I love the ideas presented, and it really highlights how current IDE's have removed power from users. I think (from only reading and watching some videos) that this Glamorous Toolkit is a hybrid between Smalltalk IDE and C.A.S.E. tools.

However, I downloaded the app but cannot figure out how to view my own source code. None of the example videos that I can find, show me how to use an existing local git checkout of source code.

I loved this quote: "This is why people join companies and quit managers."

You'd think that directors or VPs would carefully look into why someone is quitting, if it's because of their manager, but I have never seen that happen. I've only ever heard of managers getting in trouble if at least 3 people under them leave.

My son just had one, and they said they found nothing. But looking around, apparently most sleep studies in USA just look for sleep apnea. By default they don't actually look for anything else.

Yeah, Selenium is pretty flakey. I've been pretty happy with https://playwright.dev . Kind of the successor of puppeteer. At least, some of the same devs went from Google to MS. Here's an example where MS has better cross-browswer support than Google.

I'm gonna guess they have a bit of oppositional defiance disorder. I'd probably try to change teams because that's not going to change.

I've been using https://github.com/vimoutliner/vimoutliner for about a decade, everywhere I work. Just text files with simple Ascii checkboxes.

Congrats to them. Let's hope it doesn't destabilize the product too much.

I've been using https://github.com/vimoutliner/vimoutliner for a decade now. It works well. It's so easy to backup, since it's just text files. And you can just use grep and other standard tools to look for content. I believe it's the vim-counterpart to emacs org-mode.

I've been forced to use MS OneNote for one contract, since the laptop is locked-down. Works ok, but search-ability and keyboard-only usage sucks in comparison.
