The vs code integration is pretty slick. I can copy and paste function names into the prompt and it automatically turns them into these `#sym:` reference objects that I presume populate the context window with metadata about the function and where it lives. It knows what file I'm currently looking at as I jump around in the code, and that automatically gets loaded into the context. I can also drag and drop folders or specific files for context into the sidebar.
It's a lot of stuff that makes me have to type less into the prompt, since it's already getting so much info from my editor
As somebody who frequently switches between windows and Linux, I will pretty much never install an app that's only on one platform. Cross platform options mean I don't need to pay for or learn separate apps for the same thing on each OS
I don't care if it's QT or a WebView or something else, I just want to lower friction for myself
I feel the same way. I recently installed Windows XP in a VM for nostalgia and it was shocking how much I realized windows has improved since then.
I'm not obsessed with windows 11, but I am the happiest using it than I've been with any other version (aside from the TPM 2.0 requirement, that's my #1 complaint)
That's what got me into Vue and I still use build less Vue all the time for tiny little sites that aren't worth setting up a whole CI process for. It's really lovely that it's an option.
Just like how easy jQuery was to get started with back in the day, but a whole framework
I'm the same way, and I often feel like I don't know what the words that come out of my mouth will be until they happen.
I'm thinking in abstract feelings and images, and then it feels like some subconscious part of my brain is actually figuring out the words and saying them, if that makes any sense.
It can be spooky sometimes since it doesn't always feel like I'm in control of the specific words I use
It's not valid from a typing perspective, but python will let you. If you want to disregard types though then none of this matters anyway and you won't get much benefit from these tools
I've heard people say this, and believed it myself for a long time, but recently I set up a windows XP VM and was shocked by how bad the quality of life was.
I think nostalgia is influencing this opinion quite a bit, and we don't realize the mountain of tiny usability improvements that have been made since XP
