@remi @jimniels What an eloquent description of the most satisfying aspect of software development. Bravo! We named our #Abstractions podcast after this very concept: https://shows.arrowloop.com/@abstractions
Abstractions (@abstractions) • Activity

Abstractions is a podcast about technology, software, hardware, and the Internet, and the way the ever-increasing layers of these technologies permeate every aspect of our everyday lives.

3️⃣ Routable: Push and pop views of a specific navigation stack (navigationStack)

4️⃣ Selectable: Present a specific selection from an array of views (TabBar)

All types are described as #abstractions that can be attached to the #Navigator, providing specific methods as well. 🧩

I like the feeling of buying and owning great products — especially #software.

*Renting* software, on the other hand, does not give me the same warm fuzzies.

In the following episode of the #Abstractions #podcast, at about the 18:47 mark, I explain why I eschew software rental, and I also describe alternative pricing structures that provide much better alignment of interests between software vendors and end users.

In the latest episode of Abstractions, @webology inspires me to try my hand at LLM-powered command-line coding agents: OpenCode, OpenHands, and Claude Code. Plus, I replace Windows on my gaming rig with Bazzite Linux, putting the fun back into playing video games on PCs 🎮

Link follows below — I hope you enjoy the show!

We kick off the latest episode of the #Abstractions #podcast with an introduction to a great article by @judy2k about reinforcing #terminal command-line tool habits. We also delve into gaslight-driven development at SoundSlice, whereby @adrian and fellow developers decided to implement a feature that ChatGPT confabulated. We hope you enjoy the show! 🎧

Buffer Overrun. I have absorbed enough #PlugData info for now. Deep in the iterative place of #Abstractions vs #SubPatches - could this lead to a more efficient delivery of my #ShermanikFilterbank ? Possibly.
