I find it funny how, in my opinion, Go adheres to The Zen of Python much better than Python itself.

@mitchellh thanks for building this! i like the idea B)

pessimist take: assuming this gains momentum (which i hope it does), i wonder how long it'll take until some more radical folks (on both sides of the political spectrum) will en masse block people on "the other side" from contributing to their projects. and then we'll have many blocklists of open-source developers. kind of like we have blocklists in adblock.

Every enterprise app feels like typing on a mushy membrane keyboard. You click a button and get a gentle animation, a swooshy transition, a soft bounce, and zero clear feedback that anything actually happened. The entire B2B software industry optimized for how tools feel during a fifteen-minute sales demo instead of how they perform across an eight-hour workday, and the result is professional software with the tactile precision of poking a marshmallow.

—resolve host:port:ip-address

to your command line*.

*) Yes, that about all DNS does for you. Prettty lame, right?💁🏻‍♂️

kinda crazy that it required the invention of fake thinking machines to force software engineers to finally document how to do stuff in their projects. my colleagues think they're writing SKILLS and COMMANDS for agents and it ain't wrong but they're also useful for the human in the loop

You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not online. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn.

The most successful grift of the modern era was convincing the smartest people in the world that “changing the world” means optimizing the click-through rate on ads for mattresses that ship in a box
