"How to run a website in Germany" by @allaboutberlin.bsky.social is also *very* helpful (and extremely clear): allaboutberlin.com/guides/websi...

This site is also very useful: european-alternatives.eu

A big plus, the Bunny control panel is actually pleasant to use.
I've generally been happy with the CF service, but find the control panel to be a maze of twisty passages…

I'll allow it. Positive vibes only 😄

I find railroad diagrams best as a supplemental representation. I recently wrote a Pascal grammar based on the famous Apple poster, and it was surprisingly tricky!

Totally agree! Btw, if you haven't seen it before, this paper on Kotlin coroutines is a great overview of the design space: www.researchgate.net/profile/Mikh...

100%. There's this idea that (roughly) "you should be able to go from brainstorming to production in the same tool" and I always thought, maybe that's not actually a good thing.

Is it roughly a "state" maybe?

Director terminology I assume?

And Retcon looks great, but I haven't tried it yet.
I almost started building a DnD git tool back in 2011. It always seemed crazy to me that (a) to understand git, you need to understand that it's a graph, but (b) no tools let you directly see and manipulate the graph!

I've read about it, played with it only briefly, and have been meaning to dive deeper for about a year.

Man Magit is so good, why did I wait this long to learn it.

I'm embarrassed to say that I should have taken a closer look at the options 🙈 I thought this was doing lossless compression but should have probably realized those numbers were too good to be true.
Thanks for pointing that out, I should really do a more thorough evaluation, this was a bit rushed!

We're using PostHog on the web site for our book (shameless plug — wasmgroundup.com) and it's been *so* helpful.

And they just keep adding new features! I'll be turning both of these on ASAP.
There aren't many companies whose product updates I really *want* to see, but PostHog is def one of the them.

Haha, yeah.
I did also search `sips macos` and found an online version of the man page: ss64.com/mac/sips.html

They’re all optional to some degree, aren’t they?

Yeah, I've read Steve's story as well! I didn't know it at the time, but he is pretty receptive to cold emails :-)

Yup, that was almost the post title 😄

Good question, I asked myself the same question. It's probably a spectrum but I see scrappy as focused on simplicity and minimalism. MacGyver is more "whatever works" — might be messy and complex, but it doesn't matter.

I’m sure it is! But yes, it probably leads to a diff’t interpretation.

A big unlock for me was realizing that when I'm writing code, my main goal is often *not* "make a thing that runs in production".
Many times it's something that fits Bill Buxton's def'n of a sketch: "a catalyst to the desired and appropriate behaviours, conversations, and interactions."

Thanks, should already be fixed.
