This is explained in the article. Including the hurting brain.

Visual Studio Code is the compromise

I think the point the article wants to make is that specifically 6K isn't used by consumers, whereas indeed 4K and 8K are.

This is the one thing I brought from my time of trying out vim.

I have now set all my editors to move by paragraph with ctrl+up/dn. It fits so well together with ctrl+left/right that I think it should be standard behaviour. I also set up ctrl+shift+up/dn to select, of course.

Surely a gaming handheld counts

When you are making str -> Any dictionaries it's quite likely you're better off with dataclasses or namedtuples anyway.

The original steam deck was already exactly the product Microsoft should have made. There is now a whole class of similar (but generally more expensive) windows-powered devices. If Microsoft would have made the "XBOX Deck" they could have sold 10 times the numbers Steam Deck did.

But indeed, I'd think Phil Spencer's days are numbered now.

I listened to the same podcast, and agreed with the points that Casey made. However, there were some aspects of version control that were glossed over.

What was described was actually quite close to developing through a Dropbox folder + (implied) tooling. And that makes a lot of sense for Casey Muratori's current work, which I believe is a small 5-10 person team doing game (engine) development. Such teams can quite easily work all in the same source branch (and this could in fact be preferred, e.g. for large assets in gaming).

However, as organizations grow, you want different levels of staging (that could be provided by your version control). A split between local and _the common_ stream, release branches, splits between projects or features, review states, etc.

So I believe the optimum is somewhere in the middle, and jj does take a step towards it. But still some friction remains.
