Hammerspoon maybe?
DauntingPear7··on Vibe Code Warning – A personal casestudy
But a chair cannot be copied from one home to another. Code uniquely can be. Good (perhaps artisanal) code is useful and better for everyone. The foundational improvements by a single person can get magnified throughout a project, while with other crafts the quality of their output does not have the same effect.
DauntingPear7··on Tinkering is a way to acquire good taste
If you dislike the terminal or aren’t comfortable there, you should try using the vim keybinds for VSCode. They’ll get you most of the way there, and the rest is a lot of customization to get things how you like. The vim motions are the best part! They take a while to get used to, but they’re incredibly convenient.

Too many em dashes -> AI
DauntingPear7··on Helium Browser
Highly doubt that, as they’re already known in the OSS community. Browser Co. expanded as fast as possible without any way to make revenue, then ditched their flagship product to make a bad agentic browser

Probably Zen, as Arc is dead
DauntingPear7··on The Last Programmers?
Yeah. For this to work, something like git worktrees would be needed, or multiple clones of the repo. Claude loses the plot if you reject a change, and fix a line manually, and don’t tell it to explicitly recheck files. There’s no way this can be done in parallel on the same codebase without something like worktrees being used. Additionally, I can’t imagine, with how sweeping Claude’s changes can be, that there aren’t merge conflicts absolutely everywhere, crippling development speed.

Continuing to code from the toilet would be a great use case for this ngl
DauntingPear7··on How should I introduce my 13-year-old daughter to programming?
I think you’re over estimating the intellect of the average 3rd grader here. I think a gentle and feedback/visually oriented method would be best
DauntingPear7··on How should I introduce my 13-year-old daughter to programming?
When I was in 3rd-5th grade I really enjoyed scratch. In middle school I started learning python mostly on my own. I found how Python did classes/OOP extremely challenging and confusing to my middle school brain, but it was pretty simple otherwise.
