@kmckelvin Nice, enjoy!

@Colonthreee You must be a clanker

@jerrodtuck @luisgonzaleznf @nikita_builds “Make it a lot easier”.. where’s “for me?”

[Alexander Blair @ZanderBlair]

@jerrodtuck @luisgonzaleznf @nikita_builds You didn’t specifically say it only made it easier for you

[Alexander Blair @ZanderBlair]

@macrocephalopod Man needs sectioning asap

[Alexander Blair @ZanderBlair]

@jerrodtuck @luisgonzaleznf @nikita_builds Don’t even need tmux. My setup is:
- Claude —worktree in one terminal tab
- Next tab - open Neovim in same folder
- Next tab - open terminal (and run setup commands e.g.yarn + ctags).

Then each worktree is self-contained in a terminal window

@plainionist Never did

@housecor Isn’t that like any other engineering skill? If you know something well you’ll have better judgement on whether it’s done a good job or not. Though this is probably true for any fairly trivial regex use case.

[Alexander Blair @ZanderBlair]

@mitsuhiko I think this will be the common reality. It could actually still be useful if they can show the concept and the engineer then does it properly

@elvissun @FastCompany @garrytan Legacy devs will be the ones cleaning up the slop dumpster fires created by the builders who don’t know the first thing about software

@brankopetric00 Sack the CTO

[Alexander Blair @ZanderBlair]

@ml4pai @BilalBudhani Still a skill issue

[Alexander Blair @ZanderBlair]

@ornithop_fyi @BilalBudhani It’s really not that difficult to protect against n+1 through the built-in strict loading settings since Rails 6, or a gem like Bullet

@BrosephTft Wouldn’t those stats be doubled for a Street Demon?

@BepoCarrot 😂😂 next up..
Bronze for life + built diff
Exiles + mentorship

[Alexander Blair @ZanderBlair]

@Espen_Antonsen @heroku Ugh not again

[Alexander Blair @ZanderBlair]

@0xTriboulet @zeeg I feel like using Vim key bindings is the worst of both worlds. That’s how I started, but then when I wanted to use anything remotely advanced beyond the very basic keys it wasn’t supported. Maybe that’s changed since!

[Alexander Blair @ZanderBlair]

@zeeg When I first started using Vim I immediately added a ton of plugins that meant I didn’t really learn the basic functionality. You gotta raw dog it for a while to become proficient. Now I have minimal config, git plugin, linter plugin + ctags and that’s it

@yacineMTB Skill issue

[Alexander Blair @ZanderBlair]

@historyinmemes I mean we’ve all seen “didn’t fail a test” doesn’t necessarily = clean
