Readit NewsI've moved to VS Code after almost 20 years of Emacs. Couldn't been happier.
Spent a little time hacking hotkeys to match my Emacs muscle memory and that's mostly it.
Now I have a debugger that's actually easy to use, ability to run the test case under the cursor in one click and support for Jupyter Notebooks. However, still missing tab completion.
I follow using Emacs, but for debug and AI.
Using both is not so bad.

Reduce human working hours.

Years ago, when I initially picked up Rust, I loved it. It does a lot of things right. At the same time, though, I knew there was a possibility of it going wrong in two opposite directions:
1. Developers balked at being required to take on the cognitive load required to allow GC-less memory management
2. Developers wore their ability to take on that cognitive load as a badge of honor, despite it not being in their best interest
I eventually came to the decision to stop developing in Rust, despite its popularity. It is really cool that its creators pulled it off. It was quite an achievement, given how different it was when it came out. I think that if I had to implement a critical library I would consider using Rust for it, but as a general programming language I want something that allows me to focus my mental facilities on the complexities of the actual problem domain, and I felt that it was too often too difficult to do that with Rust.
What are you developing in?

Less featureful than this, but we’ve been doing GRPC client side load balancing with kuberesolver[1] since 2018. It allows GRPC to handle the balancer implementations. It’s been rock solid for more than half a decade now.
What is the difference between Kuberesolver and using a Headless Service?
In the README.md file, they compare it with a ClusterIP service, but not with a Headless on "ClusterIP: None".
The advantages of using Kuberesolver are that you do not need to change DNS refresh and cache settings. However, I think this is preferable to the application calling the Kubernetes API.

Why do you use Erlang instead of Elixir?

Sorry to hijack a bit the thread. I have been using Emacs for the past 20+ years. Before I could live in Emacs, now, I find it harder (software forced on me by external customers, AI tools, ...).
I try everywhere I can to install an Emacs mode for code/text navigation. But they tend to be inconsistent and for some software, it is simply not possible.
Do you have good resources to help there (running Linux/Gnome)? Do you keep the faith or switched "out"?
Regarding AI, I don't have a replacement, but for code/text navigation, eglot is a good option.
I think that the AI CLI agents are the response for AI, but for now, I am opening VSCode with an Emacs extension and some keybinding changes.
