Singletoned

You are assuming that there's something bad about everything you believe being false. There's a fair amount of evidence that it's a good thing. EG religious people being happier and living longer

The idea of "sentience" here could be replaced with "a soul" or "magic thinking powers" or almost anything else. It's an undefinable concept.

For the same reason that there are already lots of markdown editors out there. Why didn't the they all use the first one that came out?

I think this is different in different countries. I use them a lot in the UK and the customer support has been excellent.

I think it's really interesting that Void (and Zed) are both much more tastefully designed than Cursor, Windsurf or VSCode (though I wouldn't have expected VSCode to be well designed)

"The Rule of Three" I have been expressing as "it takes 3 points to make a straight line".

Any two points will look as if they are on a straight line, but you need a third point to confirm the pattern as being a straight line

Ratners is the famous example that springs to mind here in the UK.

Can it do multiline search and replace?

> Hello. I am rational developer. I am very clever and very rational. Devoid of emotion. Oh what is this? [Something has changed that I don't like]. What is this bubbling feeling in me? An emotional response? No way. I am rational. Therefore these changes must be objectively stupid and dumb and wrong. Let me explain why.

I certainly do this a lot.

I'm going to put that paragraph on a postcard and put it up in my office to try to remind me about it.

(It would also be helpful to come up with a name for this phenomenon).

Creating "a system in which you consistently increase the number of miles you run" is pointless if it doesn't get you to the point where you can run the marathon on the day that it happens.

How long you have until the marathon would determine what kind of training schedule (system) you create.

Even his first metaphor falls down:

> You can’t simply start training today and run a half marathon tomorrow, for example. You can, however, create a system in which you consistently increase the number of miles you run.

The marathon will be on a specific day, ie a deadline. If you haven't finished your training before the day of the marathon, you fail.
