Dragging UI items around on a page is very different problem to dragging an external file onto a page

I don't really get that impression, if you look through their blog posts plenty of them talk about their interactions with and getting to know locals, moored neighbours, harbour workers etc.

One of our repos at work (56 contributors) still has all the original branch commits visible on PRs that were squashed and merged in 2018, I've never noticed anything like that being deleted accidentally or otherwise.

Sounds like it might have been added later but it's in the credits now

>The idea for parallel paths and the illustration style developed independently, but the team did take inspiration for the isometric world and user experience mechanics from the game Monument Valley once made aware. If you enjoyed this format, give Monument Valley a play through the Apple or Android app stores.

Similar in my team and I don't feel like there's much context switching. With around 8 engineers there's usually at least one person not in the middle of something who can spare a few minutes.

I tried Claude on a project where I'd got stuck trying to use some MacOS media APIs in a Rust app.

It just went in circles between something that wouldn't compile, and a "solution" that compiled but didn't work despite the output insisting it worked. Anything it said that wasn't already in the (admittedly crap) Apple documentation was just hallucination.

Not exactly what I'd describe as "revolutionary".

The worst is when you have lines in a similar pattern across your formatter's line length boundary and you end up with

  setup_spi(&adc, mode=SPI_01, rate=15, cs_control=CS_MUXED, cs=0x01);
  setup_spi(&eeprom,
      mode=SPI_10,
      rate=13,
      cs_control=CS_MUXED,
      cs=0x02);
  setup_spi(&mram, mode=SPI_10, rate=50, cs_control=CS_DIRECT, cs=0x08);

Nice place to cut the quote there

It's a travesty how much "Freedom" Scientific charges for a developer JAWS licence

Funny how it suggests using the long-abandoned and recently deprecated create-react-app. Why not vibe code your app built on tech debt from day one!

This is maybe specific to the model, but my previous phone (Xperia 10 V) had its sensor on the power button and I'd always unintentionally unlock it immediately after locking it and putting it back in my pocket
