Ghostty has my daily driver for a good while now, I’ve been super happy with it. It’s been especially fun watching Mitchell deftly build a community at just the right speed for its development stage. Thank you for all your hard work and responsiveness.

Very interesting to me that our dreams make some of the same mistakes. Some of the usual reality checks to know if you’re dreaming:

- looking at your hands

- looking at clocks

- trying to read

It’s funny that diffusion models often make those exact same mistakes. There’s clearly a similar failure mode where both are drawing from a distribution and losing fine details. Has this been studied?

I'm at a 1/4 of that. I love it and I'm just hoping it sticks around long enough to get me to 40 ;)

Throughout my career thus far, I’ve consistently been advised to get really good at writing if I want to make the biggest impact I can.

With that being said, I’ve been doing some practice!

Recently, I tried the Apple Vision Pro and I wrote about my experience. If you’re interested about my formerly-skeptical opinion on the future of AR/VR, check it out :)

Thank you, I really appreciate this :)

This is fantastic, thank you so much for the thoughtful response!

I happen to be super interested in systems programming (OSes, DBs, PLs), but I've worried that those fundamentals might be superseded by AI, whether through a higher-level abstraction or just better automated code generation. Glad to hear an experienced opinion to the contrary.

I think I'll need to come back and read this a couple more times to pull out all the advice here, I appreciate this much to chew on :)

Totally agree, it’s the textual equivalent of the visual uncanny valley. Communication in general is obviously not gonna go away. Certain kinds of corporate copy-writing where the tone matches the LLM is probably not as resistant. It’ll be interesting to see to what extent that uncanny effect will be reduced over the next decade.

Do the web browser offerings of those apps not cut it?

Anybody have anything like a "hall of fame" for easy-to-read beautiful working code?
