Maybe they had it and wisely decided to get rid of it.

As far as I can tell, the actual argument is "DHH likes racecars and ergo is a hypocrite for reducing software engineering to economics." Points for originality but maybe not for soundness.

In fact it might even reinforce the point. How many people get paid to drive racecars? Not a lot. It is a hobby for the rich.

As much as I cannot stand DHH, this article felt like so much wishful thinking. DHH being a terrible person does not make him wrong about the future direction of software.

Will artisanal, handcrafted software continue to exist? Yes. Will someone be willing to pay me a comfortable salary to write it? Doubtful.

I was just expecting something bigger than the dotcom pop not vastly smaller.

If this is the bubble bursting, it's pretty anticlimactic.

"I stopped smoking during work hours but still got lung cancer?!?"

The bans are very lackadaisically enforced, and this is in a state where the ban is actually mandated by law (Missouri). My daughter says in high school kids regularly have phones out in class. And a ban even if enforced would not keep kids off these harmful platforms for the many other hours in the day.

Why anyone would expect phone bans to improve mental health is beyond me when the majority of phone use is not happening at school.

Improve grades, improve classroom behavior, maybe. What about those?

I was more trying to say this metric is meaningless because being "deplatformed" has become a point of pride these people actively seek. And I did read it.

It's whatever shareholders want it to be.

I worked at a regional state uni in middle of nowhere Midwest for 10 years. A non negligible number of ultra right provocateurs would come to campus and say hateful culture wars shit for no purpose but to "own the libs" and post about it on social media.

The fact that some students complain about it is not surprising -- it's pretty much the intended effect. And I guess now that goes on a list so that right wing groups can fundraise off of it.

Loved helix and batteries included philosophy but was wishing for more batteries. Specifically the lack of a good diff viewer. Yes I can create a shortcut to lazygit but the way swapping between processes worked was buggy and uncomfortable.

And even though abstractly I like helix's keyboard model better than vim, I wish there was a way to just switch to vim mode because it is too ingrained.

Maybe this fork can address some of this either directly or by allowing plugins.

I have had good luck with an old candy bar style dumb phone from Jethro Mobile for my teen.

I say I am reading the text, but really it's a simple loop moving eyes left then right then repeat.

AI haters simultaneously want to rob AI of intelligence and agency and insist it is just a dumb tool but then in the next breath want to say the person who commands it also has no agency or intelligence.

Tipping in a drive thru or countertop is a different conversation from a sit down restaurant as far as I'm concerned.
