I use oxc tooling and it's great to see the rust rewrite singularity in action and get to ride the fastest horses, but I would like that they made a branch for 7.2 as experiment to see how it compares. Maybe this ends in a win for Microsoft, they could cut operating expenses by keeping just Anders Hejlsberg in a hammock reciting invariants to claudpilot.
tmux is great, specially when you need persistence in a remote server where you don't want or can't install any other software, and when you are stuck with some 2010 terminal emulator.
But if you have control over your setup, I would use a capable terminal and ditch in-band multiplexers that sit in the middle of the process and your terminal eating up escape sequences and native features while adding latency. Then use a separate tool for session persistence (I like zmx but there are more for this).
> Many programmers spend relatively little time ac-
tually doing programming, i.e., writing, debugging, test-
ing, or documenting code. Much of their time is occupied
with mundane chores, meetings, or various kinds of
breaks and interruptions. Additional time is taken in
becoming familiar with new applications or new devel-
opment environments.

> Automatic Programming
The term "automatic programming" has been used
for many years to refer to the process by which an
executable program may be produced from nonproce-
dural specifications of the task to be performed. Some
limited forms of automatic programming are already
available and more will become available in the medium
term. Over the longer term, it will be possible for pro-
grammers to create running programs by providing a
specification of program functions and outputs, without
having to proceed with a detailed program design or
with the production of code.
Well as far as actual programming is concerned, little has fundamentally changed since then. We still sit at keyboards and edit code with a text editor.
That's basically what the job was up until LLMs came along.

TIL about the name of this phenomenon. I see this always in the context of "terminal online anime fan" but it made me think and look into other occurrences of similar parasocial behavior like the early Sherlock Holmes fandom.
With this current social and tech trends I think we are going to see more Pygmalionic SexBots startups in next cohorts.
The name doesn't really mean anything though. "Sexual attraction to a fictional character" and "fictosexuality" are the exact same word, one is just shorter. You can make up a word to shorten anything. Maintaining milk in your fridge can be called lactostasis.
I bet you should shot the journalist here. Having sexual feelings toward fictional characters is basically watching porn. You can't bucket that with romantic. I bet the journalist confused the two in the that remark. There's no romantic "parasocial" behavior there.
I read and love all from Derek. I like that he always makes you think through, even when starting from simple and stupid ideas.
Personally I tend to dismiss myself as stupid, because many times I detect I'm being misguided by lazyness and not wanting to think things through, which obviously makes me feel so smart that I could spend all day trapped in this stupid paradox.
