I built one of these and I really wanted to love it, but in the end gave up because I just couldn't get comfortable with 3+ layers. On the lookout for a reasonably aesthetic TKL split - at least until I give in and make my own.

This is my favourite way to iterate, but the hard lesson is at some point after trying a bunch of things comes the Big Cleanup (tm). Is that a potential issue for this with Zig?

From my perspective zig doesn't have "big cleanup" upfront. It's removing older features as it goes.

stdlib changes as it wants from version to version. So do language features. Since zig is pre-1.0, zig foundation isn't scared of breaking changes.


0.16's IO API changes might be that cleanup.

So if it can generate exactly what you had in mind based presumably on the most subtle of cues like your personal quirks from a few sentences that could be _terrifying_, right?

Doesn't this mean the ones that should be really worried are the project managers, since the SWE has better understanding over what's being done and can now orchestrate from a PM level?


Both should realize that if this all works out according to plan then there eventually reaches a point that there is no longer a need for their entire company, let alone any individual role in it.


Isn’t that carcinogenic?


Isn't a pretty wide range of products you'd use for this? I guess vegetable oil isn't and it works fine. Fluidfilm I don't think is either. I wear PPE for this reason however.


If you want a clean cheap petroleum oil, chainsaw bar oil will work. Generally I prefer the generic Tractor Supply bar oil because it seems a lot stickier than walmart's version which seems more like hydraulic fluid to me. But either way it is cheap because in a chainsaw 95% of it is just sprayed all over the place anyways.


The last time I bought chainsaw bar oil I think it has added sulfur or something like that. I'm not really sure. It's actually worse to work with than used motor oil. Used motor oil starts out clean & is constantly being filtered in a normal motor.


Might just depend on the brand and luck. Ive always suspected that bar oil was either extra of whatever oil product didn't sell at the time, or an oil product that didn't technically meet spec for another application like hydraulic or transmission or engine oil.


Only if it's used and only if it's ingested.

Clean motor oil is not actually that harmful if swallowed - it only carcinogenic because of all the metals and carbon it builds up when in the motor.


"I just use used motor oil."

Used, not clean.


Better not lick the bolts then


The aditives in a new engine oil are carcinogenous and toxic already.


The dropdown systems are something else, I spent almost as much time on that as I did on the rest of the interface when I tried Shadcn.


There are dragons here. The hope, presumably, is to be able to describe a solution at a high level and have an AI figure out the details instead of a developer (or detail oriented) person. The problem I can see with this is ownership over those details, AI can't currently explain its reasoning or react too well to issues that crop up with its own previous decisions, since it's usually a 'fresh' instance for each prompt. In other words it might know how, but it can't know why. Or at least not without retracing every step every time.


Kinda odd they didn't call it masonry given it's already been called that forever. At least grid-lanes is reasonably self explanatory.


I'm pleased they rename it because grid-lanes opens up more than masonry layouts.

I've been waiting to be able to have a fully responsive layout (where interleave sidebar content in with the page content on small screens, but have it in a sidebar on larger screens) without using any JavaScript, and this finally makes it possible.

The naming was half the discussion on implementing this. There were a lot of people smarter and more knowledgeable than me that had a lot of opinions on the name that I hadn't thought about. I remember one of the reasons was that the word "masonry" wasn't as obvious a concept for non-English speakers.


If only this was the actual standard for journalism and not copy pasting half understood content with additional spin.


If what you are typically reading is

>[copypasta] half understood content with additional spin

then what you are reading is not journalism.


> then what you are reading is not journalism

In most cases, if you aren't paying for it, it is not journalism.


Mux was getting a bit too expensive for the way we were using it, so I wrote a Sanity plugin for video hosting on Bunny CDN, it’s been fantastic!
