Based on past experience, fairly truthful.

I’m still a bit sceptical over LLMs but I’ve used copilot for line code completion for a few years now.

More recently I’ve started playing about with agents. I’ve been using avante.nvim for a couple of months with Claude and quite like it. The setup was a bit of a faff but it works quite well and has support for the more mainstream agents.

Over the last few days I’ve started trying out augment code which has a neovim plugin. Still on the fence about that one.

I’m no expert when it comes to any of this but this is what I’ve been messing about with. Hope it’s useful!

Sorry you’re having to deal with this. Sounds like a rough ride 😔

Good times

Society if news orgs had to put 1000 local currency in a public trump jar per article:

At this point it’s just an obvious: threaten high tariffs, then backtrack tactic.

I am slowly but surely doing my best to de-americanise my shopping/spending habits thanks to his bullying tactics.

This is just a nice reminder that I can, and should, be doing more 😅

A few banners already do this. I do wish they all would do it, even as a second click when you have all the options listed would be an improvement.

Had more overtakes than we will see at Monaco.

Laundry, drinking, and gaming. In that order with a side of the Monday scaries that fully kick in on a Sunday afternoon.

Chip shop near me when I was growing up used to deep fry frozen deep dish cheese pizza. Would recommend.

Ngl, that actually sounds amazing…

You say deranged but I say you’re living your best life, nice job 👏

Mine is egg. Don’t do it. It is the one, and only, time I’ve binned a pizza.

I went 100% -> tkl -> 60% -> corne (couldn’t do it) -> lilly58 -> kenisis -> dactyl

If you can solder then kits aren’t expensive vs pre built. Go for hot swap and you can start out with cheaper switches and experiment from there. And if you can’t solder then it’s actually good way to learn 🤣

Don’t compare yourself to the rest of the comments. If your setup works for you then it’s a good setup.

If you’re interested in becoming more keyboard driven, start with learning vscode/db gui shortcuts for things that you do a lot: executing queries, jump to definition, or renaming variables, etc.

We’re all on our own journey as cringe as it may sound. Mine was due to wrist, thumb, and shoulder pain rather than being super productive.

For normal text I do have home/end bound but use it so infrequently that I forget them 😅

I use a dactyl but did use a 60% for a while. Vim key binds in your ide are the way forward.

Using a keyboard like that made me eventually switch over to neovim full time from vscode.

They’re both good but I’ve gotta say, I’ll not go back to a flat keyboard anytime soon.

Wouldn’t say that it particularly boosts speed. I had a fairly big speed drop while learning to adapt.

Everyone’s different but it took a month of using it all day as well as doing typing exercises to get up to 70wpm.

I did the switch to an ergo keyboard because I was having shoulder and wrist pain and it seems to have helped rather than cured.

Is quite portable, more so than the Kinesis advantage I was using.

I’ve got a laptop rucksack and its fine to dump it in there. Haven’t had any issues with it.

One day I’ll get round to modding in an on/off switch to disconnect the battery but today is not that day.

For a size guide, this is how it stacks up against a corne which was my travel board (mouse for scale):
