Composition is novelty which these stochastic parrots fail at. Experienced software engineers - competent ones who already automated away anything too repetitive - saw the writing on the wall years ago. (LLMs can still be helpful but general AI they very much are not.)

It does much of it offline, too, against the grain for the longest time.

You can patch the typings to achieve this but there are edge cases where it might not be desirable. Can’t remember when OTOH.

(I’m frustrated that engine implementers, with different needs/priorities/biases, have blocked such proposals apparently with their heads in the sand about what’s already happening in userland.)

No, modern languages need a way to express this. Where JavaScript itself fails to modernise the language it’s only natural userland will do it another way even if there’s a perf trade off; see also pattern matching and pipelines.

Notably in my prototype this simple case works well but it works less well once you replace the items with something like a form (again think Raycast).

If you’re not familiar with Raycast I can make you a crude drawing 😀

Basically Raycast. In the simplest case selecting an item may replace the available items e.g. I select “experiments” from a list of options then that list changes to a list of links to available experiments.

I’ve got it mostly working in Combobox but wondering if Autocomplete is more appropriate.

Didn’t they announce something similar to GitHub one week earlier?

There was an article floating around here that put this better than me. In any case, this applies to life well beyond tech. Hope this came across as I intended. ❤️

I don’t have any solutions, except to say it’s not your fault and any effort you put in is meaningful, even if it doesn’t wholesale change the world. At the same time, give yourself grace to be human; there’s a fine line between doing your best and being a martyr to no end.

This mirrors the society we live in. Money comes first, empathy is if anything discouraged. Worse yet we’re all so burdened by this system that we’ll burnout if we try too hard to individually compensate for causes like this. This extends to countless other topics.

You can use process to set this dynamically btw. At work IIRC we use all threads minus some percentage for the server running in the same job.

I’m curious, do catalogs achieve anything more than I get with pnpm up -r?

That’s where I ended up. Right tool for the job etc plus I already have maintenance to deal with at work, I don’t want it for personal stuff too.

I was gutted to learn Jujutsu hasn’t implemented submodules yet.

Well, it reads like a LLM generated it…

Disappointing lack of --pocus.
