@KirkPettinga @sveltejs @supabase @Netlify I've been using Svelte + Supabase + Cloudflare and it's been such an amazing experience!

0/ Remote work isn't exceptional as companies that are spread around multiple offices have done it for the last many years. The special sauce is communicating asynchronously as the default 💡 Here's a thread about why.

[Noah Dunbar @NoahDunbarDev]

Async communication is a gift from God, but then man decided to throw it out in spite

My grandparents survived the nazis, my parents endured communism, I had to live through religious oppression since the age of 10, and now some spoiled brats think I'll bend my knee to their rainbow flag, or else they'll type some words.

I already have a flag I'm proud of.

this is how music cds worked, it's how dvds worked, and it's how physical games worked

you don't own the games or movies on your physical media either. you own a disc containing licensed content

the only difference is that a physically-granted license can't be revoked remotely

I use Windows because:
1. WSL
2. I enjoy gaming (Linux support is getting better which is awesome)
3. I use some non-Linux software

I mained Linux for a couple years, had to re-install every few months - I know it's on me, but still very annoying

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

I can understand engineers who use Linux. I can understand engineers who use macOS. I really don’t understand engineers who use Windows (except windows app developers). By understand I mean I can see the value system they operate under. It just seems bad for non-Windows dev work

A few people saw me coding while I was in LA last weekend and asked,

"Hey, do you use Cursor or Copilot?"

I do not, and I think it's important to share the reason why.

I tested Copilot in VS Code for a few months earlier this year. Yes, it feels like magic.

But then I noticed a change in my behavior. I'd type up the name of a function I wanted to create...

...and then I'd just wait.

I was waiting for the robot to do my thinking for me.

I've heard @ThePrimeagen call this the "Copilot Pause" and that was 100% my experience.

I remember initially having this defensive thought pattern:

"Well, code auto-complete isn't going away, and I'm still getting good at the higher-level architecture! I shall be the conductor of machines, all shall love me and despair"

But that wasn't true at all. In reality, I was just unconsciously outsourcing my ability to solve problems in addition to outsourcing knowledge of the syntax.

So I uninstalled it (and saved myself the $10/mo in the process).

I do use LLMs in the browser, but in a conscious way. I make a point of seeking out official docs, and of trying to interpret error messages myself instead of mindlessly pasting them.

I do think these tools are extremely useful.

But it also seems that, just as extremely, they entice me to change my habits around problem-solving and mental effort – for the worse.

I think it's very important to be careful how much we rely on them.
