I don't want to use a full AI IDE, I've been using Gemini CLI a lot and it works better for my workflows to bring my own IDE and use Gemini CLI alongside it. My assumption is others are having annoyances for the same reason.

On: Threads users can now share to the open social web, a.k.a. the Fediverse

[TobinCavanaugh]

Maybe Fediverse is great, but i'm not using a technology who's logo is a rainbow pentagram that has fed in the name.

We programmers clearly seem to think we have nothing better to do than create edge case programming languages that solve incredibly niche problems in esoteric ways.

This is really, really significant imo. The idea of system wide tabs has been in the back of my head for a while, as well as moving away from the linux kernel. I've messed around with it a bit and I'm very impressed.

Starting from scratch is awesome, and I'm firmly in the group that we should not strive for backwards compatibility at this stage, and instead aim to maximize intuitiveness for both developers and users.
