The one real caveat to this is that if your application has particularly heavy cold starts it can be hard to actually run your worktrees. I usually end up swapping to a regular checkout as each worktree is due for hands-on attention.


I'm curious what the constraint preventing you from optimizing the cold start time - can you share more?


Same!

Vault is an Obsidian thing. This is just an "agent" (read: LLM harness in a loop) with access to it, a system prompt and a few markdown files. Nothing meaningful has changed in the LLM primitives, nor will it :)


The American discourse around these killings are actually insane. In any other developed country it wouldn't be possible to escalate these situations like this regardless of what you were doing.

Without in any way excusing the clear and obvious excess of the US DHS and ICE here, you should at least read various Coroner's findings in respect of Australian police interactions with indigenous Australians.

eg: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-07/kumanjayi-walker-inqu...

Various police forces around the globe, in Australia, Canada, the UK, and elsewhere have their subgroups with encrypted chat accounts detailing at length their contempt for various others .. women, particular minorities and ethnicities, etc.

They often exchange grooming notes on provoking "officer-induced jeopardy" .. how to escalate a situation into what passes for "justified homicide" or least a chance to put the boot in.

The only insanity is in the defence of the killing(s).

On the most recent event, a reduced-speed video showing one agent (centre, bent over at beginning) removing the victim's firearm from his waistband, then a second agent (left) waiting for the first to get clear, and then pulling his pistol (video stops before any shooting):

Ugh a terminal purist. Just as insufferable as the ones in person at work. Yeah have fun with your gigantic unorganized git diffs I guess.


You can clean up git diffs a lot, I personally find them easy to ready anyway, with tools like delta[1] which make things super nice to read. Also if you use a text editor such as neovim you can integrate these things into your editor and get beautiful diffs right there.

That said I do not use neovim or delta, I just use git diffs or my language ide's diff features.

All I can see here is “if I use two extra tools, I can almost have as good an experience as vscode (or IntelliJ or whatever) gives me out of the box”.


You mean adding a few lines to a config file once and never think about it again? Some people don’t want to have to deal with why they see as a load of bloated ‘features’, preferring instead to just focus on the task at hand, and that’s okay.

The article is as misguided as the snarky pushback. Let people work however they’re most comfortable and productive, why does it have to be a purity contest?


Don’t forget installing _and discovering_ those tools.

Absolutely agree on it not being a purity contest. The article deserves pushback _because_ it’s arguing for purity


I use magit with emacs, Id say terminal purists and vscoders are missing out. But now I probably sound like that insufferable emacs guy from work.


Like you said I think it's culture, particularly ones that are food oriented. It's gonna be hard to get buy-in if people think it's too weird.


The tact aspect seems like a real possibility. In a world where users are likely to cut&paste responses it can't really be sprinkling in references like this.


Is this written by AI?

Also pretty funny to compare to peanut butter & jelly, goes to show American self-centrism, and also the same bubble that's around AI tooling.


My favourite one was debugging a crash in an Electron app deployed to iOS. It turned out throwing an exception from a point event callback (deep in our app's code) was bubbling up into the device's kernel code.


> an Electron app deployed to iOS

Not possible, as far as I know.


maybe it was React Native? That does support iOS and it's close enough to "yet another Electron app" that there could be overlap in thought.


It's not close at all.


I agree with the article, but that's not how the vibe coders see themselves. From their perspective they can't see the gap between programming and product, and in my experience are pretty hostile to feedback from real software engineers.
