I agree with the “learn the CLI”, but to newcomers I’ll also suggest to look at the IDE/editor’s output channel - if there’s GUI for Git, there are also most likely logs for what’s happening under the hood - even if a little noisy, it can be a good learning resource. And of course if you’re learning and unsure of what’s happening (with the CLI or through a GUI), do so in a non-destructive manner (by having proper backups).

That has the same energy as complaining that a file manager has “Delete” in the context menu.

When you give the task to an intern-to-be.

I’d be screwed.

Seggs fault

If all you have is a hammer, everything else looks like a nail.

Platform-wise, it’s already proven that it’s a viable alternative (with some advantages even - the federated nature for one), but content-wise, it has A LOT to catch up (because let’s be honest - in addition to all the bullshit and toxic people, Reddit has tons of useful information and good people still).

I wish there were more things like this (and not just flashlights) - made with some thought put in. And to anyone who’d whine about the price, the fact that you have them 10+ years later says enough.

They got us in the first half

Don’t get attached to a company unless it’s your own gig.

If you get fired and you’re good, you’ll get hired again within weeks.

Fair enough, whatever works for you - but I feel like this is more of an exclusion and the majority of people are just too lazy to set their monitor brightness properly.

My problem is kind of the opposite - most light themes I’ve seen are too contrasty and I can’t discern the different colours all that well, moreover too much contrast is tiring to my eyes. Black text on white background is about the same as white text on black background. Most of the time I prefer dark themes, but those with low or medium contrast.

I’ve thought about this as well, but I haven’t been able to find such a light sensor.

There are actually some models already with a built in ambient light sensor. I don’t know how much of a convenience it would be, whether it would be distracting if small changes in ambient light make the brightness go up and down all the time. I personally prefer changing it manually - I have a macro pad with knobs which are mapped to do that.

Limmy pls.

Controversial opinion: if your monitor is set to the proper brightness for the room’s ambient light, light or dark theme becomes a matter of preference. If you’re in a completely dark room with your brightness set to 100%, then of course a light theme won’t work.

It’s not even that much of a pain. I’m mostly dealing with TypeScript, very rarely vanilla JavaScript, and it’s even enjoyable most of the time.

Eh, whatever. It puts food on the table…

Yes, indeed, I see javascripts in the wild every day.

What amazes me is that someone either did that manually or wrote a formatter to do that - I doubt that any standard style config would do this.
