@matteocollina @JohnMos26688606 This should save you quite a bit from not taking bad turns in future runs.

As the saying goes: moving beyond senior engineer is about the code that you PREVENT from being written!

@hemeon CSS was already next-level for those who came up with tables-all-the-way-down 😂

@andimarafioti been using it for MONTHS and genuinely love it!! https://t.co/fQ7RVfXKEY is a great OSS UI for it

[Oerd Cukalla @oerd]

SW engineering is about combining known patterns in _novel_ ways to reduce complexity. Software *will* get complex in time, by definition of the iterative/incremental approach to building software.

The crux is on the _novel_ part: agents cannot come up on their own with what they were never trained on.

But there is nothing wrong with guiding agents to apply what they already know in novel ways for you.

If you're reading a book, stop lying to yourself saying you'll remember it later.

Grab a pen and write it down instead.

@bbarski @mitsuhiko You can achieve the same with typeid, you don't even need to persist the prefix in the db if you wrap/unwrap identifiers properly.

@mjbommar @jetbrains I link to some jediterm issues in this post. Not calling them out explicitly, basically every terminal-as-a-second-thought system has these bugs. I'm exactly hoping something like this can be used by them. If Jetbrains reads this, please email me. I'd love to make it happen.

@adamdotdev @tauraamuix @h_kujtim @charmcli There's a bit of that here

[dax @thdxr]

tried to handle this in private but we stopped getting responses

charm is the company that tried to acquire opencode originally - the lead dev wanted to do it and me and adam did not

spoke with their CEO and he agreed that i owned the opencode name given the price i paid to acquire the domain and public association

didn't want some drawn out battle so compromise was they take the repo and i'd keep the name

it's been a month and we started fresh and built a brand new product...and they continue to use the name to confuse people

they also

- rewrote github history to unlink my commits
- registered new packages with a similar name to cause confusion
- banned adam from the original repo
- merged retracted PRs against authors' will
- deleted github comments asking for clarity

so a large % of people seeing us talk about opencode are landing in the wrong place

it's pretty embarrassing to try and hijack someone else's distribution

confirms my apprehension about their involvement in the first place
