    I am probably guilty of this sometimes. Where there's a focus on the technical points and not the story in the text. The beats moving from one point to the next, disjointed and without good flow...

    The only thing bad about git is that people centralised in using GitHub as a common source repository hosting platform, antithetical to the idea of a decentralised VCS.

    But that's just what people do: we trade some functionality for convenience.

    Same kinda. Some combined game of Civ + simcity + aoe depending on the view level.

    • zoomed in to control the individual units like it's an rts like AOE.
    • zoomed out a bit and its city builder level of control.
    • zoomed out further it's civilisation level.
    • zoom out more and it's an implied observational simulation of a planet, perhaps with some control over LEO/space activities.

    I vibed some edits to a c++ codebase for some t-deck MeshCore firmware.

    • mute/unmute of convos.
    • tap sender name to fill a reply prefix in the text input field ("@[name]")
    • render emoji in messages and names
    • dialog to select a few emoji to send in a message.

    I don't know enough about c++ or esp development to really challenge the llm on the code it outputs. But it compiles, builds a firmware file that can be flashed, and these changes appear to work.
    Compared to a Typescritpt/Python/webapp project, I'm blissfully ignorant of the trash it might be making.

    Yeah, wanted more control. I have never got my head around the syntax used in the layout files for Hugo themes.

    I could probably write a parcel resolver to replace the gist.py script I use for collecting the gists. But meh.

    Another thing I've done with Parcel is making a guestbook that uses a GitHub repo as the store of guestbook entries. Actions to redeploy the website, and a telegram bot as moderation & committing to the submissions repo.

    There's a cloudflare thing in there as a gateway between the Python api running the bot.
