> Kagi can still benefit from this, though, by serving as the default search engine in exchange for funding the development

This is not gonna work because Kagi is not free to use

They explicitly said no MCP and no fullscreen TUI, which makes it minimal and attracts many people.

Right but I think it’s due to the shortage of chips (and data centers), instead of shortage of money

There are two types of coding in my life: work and hobby.

Before ~3 years ago, they are more or less similar to me: it's mostly pure creation and sparks joy and makes me fulfilled. I love working and it pays well, and my hobby improves my work skill. It's like living in the dream.

Now? I can "make it anyway" like the author suggested indeed, but only for my hobby. I don't think I can keep coding the old way during work without getting myself fired.

I guess there's no much to complain. Lots of people work only for a living. It's a rare privilege to love one's work. I should be grateful that I can choose to keep my hobby.

I would assume that it’s like the Chrome browser does not allow you downloading Firefox using it, surely that would be illegal, wouldn’t it?

I’m a noob about laws but isn’t this abusing its dominant market position and violates some antitrust law?

OrbStack works really well for me. I wonder how it’s compared to this performance wise

Reminds me of an anti-crawl mechanism I encountered some time ago in a financial data provider's website: for all numbers in the table, a special font is used where 0~9 are randomly rendered as different chars (e.g. '0' is rendered as 5, '1' is rendered as 8, etc.). The backend server returns the "encoded" chars, and is then correctly "decoded" by the font. The font changes after each reload. So humans always see the correct numbers, but when some crawler uses the HTML source, the numbers are incorrect.

> Prioritise running as many type-checkers as possible on your test suite. Run at least one on your source code.

There are two types of tests: those that test against the public API, and those that test internal codes with various mocks and fakes. I think the vast majority of unit tests is the latter one, in which case the suggestion does not really make sense.

The more precise title should be: How we copied code from Linux kernel without fully understand it and missed its follow-up fixes, now it bites us
