Because it's fun

My company once gave me a touchscreen laptop and I did know that until I touched the screen by accident. It was fun to play but I never found it useful. I heard many people saying the same, some of them even preferred to disable. I find it uncomfortable to touch a laptop screen... The only thing seems to benefit from that for me is photo editing apps or 3D modelling.

So, I'm curious about how you use it. Do you have a specific use case where touchscreen made you life easier?

That's what I thought at first. But all the niceness of having a settings GUI didn't pay the unwanted bloat. My first try was to find a "debloated iTerm2", and then I found out that Ghostty's settings aren't the burden that I thought they would be

I also thought like that, but you only to set some defaults and you're ready to go. If you still prefer a GUI there are online generators. Nowdays you can also vibecode them, they are very simple and any LLM will do it right

For me: it doesn't really "bring" anything more than what I expect from a terminal.

In Mac, we had the default terminal app which has some problems with TUI apps and other small issues. iTerm2 is the replacement that most users use, but it become too bloated with useless features and AI, while it was hard to keep a good config file that I could share between devices. Ghostty was a sane mid-term for me: a good and modern terminal, with a simple config file, maintained by someone that I trust (Mitchell Hashimoto) and only that.

About Linux: I don't use Ghostty in Linux because I'm comfortable with Konsole.

Why teach people to play guitar once a week if they won't be a new Jimi Hendrix? Why teach people to run if they won't be a new Usain Bolt?

Maybe because they don't want to be an "emerging player" or something, they only want to understand how a new technology that is changing the world works and prefer to learn by doing.

If Sebastian is doing it by its personal brand, he really deserves it. I would trust him because I know he is a reference on his area of knowledge and I know he is because he shares his knowledge instead of only making fancy talks.

I don't like working with neural networks and I always found everything overcomplicated or oversimplified, sometimes both at the same time.

But this book is almost perfect. Every new concept is well described and every is well founded. And every step moves you forward (if you know, you know)

Stash is just a stack of commits. If you use stash this way too much probably you will mess something, since it needs to keep that stack data structure.

The solution: create a branch or tag with the things that you're trying. If you want to apply it, use `git merge --squash`. This way your unfinished work lives outside the stash stack!

Native English speakers when trying to speak Portuguese find it hard to speak A with tilde (~). Like when they say "São Paulo" they say "Sao Paulo". Ã is the nasal A, which sounds like the U in "sun" and "burn", while the standard A sounds the same as in "car".

I don't know why this happens, since the phoneme exists in English...

Thanks. I'm upvoting that instead

> `find` does a lot more things than that.

And I don't think that's a good thing. Especially because AI coding agents use it a lot. They only need to hallucinate a little to destroy your filesystem.

> You probably don’t need find

I think for most cases `git ls-files` does this job quite well. If you provide pathspecs, this can be very powerful!

Yeah, that's true! I find it very boring to create automations manually, this will help a lot
