Small but important change in CORTEX LABS: I shrink the bootloader and mouse_driver so now both fits in the boot-sector (512 bytes)! Game is dos/bare-metal agnostic.

IDEs, UNIX, AND THE LEGACY WORKFLOW THAT NEVER WENT AWAY

Words of Wisdom are dispensed in the article

I have a workflow consisting of

• screen
• bash or one of
• csh
• ksh
• zsh
• vim or
• vim.motif
• function third(){ awk '{if (NR%3==0){print "\033[32m" $0 "\033[0m"} else{print}}'; }
• function psgrep() { ps axuf | grep -v grep | grep "$@" -i --color=auto; }
• function mkcd(){ [ ! -z "$1" ] && mkdir -p "$1" && cd "$_"; }
• gcc
• g++
• asm
• ln
• go from golang
• lsd
• ncdu

These choices are deliberate. I want and demand the fastest programming ENV: which follow the UNIX principle & KISS

quotes

tl;dr*

Unix already solved many IDE problems decades ago using small cooperating tools instead of one large application.

• bash
• coreutils
• less
• tmux
• nvialready form a complete and focused development environment for many Unix workflows.

The shell becomes the workspace, the terminal manages sessions, and the editor remains small and predictable
