we should strive to build boring, simple, reliable things. feature bloat is real.

People keep asking me how many times I open neovim a month these days now that AI is around. It's zero
I've been stuck in NeoVim for literally 10 years. Someone please send help. I cannot get out. I'm desperately trying to get out and I can't figure it out. Even the AI is confused. We're both stuck in command mode, in terminal mode, and we can't leave. Nobody knows what the shortcut is. Help please. Help, help, help.

two days in so far, @SinkingStarGame is such a fun experience and an absolute steal for $30 (switch2)

If you’re using any AI tooling, this should be the minimum bar.
The "whiteboard defense:" I should be able to pull you aside at any moment and ask you to explain any customer-facing system you've shipped. You should be able to clearly explain how it works and defend the decisions you made. This is my benchmark for responsible AI usage.
I don't expect line-level familiarity with the code. I don't care if you remember the exact function name or implementation detail. You may not even know it. I don't care.
But if I ask "why did you do X instead of Y?", "what happens if this actor behaves maliciously?", "what data structure did you use here and why?", or "where does this fail?" you should be able to answer confidently.
For PoCs, demos, experiments, whatever: I don't care. Generate 100% of it and understand none of it. Speed over quality every time in those specific scenarios.
But if you're shipping customer-facing work, you can't be shipping things you don't understand at a high level.

I'm gifting three Blick (blickeditor.com, @Blick_Editor) licenses to students or younger creators (one Supporter, two Basic).
If you’re a student or a younger creator, reply with a screenshot, video, or demo of something cool you work on. I’ll pick three people from the replies.
You can try Blick for free, so do that (if you haven’t) to see if you’re interested.
