Cypher Editor — This couple of days I was playing with prototyping a text editor / notepad After the recent windows notepad RCE, I thought it might be fun By default, it supports aes cryptography, so it was designed for typing passwords, api keys or just usual stuff. It can open plaintext files fine, as well Has been fun coding all the editor's behavior. The cursor still has some weird bugs. It is about 1,5 MB on MacOS. Should compile fine to Windows and Linux as well.

I am toying with the idea of creating a software store in gemini. (pay and download binaries kind of workflow) My idea is to port what I have here: to a text based experience. I think it is possible. I believe it would be the first of its kind as well.

History of computing, software archtecture, OOP and its mistakes. — From Better Software Conference
The right way to write software — Adapted (mostly pasted without modifications) from Jonathan Blow. Originally found here: [https link] I read this article about software development, which I knew about because I saw Prime reacting to it: [https link] For the most part I think it is fine: a relatively young programmer is doing the healthy work of introspecting on what he should really be doing. But there's one part of the article that I think is a deep mistake, and the author doesn't know it'...

Tech is no longer hopeful and optimistic — Tech is no longer hopeful and optimistic. It is now largely about squeezing ordinary individuals. Social media - squeezing attention. AI - squeezing all third party content. Nothing is actually aiming at improving the world or even making a better nerdosphere. And I hate that.
