![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Not even tool choice, but tool worship. There's so much in the industry of tying a person's identity to the tools (vim/vscode, Ruby/Rust/JS, tui/gui) they use.
and it seems like this intellectual tradition, the thinking about programming as a craft, and considering longevity, and outcomes (especially negative ones), has been replaced with nothing but tool choice
these are essays that were 30+ years old, then, but still fresh (and still are)
bc it’s about thinking about programming as a process and a tool
programming was an intellectual tradition not just a job
of which there seems very little today

I really dislike DMs in work environments (unless it's very specific, memes or whatever): so much important information and discussion gets lost and not seen by others...

Why did I not know that that pressing `Cmd + Shift + |` in @zed.dev would show my all of my open editors!!!!! I use 2 editors quite often for a monorepo at work and I really wanted a way to swap between editors

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

I'm still amazed that more people don't use comby.dev. Just used it to do a complex refactor on a little under 1k Elixir files and it took me nearly 0 effort to do so.

Whoever thought rounded corners on a phone screen was a good idea must have also thought the paper in the original Battlestar Galactica was the coolest thing ever. I disagree

I was reading something on lobste.rs the other day and found myself on a blog that had a post about why you should basically never use checkboxes. There was a update at the end, from years later I think, about 1 case where checkboxes are useful. Anyone know this blog? Trying to re-find it

I think the thing for me that'd make a text editor feel really next level is if it supported navigation via LSP. Like pressing the arrow keys would move forward/backward in/out of expressions/scopes. Kinda like vim navigation but being context aware of the type of text being moved over.

I thought for a brief moment that today was the drop for the next A Life Well Wasted, and then I was sad that it hasn't been a week
A Life Well Wasted 9 will be released one week from today. Here’s the poster design by Olly Moss. Screenprints will be on sale from 9/4 through 9/11 on the ALWW website. Still ad-free! Come back next week.
