yes! it's the worst!
I've been using Instant Space Switcher (which got a small callout in tfa) as a targeted fix for this, and it's lifechanging

if you're interested in this kind of thing, The Mexican Runner beat every NES game (over 700 of them [1]) including such gems as Miracle Piano Teaching System, which took 91 hours to beat and required him to become quite proficient at actual piano playing [2]

i see a lot of people doing this, and especially if theyre shallow clones, its really not a big deal
and anyway git-worktree is basically this workflow wrapped in nicer UX

the publisher says
>In 1997, Werner Herzog was in Tokyo to direct an opera. His hosts asked him, Whom would you like to meet? He replied instantly: Hiroo Onoda. Onoda was a former solider famous for having quixotically defended an island in the Philippines for decades after World War II, unaware the fighting was over. Herzog and Onoda developed an instant rapport and would meet many times, talking for hours and together unraveling the story of Onoda’s long war.

i know nothing about this beyond watching food network - i dont even know the meaning of discipline in a kitchen - but can someone explain why it has to be so tough?
why do they work for such long hours in such shitty conditions for such poor pay? for the love? and what makes it so impossible for a good kitchen to work 8 hour shifts with a lunch break?
it doesn't seem like it gets any cushier late career either, so you aren't really working towards much except status.
Seems like you could make about as much over the course of a career working at a wal mart and have much better hours and health coverage to go along with it
serious question, no disrespect intended

there's already a very popular react (cljs) framework called reframe

if you have access to this, it's your moral responsibility to leak it

As a web developer working primarily in JS, what should I be learning now to stay relevant/up-to-date once WebAssembly is more common? Are we going to see more web stuff built with c++, like the dsp example in this blog post?

I'll plug Parinfer as the best tool I've found for removing the pain of editing s-expressions. It's done wonders for my own workflow, and there's almost nothing to learn before you can use it effectively (compare to Paredit which requires you to know quite a few shortcuts before becoming productive)
I almost never have to think about the parentheses while editing, any more than I would braces in a c-like language. It's really freeing. It's also fully integrated into Cursive so there isn't even a setup step if you're using that already.

I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet (would be interested in hearing from anyone who has), but there is a Chrome devtools fork called Dirac that is targeted at natively debugging clojurescript.
