Yeah, sorry. I know the last two posts in the linked thread were AI summaries of long internal & colleague discussions… But I didn’t want to rewrite it all, nor I could share original discussions without heavy filtering. But I mean what those posts say, even if the words aren’t “exactly” mine.

I often call code, documentation or logic enterprisey. It’s when the code is full of stuff that is utterly pointless relative to the actual task being executed and ravioli coded into huge number of small files, each having extensive scaffolding and documentation.

I just realized that the native macOS app, whose sole purpose is to batch-rename files with optionally saved templates, has over the years become an Electron app. The old Intel macOS version that I still use is 5 MiB in size, the current Electron one 555 MiB, 110 times more.

Yeah, it gained Windows support, which I’m totally not interested in. I’m interested in nimble but capable native apps.

Kthxbai, I guess.

Obviously it can not keep increasing at this rate, otherwise the file size of the next version will be infinite.

I want a super fast 5Mb IDE.
