reassuring folks that I can use our linting tools in Vim or from the command line and disliking VS Code a little more than I did yesterday, since they seem doubtful / confused that ruff is usable outside the VS Code extension?

I am genuinely unsettled by the degree of culture clash.

Oh thank goodness a housecleaning ticket. I love those.

No really. Put me in a cluttered codebase and tell me to fix just the one bug and I’ll be crabby for weeks.

@rekiwi “We set up a base Ruff configuration, you get this ticket to clean up the issues it finds.”

“Base configuration? Do you have other settings you’d like to check and clean up?” I ask, coyly running my hands along the keyboard.

(looking at the number of changes in my pull request)

well they did say they wanted me to take ownership of the code

careful what you wish for?

@brianfenton “look upon my revisions, ye 10x Techbros, and despair!”

@brianfenton they look like they’re about to ask me if I have stairs in my house

hackers.town: 2023-11-16 Thu 14:05

@brianfenton well regardless they are here to protect you

+378, -359

Not too bad actually. Yeah meeting the original housekeeping ticket called for maybe ¼ of that.

Whatever.

Oh good AppFlowy got funding. I figured those LLM enhancements would pay off.

No I don’t use it.

No I don’t plan to.

But hey good luck to them. Hope they enjoy satisfying the funders.

AppFlowy was interesting to me as a sort of FOSS Notion, but they’ve rapidly made decisions to be even more like Notion, Loop etc

Funding ironically makes them a smaller fish in a meaner pond.

Eh, but I’m just being crabby. Everybody gotta pay rent. I really am happy for the AppFlowy project and hope they find success, even if I’ve got no interest as their project becomes a product.

I’m the one who takes the rage-inducing incompetence of a flubbed heater installation and turns it into a curious science fact.

And while you’re listening to me, @IamMrsGeek cuts you.

@IamMrsGeek teamwork makes the dream work
