C++ async model is too complicated (and not cost free as claimed, since it allocates memory for the coroutine state) and as such it wasn't widely adopted. I don't see any code using C++ async (apart from libraries implementing "tasks" in various forms). At this point I view it as a failed experiment. My bet is that executors are going to replace async completely.

I got Muse Glimmer to say "Drive the car, walk yourself." The logic is unbeatable.

Muse code is rough around the edges. But combined with almost free model (muse spark contributor) it's actually pretty good. I think it's on the same level as grok build.

You're absolutely right! Sorry I deleted your database.

> The unfortunate truth is that the engineering in opencode is so far ahead of Claude Code.

If only Claude Code developers had access to a powerful LLM that would allow them to close the engineering gap. Oh, wait...

Log in and send your data to some unknown company just to do grep. Thanks but no thanks.

It says the best "coding index" is held by Grok 4 and Gemini 2.5 Pro. Give me a break. Nobody uses those models for serious coding. It's dominated by Sonnet 4/Opus 4.1 and GPT-5.

This reminds me something. Ah yes, Congress. They'd rather be in power in a failed country.

Here's what I see:

* PM asking a client: "Do you want beautiful logging, metrics and shit?" - "Hell yeah we want logging, metrics and shit!"

* PM telling devs: implement beautiful logging, metrics and shit

* Devs spend half a year implementing all that shit

* The client looks at the final product: "What is this shit? We need a freaking green checkmark!"

Coming from Commit Mono, Atkinson looks a bit unusual. But I think I can get used to it. I think the comparison to Fira Code is valid, because in the terminal Atkinson looks almost like Fira Mono, but better. Since I usually sit a meter away from the screen, I can appreciate the extra legibility of this font.

Also, it's great that it's available as a Nerd variant. It makes it super easy to install on Linux with Embellish.

For some time after the introduction of the M1 CPU Macbooks provided the best battery life experience. So it would make sense to use a Macbook if you wanted your laptop to work more than 4-5 hours unplugged. But now Intel Core Ultra series 2 and AMD Strix Point laptops are almost as good. Sure you won't get 20 hours of battery life, but you get about 10-15 hours and it's already good enough. Performance of Intel/AMD CPUs are also good enough: about M2 performance-wise. Sure they are a couple of generations behind Apple, but for most tasks it doesn't matter. Linux compatibility is also getting there. You can choose a Thinkpad if you want to be sure that Linux runs on it. But even many consumer-grade laptops are supported but Linux thanks to recent kernel updates. Essentially what I'm saying is that if you want a good laptop experience and you like Linux, you don't have to settle for Macbook anymore.
