Breaks are so underestimated! I recall getting an insight while on a break, but almost never at the time when I decide to grind the thing till the end

Take breaks, dears!

#barcelonajs was very interesting today

New web component full stack framework Brisa was presented. @davatron5000 should be happy 😀

codingfont.com/ is fun. It has a “font tournament” to do knockout rounds between pairs of fonts to help you decide which monospaced font you prefer. JetBrains Mono came out the winner for me, but it was close with a couple of others.

@lopin I've always been fascinated about tools that let you think of code in 2d. Like, Excel as a programming language let's you move information up, down, left or right and I think that's cool. It let's you cluster data/operations in different sections of the document

More recently, I saw this post about haystackeditor.com/, maybe you'll like it!

Why do we still think in files in programming? They add an extra level of thinking "where should I put my classes and functions"

Are there researches or attempts to move away from file-thinking? I imagine work ing in a file-less IDE, navigating between functions, classes and definition without thinking where they live.

It requires rebuilding a lot of tooling too, because most of them are about files, not code.

I’ve just noticed that in “La casa de papel” there are phrases in Russian written in the intro

I have bad - Feeling - Blank title

“Blank title” is especially funny

Disabling the copilot and all the AI magic actually forces me to think and remember.

I don't drop it completely. It is actually a very nice mentor to learn things. I try to recall ruby. After finishing an exercise, I ask AI to rewrite it to idiomatic Ruby and always find interesting tricks and patterns

Giving Zed IDE a chance this month. I'm curious how it will go

My main IDE is WebStorm with most of the things turned off. However, my current main project is a huge monorepo with mixed languages. All the IDE intelligence became slow and gets in a way.

The other thing is that JetBrains makes it hard to work cross-language. You have an ide for each

As an expat in Spain and Catalunya I want to study the history to better understand people around me.

Could you recommend good YouTube channels or books in #spanish for me?

@lopin putomikel is an archeologist with a lot to say. The humorist “Forges” has a series on easy to digest comics about the history of Spain probably available in any library or old bookshop

I like for many new ideas can be found in Local First community even if you are not making classic Local First app (but remember that Local First is a spectrum).

For instance, there is amazing Zero sync engine from Replicache useful for classic webapp.

I've decided to try the Beta of the new MacOS and this prompt is insanely annoying. They show it every time I log in.

are those famous podcasters crazy? What type of people can listen to 3-8 hours podcasts?

I understand that they interview very smart people. At the same time, if they cannot pack a message into one hour episode, it tells a lot about their professionalism.
