This might be a good occasion to remind you that I've mostly moved to Mastodon some time ago and you might want to follow me there 🙃 https://t.co/mCawFEPac4
@armando1987dim@the_aiju It's not a hard rule, but I think every directory should have a reason for its existence, to justify its navigation overhead. Reasons for me would be "there are *many* subprojects", or "they share a shell.nix" or "I have to execute commands from that directory"
@armando1987dim@the_aiju Most of the time, categories are fuzzy and break down at edge cases. And people tend to make overly deep hierarchies, with only a couple of elements on each level. (Compare the Rust module system with Java's packages for example)
@the_aiju Then, have one folder per project, keep fs hierarchies flat (don't group related independent projects, except for true sub-projects), never ever reference a sibling project with .. (use submodules instead if necessary)
@the_aiju Do you want to optimize for learning or optimize for fun? If it's the former, then why does it compete with video games in your brain? If it's the latter, you should like *doing* the project regardless of its outcome (which includes how much you'll learn)
@the_aiju It depends on what you want to use it for: If you want to use LLMs for automation purposes rather (which people want to do) than for personal assistance with a human in the loop, you better judge it on the worst-case scenarios.
@the_aiju Either the companies would become extremely stifled (tbh they already are), or CEO would become an ejection-seat position occupied by marionettes where the actual decision makers keep themselves in the background.
@the_aiju Honestly I still prefer threads over long posts even on Mastodon. I really like the idea that it is chunked and you can like/retweet/reply to individual bits instead of the whole.
@__alula@the_aiju@signalapp@telegram I'm sorry but it *is* a big deal even though most people don't know/care. But the real issue here is that Telegram's encrypted chats have worse UX than everything else. I'd prefer *WhatsApp* over that.
@the_aiju Easy to test theory: it predicts that you'll love Rachmaninoff https://t.co/bRc5CJ8Qjv (I also recommend having a look at one of the score following videos for that one)
