Going fast, and sustained speed, are very different things. I've often felt, in many different areas of life, that a shortcut will pay off in the short term, but if you take nothing but shortcuts then you will do terribly long term.

You have to do the hard thing eventually, or you never get anywhere.

Put a comma after "'z': 2" and it will work how you expect, fyi

One of the oddities of the comments Claude makes is that they are very referential to the current session, or reference now dead/removed code... Which I consider useless. Things like "implement this X way because it's faster than Y" ... But a human reading the code wouldn't know what Y is, or that it even existed necessarily. So, I find myself constantly fixing comments to be less temporarily dependant.

owing "nothing to no one" means you are allowed to be unreasonable...

I've gotta disagree with you here - it's not uncommon for me to be diving into a library I'm using at work, find a small issue or something that could be improved (measurably, not stylistically), and open a PR to fix it. No big rewrites or anything crazy, but it would definitely fit the definition of "drive by change" that _thus far_ has been welcomed.

Random, but on line 266 map `P` to `false` not `nil` and it won't show up.

I've always just used `:e <filename>` - never saw the appeal of oil.nvim for that use case. But for other kinds of modifications it's nifty.

I used Yabai for years until I found aerospace, and switched over instantly. Would highly recommend anyone to try it :)

Huge fan of shelly. I wrote a little sinatra web-server that can just show the current state, and toggle the state, of a bunch of lights around my yard. I really appreciate that all you need is http, no cloud, no fuss to just put together a custom ui for them. Couldn't recommend them more highly

Missed it so much in vim I started maintaining the neovim clone.

Its just a Scheme dialect. A bit odd, but not crazy.
