@compfu SublimeText is great. I have written my own development environment (yes, yes, AI) that includes a text/code editor and Git. But for “proper” editing I still go back to Sublime, because it just is…sublime.

@dilmandila well, it was a chameleon. It probably hid in plain sight 😉

@compfu I am partial to more verbose code, so option 1 for me. I don’t like being to smart in my code as I know myself. I’d have forgotten what my smart code does by the next morning.

@compfu exakt so. Hatte nach der Spritze ganz schön Kopfkino. Ich wurde auch mit den Worten entlassen ich möge mich doch bitte von schwangeren Frauen und kleinen Kindern fernhalten. 😳

@numericcitizen sadly we have reached a price level that I am no longer willing to afford. 😕

@PixelVorschlag ich hatte damals für den C64 Snoopy. Zurückblickend ein grottenschlechtes Game. Ich bin meistens schon beim ersten Sprung in den Abgrund gestürzt. Aber die Snoopy Musik war toll. 😂

@AlexKucera point being there is no need to blame AI for sloppy human behaviour. 😉

Yes, yes. I’ll go an clean up my GitHub…eventually. 😇

@compfu to be fair that is not something that happens only since AI became a thing. My GitHub is littered with abandoned projects, some of them way before AI was a thing. Some of them are developed just enough to be usable by me for my specific use case. Oh and all of them are abandoned now on GitHub, because I moved to my own Gitea instance instead.

@manton while I do use AI for writing some of my posts, I would not want this. That is a recipe for AI slop. My AI writing uses careful prompting and several AI and human review passes.

@manton while anyone can ask AI to build anything, I don’t think they will. Same reason people don’t make pizza or don’t build their own furniture. There will always be creators and consumers.
That being said, I love being able to make my own software projects. I graduated from a bit of Python scripting to full blown iOS and macOS development without knowing much about Swift.
