I’m so glad we did this. Being able to reference the default new app experience over time is amazing.

I love both kon-peki and syo-ro, don’t choose just get both 😝

Planning to setup in half of the garage. It’s gonna be a bit tight, but should work. 🙏🤞

Once everything comes in and I get it setup (likely a couple weeks at least?) I’m planning on starting StrongLifts 5x5.

Oh no, I totally agree with you!! I think this is basically the normal vaccination / herd immunity argument and I’m so here for it!

FWIW, I believe that HPV in men can cause oropharyngeal cancer (actually seems to be nearly as common in men as cervical cancer is in women — based on CDC page).

Ha! I actually just got my last dose about 2 weeks ago!! Good on you!

I can’t tell if this is an endorsement or a warning… 🤔

I’m mostly using iOS. I don’t see a way to have the app update the list of posts without jumping to the top of the feed. If you click the little arrow to the bottom right (that has a blue “new items” indicator) or if you get to the top of the feed and pull to refresh it jumps you to the top of feed.

I wonder how the next generation of devs will build their fundamental understanding (and avoid magical thinking). Hmm, maybe this is the same as the GPS argument, or a variant. 🤔

My primary concern isn’t something that @macwright.com brought up though: it’s one thing for senior devs to talk through the process of some rando architecture and make a choice, but for a more junior dev to without all the context it’s massively more difficult to separate the signal from the noise.

This is a great piece. I think I agree with basically all of the points, and I’m still strongly in camp “these things are very useful”. I use them (mostly not the autocomplete form — which I find to be closer to a “parlor trick”; but the @zed.dev style chat with editing capabilities).

THIS INFURIATES ME!!!

Haha, I do like the feel / vibe / whatever, but I can’t stand the “loosing my spot” thing at all.

Yes, please!!! Haha, I remember planning budgets like that with @stefanpenner.bsky.social around how long ember-cli addons would be allowed to take during their various hooks (as a way to ensure various commands were fast enough). Such a good idea. Hard to implement retroactively though.

Ya totally! The collaboration features and their AI integrations are some of the things that really got me to pay attention.

Ya, totally! The custom feeds functionality is amazing. I can absolutely see that kinda thing working much better than even Tweet Deck ever did (though I loved Tweet Deck!).

I tend to use the mobile app so far (and likely will always use it much more than desktop, just due to my normal usage patterns), but I'll give the main site a go today and see how that works for me.

Maybe this is just a situation where I need to use a different client or something? Ivory (for Mastodon) for example has this behavior by default (and I love it). 🤔
