When I was young I imagined a future where nobody had to work because computers and robots could do it all.

txt file is great. Makes me wonder, does the author always have their laptop on them since that's the only place I know of where a txt file can live? Do they go to sleep and wake up next to their laptop?
I've always been an iPhone user and have never seen a .txt file on one and probably you wouldn't be able to edit one on an iPhone if you did have it in Files app - I'm not counting Notes app as a text file here.
I do quarterly notes inside of Notes app but it mostly non-work related stuff and doesn't integrate well with desktop since its kind of a pain to login to iCloud from browser. Quarterly notes bc once the note gets too long, it gets very laggy on phone and is difficult to navigate; i.e. getting to the bottom to write a new line can be tough on mobile.
https://gitjournal.io/ is something I've started using recently. I edit Markdown notes on my mobile device, and they are then automatically synced to a Git repository.

We're literally at the point where we have KYC laws just to post on the internet.
The slippery slope is long behind us, we're already at the bottom.
First they came for the people who worry about slippery slopes. I didn't speak out because I don't worry about slippery slopes. And that's that.
Genuine question: why js?
Why not something like c#: native, fast, crossplatform, strongly-typed, great tooling, supports both scripting (ie single file-based) and compiled to a binary with no dependency whatsoever (nativeAOT), great errors and error stacks, list goes on.
All great for AI to recover during its iterations of generating something useful.
Genuinely perplexed.
If I was to pick a language, I'd pick the one all developers agree is the best.

Someone finally figured out how to make it work under Linux!
Not sure I understand :) it's certainly available in nixos https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-25.11/pkgs/by-na...

When I see the grid syntax, I just wanna jump off a cliff. Who created this abomination and why? We need trials to check whether these were the output of humans or some synthetics pretending to be humans.
It's quite straightforward to find the discussions that lead to the specs, if you're interested in participating.

I've just been calling them that anyway since I found out they existed.
Also, this guy is calling HTML a programming language. Make of that what you will...
I've seen HTML and CSS being denied status as a programming language many, many times. It is a signal that the person making the claim hasn't encountered one of these debates before.
