These days you can just make your own? I can strongly recommend everyone just build their own personal tool...

Or am I missing something?

Here is my personal, Rust based, ultra-fast ADE. Feel to fork an make it your own:

This exactly my process as well. Although interestingly I swap Codex and Claude; having found Claude way more pedantic in its reviews and codex more pragmatic in its implementation. Maybe it differs per programming language.

Evolution is a continuous random branching and selective pruning process. And there is not a lot of pruning going on in the current human explosion. So unless ADHD is an old branch and we see other mammals survive because of their distractability, I remain skeptical.

A little late to the discussion, but what I missed in the comments was to properly try to reestablish the relation with your co-founder at least once more.

It sounds like it will take a lot more than a meeting. The two of you should go on a three day retreat to discuss the company situation and strategy deeply and to repair the connection between you two.

If you have completely different views, in a way that is really interesting and you should both strive to fully understand and learn from each other.

Who knows what lies underneath the difference in views?

Once you know that you can make a much more informed decision and if you still leave it will likely be on much better terms.

Another solution would be a React-native machine translation implementation that updates the TextNodes without replacing them. It would still have the issues of merging adjacent nodes to get a proper translation, but at least it could update on any state change.

I agree that recovering from VCS is something that never actually happens. Mostly because the code is forgotten.

Still, commented-out code is generally worthless and should be deleted. Unless it is actively being worked on and only commented out to achieve some short-term goal. In which case it should also not be commented out but instead live on a branch.

Occasionally you might have two flows and you're not sure which is best. But in that case keep them in separate functions and one of those will not be used but can still be covered with tests. And all static analysis tools will work on it. Just needs a comment about why this unused code is there.

Can recommend Firefox for android, and as a bonus it supports many plugins.

The director doesn't say "Try an Ow!" he says after a few attempts: "No, no, not an Ow, a real scream of pain"

Stress is all about perception. With mindfulness you can practice changing the way you look at things. If you practice zooming out of things that induce fear and see a bigger picture this will generally reduce stress.

The mind has a natural tendency to zoom in on scary things. I guess that is our prey-animal heritage.

Certainly, for rightfully stressful situations immediate action is needed and mindfulness is not a solution, but in modern life almost all stress comes from the imagination. If you are not conscious of your own thinking fearful thoughts may suck you in indefinitely.

Mindfulness (and psychedelics) can greatly help with becoming (more) conscious of fearful thoughts and that enables you to deal with them constructively.

Clearly it depends on the type mindfulness. From the paper:

> mindfulness is typically defined as “the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment”. Core MBP elements are mindfulness meditation training, doing things mindfully such as eating or brushing one’s teeth, and collective and individual inquiry with a qualified teacher, using participatory learning processes.

Probably heightening consciousness while brushing your teeth is not the most direct way to mitigating stress.
