Lately I'm working on a variety of pieces, predominantly backend, including leveraging the Go compiler toolchain for source code transformation, but also a Scala-based graph traversal DSL. Actually looking to relocate for the right opportunity.

While they're very good compared to the alternatives, I wonder why they haven't pushed more into that direction, e.g. what I've wanted to put into a plugin when tinkering with the PSI was simple composable operations, similar to Vim operations, like "rotate if/else branch" (while correctly negating and simplifying the test expression), or "convert if to case/switch/..." (and back and only if it's feasible).

What hardware do you have issues with nowadays? I agree it used to be problematic, though lately the only remaining thing I'm struggling with is (some) printers. Then again, thankfully I haven't had to set them up on Windows either.

It's great, just not fantastic (yet). I'm kind of eager for further hardware revisions, but on the other hand, I've already used it a lot when I otherwise wouldn't have had the option to start up the big desktop for gaming (commuting, or even just to use some time in between things). And while I bought a Switch before, the main benefit here is of course the entire Steam library being available, so no buying the same title more than once.

Biggest dislike is the on-screen keyboard. On the one hand it's usable with the two trackpads, but, I still take way to long to enter text, even compared to a phone screen. It's also very slow to appear and bugs out too often. I really hope that that can be improved so it can pop up and disappear without noticeable delay.

I'm not sure about underpowered, I was actually quite happy to install some rather resource-intensive (Windows!) games and while it's getting quite warm, I never ran out of battery immediately, but yes, if you've got to save energy, better turn on all the options for that. And that's actually quite cool to be able to turn down energy consumption on a whim, or with per-game profiles, etc.

As long as they're going to optimise the experience more and not just keep it as-is, because "it works fine", then it could be a really good platform going forward.

Same question for the dock though, is it worth it?

Ditto, had it only once that they complained the signature on separate documents was identical. Well, just wrote it down a couple more times in case I run into that again.

TikZ/PGF had a graph layouting implementation for about a decade now, c.f. "Part IV - Graph Drawing" in the manual. And apparently `dot2tex` can also render TikZ instructions, so going via Graphviz is possible too.

At least it's using some OSS, like osquery, c.f. <https://cdn.drata.com/agent/osquery/queries.json>, so you can easily see quite a bit of what it's going to gather.
