How about it only works when I'm smoking?

I've combined my scrolling with my smoking to get two birds stoned at once. I'm currently trying to combine working out, scrolling, and smoking, for ultimate productivity.

Of course, but presumably if you're launching something you want people to adopt it so spend some time on documentation.

That's incredible. Had do idea this existed. I'm listening to it right now and I can fully understand it as polack! I might actually want to learn this as it'll help me communicate to all my different slavic friends.

It's the principle.

I'm a seasoned developer and I frequently come across OSS projects where I spend half an hour or more in "how the fuck do I actually use this"-land. A lot of developers need to take the mindset of writing the documentation for their non-tech grandma from the ground up.

Why? It's just the name of the game, everyone gets it. Especially if you're a generalist/frontend type.

Why? Doesn't have jokey copy. Any thoughts on claude-mem[0] + context-mode[1]?

People have this misconception that first it was one way, and then <tech was released>, and they'll wake up and suddenly it is another. It's a slow creep. 10 years ago there were 5 of us on a team each responsible for something specific. Now I can do all of that. Teams and companies will downsize. How do you see AI creating more jobs? (I need some hope right now lol).

I only had to wait 8 years but I can finally text my old co-worker that Laravel is in fact, shit.

I like how out of all examples to pit up against eroding privacy protections was consumer vacuum stuff from ages ago.

Emails on my profile, I'll run you through it all on a call. No I don't but I really should actually.

Just use Git worktrees and a lightweight VM environment (I like macOS native sandbox-exec) and you can spawn as many sessions as you want. I've run upwards of 30 at once on my M2 Pro with no noticeable resource impact.

I hate spending any unnecessary clicks or keyboard shortcuts on getting whats out of my head into the computer. I used yabai before primarily, now using aerospace. Since the monitor is super ultra-wide (57 inches with a very high DPI) the native resolution makes everything ultra small to my eyes. It's the same height as my 34-inch Samsung G5s which are 1440 pixels tall natively, but since this one is 2160, it would have to be 1.5 times larger physically to look decent at native res especially on macOS. The only other option is to scale the UI 1.5x which is where all the problems begin.

I like the three-column separate monitor layout because I have hotkeys, primarily driven by my mouse but also usable keyboard-only where I can easily switch between monitors with `⌘+`` which moves my cursor between them. I can select whichever monitor I want and put my mouse to it, and I can switch to any workspace on any monitor quickly. I also have hotkeys that sync three workspace numbers across monitors, so switching between them switches all AeroSpace workspaces on all three monitors simultaneously. If I have five projects going, I'd have the terminal on the left, Linear and other communication tools on the right in accordion mode with AeroSpace, and I can use my mouse or keyboard exclusively to find exactly what I'm looking for almost as fast as I think of it. I spend zero time on window management or organization now so it makes it thoughtless to use.

If I'm just using the monitor's native resolution there's no real way to do portals — having two apps open as sticky and only switching a portion of the monitor space to a different app while keeping the other sticky. There are hacks you can do with AeroSpace, especially since AeroSpace doesn't use native macOS Spaces, but the three-monitor layout is a much more robust approach in my opinion just a bit of a nightmare to setup. Theres a million little mac annoyances you have to fix.
