I have a friend who writes C and assembly straight up in Vim on a thinkpad running void linux. No AI tooling whatsoever.
Glad that people like him still exist in the LLM hellscape we live in these daysl

The most disappointing thing about AI in software dev (and life in general) has been watching people almost entirely pass off their thinking/decision process to faceless chatbots. People I (used to) trust bragging about how many prompts they've sent or doing things "because <llm> said so"

have since killed my proxmox instance so i have to wait until i get home to fix it :/
I've heard bad things about openvswitch (and its use in proxmox sdn) but since you can't even assign a network interface to a VM directly it might become a necessary evil

As much as I want to be a keyboard navigation only neovim chad with nixos on my framework, I don't think I could ever give up the comfort of full blown JetBrains IDEs (GoLand, IntelliJ, and PyCharm my beloveds)
Doesn't mean I won't try though. There's two laptops in my bag most of the time anyway...

I love Golang so much, it's so close to perfect but the fact that it doesn't have dedicated syntax for enums...
this is truly the only day-to-day issue I've encountered

The funny thing about Tailwind supposedly being very flexible is that actually a lot of websites built with it have the "Tailwind look" to them and you can tell pretty quick lmao
Although a lot of times it's because they're using Tailwind UI

to expand on this; i'm learning it for a class on programming languages (focusing on syntax, semantics, and implementation) and while it was hard to pick up at first, it's now very intuitive. most of what i'm doing though is translating types into implementations and using recursion in cursed ways
I'm starting to like OCaml... help?
