This is the most frustrating thing. People making tooling often assume it is OK if it runs on their macbook and don't care about anything else. Rust ecosystem avoids this a bit these days since it had a lot of focus on high quality CLI tools, but very frustrating with a lot of AI tooling.

i regret this already. powershell 7 has to be installed side-by-side alongside regular powershell which breaks app functionality for quite a lot of stuff that i use (namely direnv, lazygit and others)
non-unix tooling is ok... using linux native tooling however is a bad time

i have bought a new laptop and decided to try using windows again installing cursor first has made it much easier to install everything else. not the ideal solution of course, but it is far superior to trying to re-learn everything

I have a couple of thoughts on this...
1) I missed it entirely, because compiler support is far more interesting than standards releases in C++, and compiler support trails by YEARS.
2) It seems like each C++ revision focuses on solving smaller and significantly more specialized problems. But reflection and simd are nice parts of this, at first glance.
3) If it's generally agreed that C++ has big problems, isn't a focus on smaller more specialized ones implying that the language is moving away from increased viability? Not sure.

C++26 shipped in March. Here's what you can try today: GCC 16.1: reflection, contracts, constexpr exceptions, expansion statements, most library features Clang (experimental): reflection via Bloomberg's fork MSVC: limited C++26 support, reflection not yet available Compiler Explorer has both GCC 16 and the Clang fork 🧵👇

@dillon_mulroy Too many paths lead to success and the processes are too non-deterministic to converge to any optimum... yet.

Is annoying that I can trace half my genealogy back to the 1700s due to the relatively massive amount of colonial record keeping but I can’t trace my Danish side back further than my great grandparents because everyone in the state was a loop of Nels Jensens and Jens Nelsens.

I do wish Rust/Cargo builds would use up an order of magnitude less disk space.
I was unable to contribute on the Windows side of React Native WebView because its builds used up 8 GB, filling up my 256 GB work laptop. I can't imagine needing 300 GB spare to contribute to Zed!

Our devs `cargo clean` at least twice a week. 💾 📈⚡️

AI coding is faster but requires a lot of iteration such that it feels like you have to have three things going to make it worthwhile. This is just a feeling. Not really a good criticism. These past two weeks have been frustrating. Changes that work and are massive improvements but are complicated enough to have several subtle issues.

@olson_dan why did it take so much longer to review? was the solution very complicated? did the author (prompter) not review or understand the code themselves?

@olson_dan huh, that made me wonder if it’s still around, and it seems to be down entirely

Lots of people don't understand professionalism. I got into a fight on Private Invite-Only Game Industry Forum (tm) one time about people talking shit about competitive products. "It's unprofessional." "No it's not, it's marketing!" Professionalism starts with mutual respect. If you don't have that basic foundation, just don't talk.

Blogpologists telling everyone they don’t understand or care about professionalism in open source.

Andrew Kelley’s blog post was fine actually. God forbid someone holds opinions and has a personality that’s not filtered through 10 layers of corporate code of conduct censorship. I wish more people in tech wrote like this from time to time
