"Something went wrong" as an error message should be a war crime

Everyone's obsession with mean FPS value across a whole benchmark is a pox on our industry. We need to start also talking about meaningful measures of the first and second derivatives

This is a hot take thread, don't @ me.

(Actually do @ me but only if your argument meets an International Silly Threshold of 7)

Game engines are just another extension of platform economics and we should be focusing on building up composable interoperable tools instead.

Almost every GUI for git is terrible, not because it's badly designed or hard to use, but because learning to use them is a waste of time when git on the command line is far better, ubiquitous and simple once you learn it

Your hatred for systemd really just stems from a life long failure to learn to truly love yourself first

@mdiluz The "almost" part is key, because Magit exists and that's basically worth learning Emacs for by itself.

@Samsai Magit isn't a GUI, but also tbf it's more of a wrapper right? You're still using git commands.

@mdiluz Depends on how a GUI is defined. It's not a mouse-clickety-click GUI although it could possibly be used as such. And while there are pretty clear mappings from the interface to Git commands, the UI changes the flow of things to smoothly combine capabilities of multiple commands and flags easily. If it were an ordinary GUI program with the same UI design, it would still quite probably be the most competent Git GUI out there.

@Samsai I think or emacs as more of a TUI tbh, but obviously it's on the border, unlike vim

@Samsai but anyway yeah, my caveat on what I said is I'm mostly just talking about learning git - once you're proficient use whatever you want. No way I'd ever recommend someone learns emacs, then learns magit, to learn git!
