basically a text expansion. I have g=git, so when I type “g push” after I hit space after g, it expands it to git in the terminal as if i just typed out git myself. My history doesnt show “g push” it shows “git push” before I push enter

why use aliases (they exist in fish) when you can use abbreviations and your history isnt determined by whatever you set your aliases up as? If you change an alias, your history does not reflect that. If you use abbreviations, your history is perfectly usable

i dont even use rust and i hear more people complaining about rust than i hear rust users.

Besides Crystal, a lot of people went to Elixir and Phoenix as well

Its AOT compiled.

Javascript is compiled, just in time.

I only want to see ai remove code while keeping tests passing. until it can do that what value does it bring

From another commenter: https://github.com/libretro/swanstation

the software itself wasn’t that noteworthy

I always find the value of working software made by volunteers. That’s always noteworthy, imo. I’m a software engineer. It’s not like I have that many completed projects that have people using them. It’s incredibly hard to make software that people want to use, and it’s incredibly unfortunate to lose someone who wants to do that unthanked work. This guy is still catching strays when he’s actually doing shit for people.

Backend devs: JS sucks because I never learned it actually

Js is dead use php!

we upgraded to 8 from 5 at my first job in 2014

“Knows”

Too much credibility to the backend devs out there. “CSS is too hard to remember” is why things like tailwind are more popular than they deserve.

When that happens I will be excited:) I’d be excited for WebKit to get more love
