What about conservation? On my land, after clearing a bit around the house for fire safety and "pest" prevention, I kept most of the native rainforest. I planted a few syntropic lines of fruit trees, but they cannot cover the land tax I already pay. All my gardening and land management at large is a money sink (unless we consider touching grass an investment).

"Your" chat consists of other people's messages too and they own those. You can also delete your messages on Discord or Slack – it's quite normal as a feature.

The first one is excellent though, I wish all messengers had it.

Yes, I do that too, but the value of a gate is that there's a tedious deterministic process which is the same every time. So it is harder for agents, including the reviewing ones, to stray and invent things or miss something.

I made CC part of my deterministic quality gate[0] for agents. Not sure how much of it is placebo, but overall I've seen the gate catch a lot of cases where the agent strayed from the constraints of the particular project.

Yes, native .NET without MAUI is great for that. I have my app running with MvvmCross and two native UIs on iOS and Android since 2018, with hundreds of thousands of installs.

Surprised by the rest of the comments because I genuinely like Finder more than any other file manager I've used. I run it in column mode all the time. Space-to-QuickLook is also amazing.

It takes about 6 seconds to get the site fully rendered on MacBook Air 2017 in Chile. HN is slightly above 1 second in comparison.

Yes, I guess a big part I skipped is that it may not be such a good fit for action games, where asset-dependent interactions, such as collisions, can affect the game model.
But games closer to the tabletop end of the spectrum (think strategy, puzzles, etc.) are basically apps: they're not doing much in the world itself, but rather rendering it based on the existing state and accepting user input to modify that state.

I've also been making a game engine based on MonoGame (and prime31/Nez), and one thing I recommend looking into is headless mode for both the game and the editor.
I started my engine in the first place because I want to get back into gamedev, but there's no way I'm going back to the convoluted editor-centered workflow of Unity/Godot. And with proper MVVM, you can get the game headless too, so agents can play without the UI and run thousands of simulations of the gameplay.
Overall, MVVM should be getting a renaissance because of how well it determines the layers and data flow for AI. I have multiple projects using it, and even in early 2025, models had almost no issues understanding my code and implementing new features. Now I set up MVVM-inspired headless architectures including for Swift or React Native projects and it works like a charm.

AvaloniaUI has their community in Telegram, and there are other tech ones. Endless meme channels in different languages too. Also, most of Russian-speaking emigrant groups & news channels are in Telegram, some of them with tens of thousands of participants.

Spanish is not that bad: the conjugations are not gendered, while there are fewer than 20 major irregular patterns and about a dozen especially quirky verbs that you have to memorize in a few tenses (there are no 100% irregular verbs, most have at least some regular forms).
