was about to learn about a new utility for a moment.
