JetBrains recently released a preview version of their newest IDE, Fleet. Let’s take a look at it It's vi, but with dark mode?

Should I be concerned that nothing in that post interests me? Am I dinosaur because all I want is an IDE with an editor, debugger, syntax highlighting and intellisense? To paraphrase Pink Floyd, "I don't need no fancy stuff."

I looked at it earlier. I guess I'm a dinosaur.
At the start of spinning back up on Unix (I refuse to use the Linux word). Back in the day, I did development on HPUX, Ultrix, Solaris, SunOS, AIX and something else, I forget. Diving into the eco system now, I am astounded at the integration at the os level. <--- this comment related to being a dinosaur.

As a terminal app, isn't VI dark mode by default? 🤔
My take was that author was so focussed on showing tiny giflets of single features that I have no idea what the IDE as a whole looks like. Other than guessing that since they like it and said they disliked other IDEs collections of menus and toolbars that it probably looks closer to VScode than VS or Eclipse.

For some, working from home means working less overall "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy"

No fvck sherlock.
I even know some guys where it wouldn't make a difference working from home, because to do less than they do is almost impossible.

I'm not seeing a commute bar in that chart, so are we working less or just not wasting an hour a day driving back and forth for the glory of Exon?

The rare MarketWatch post. I visit that site daily.
Quote: Remote employees are working less, sleeping and playing more Yeah. Oh look, I have a life! The 1 to 3 hours of commute time each day alone, eliminated for us lucky tech workers that are lucky enough to continue to work remotely "after" the pandemic, is a blessing. Certainly, a blessing that I count myself luck to have, each and every day.

Now on to the next challenge, how do we make users read error messages?
Seriously, I recently got a question "why can't I upload this file?"
The error message they got was literally "File already uploaded" and the file was at the top of the list with uploaded files.
I don't know how I could make it any more clear

Simple: change the error message to "File uploaded successfully". In green, with a big tick.
For one of our apps, we recently got asked to move "UK" to the top of the list of countries for the admin screen. Two days after the latest release, we got a bug report saying it was now "impossible" to select UK as a country, because it wasn't in the list. Despite it literally being the first option in the list, and the list having a functioning search option.

That's when you should remove the dropdown entirely, replace it with a textbox and require them to enter "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" correctly spelled, capitalized, and exactly 1 space per word; and then have any validation error send them back to the start of the process with all input cleared.

Ah, the classic "make this section illogical to all, except the person who uses it the most (or asks for the change)"
I had a discussion with a (otherwise very nice and understanding) client.
They have this overview with a date filter.
The lines shown have a status, like new, in progress, finished, error... Initially I showed new, in progress and error for the last few days.
Then I got a call, Sander, we only want to see today.
So I asked how they're going to see any errors as they usually work through the list at the end of the day and so they probably won't notice the errors the next morning.
"They'll have to check manually."
"Should I show everything from today + all errors ever?"
"No, that would not make sense."
I don't think I'll have to finish my story, but they never checked for errors and some weeks later they asked me how it was that they missed all those errors
To be fair, the guy wasn't wrong, but he wasn't right either

Allegedly, the company is operating in violation of the state's Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act. Don't mess with Texas faces

If I recall correctly, years ago Texas was caught recording the plates of everyone moving about in it, getting a good feel for their residents (and visitors) movements. I don't recall the details.

As always - it's OK when they do it, but not when someone else does it (and they can be sued to help the budget and make the company look bad. OK, worse in Google's case.)

So who can we find to sue? Or is that game only open to millionaires and above?
