I love the ideas presented, and it really highlights how current IDE's have removed power from users. I think (from only reading and watching some videos) that this Glamorous Toolkit is a hybrid between Smalltalk IDE and C.A.S.E. tools.
However, I downloaded the app but cannot figure out how to view my own source code. None of the example videos that I can find, show me how to use an existing local git checkout of source code.
I loved this quote: "This is why people join companies and quit managers."
You'd think that directors or VPs would carefully look into why someone is quitting, if it's because of their manager, but I have never seen that happen. I've only ever heard of managers getting in trouble if at least 3 people under them leave.
This is exactly correct. Toxic management (i won't call them leaders). I left because of my last manager, but I miss the company.
If they did care, some good engagement studies/surveys would show where the problems exist from the perspective of the managed. Many ICs are aware their manager is doing good for them, as good as they can and the problem exists up the chain. Some managers are just terrible. But without some kind of upward feedback process, there is no real way to make this work for the managed. Management can always spin the story they want to make up for the issues and with no data, there is not much that is going to be done. Ultimately it is the senior management that is responsible for the toxic environment created by not having a 2 way feedback process.

I've had this happen once. We got acquired and 2 years pass and they start implementing "efficiencies," which involved firing everyone but me and this other guy.
The other guy had had it and didn't do squat, so I was working his workload and the 2 people they fired. I dealt with the 12+ hour days for a few months then quit. They then fired my manager and his boss.
My son just had one, and they said they found nothing. But looking around, apparently most sleep studies in USA just look for sleep apnea. By default they don't actually look for anything else.
Yeah, Selenium is pretty flakey. I've been pretty happy with https://playwright.dev . Kind of the successor of puppeteer. At least, some of the same devs went from Google to MS. Here's an example where MS has better cross-browswer support than Google.
I second this. I think playwright and cypress are the main ones you should use. We already implemented something for Cypress and looking to do the same thing for Playwright. It'll be pretty similar to this: cypress.preflight.com
Would love to get your feedback so we can add it :)
How do you make a better one? It's a human problem, a social interaction problem, not a tech one. Novices want to ask all the didn't-even-read-the-official-docs and don't-want-to-do-my-own-homework questions they want, and the more experienced users don't want to see those kinds of low-bar questions.
In my not so humble opinion, the mods on SO gets a lot of shit, but I think they're not strict enough. SO is absolutely brimming with low-bar questions and answers. Best case that is all noise, worst case, the wrong and misinformed answers (by people portraying expertise) ends up in production code.
I've been using https://github.com/vimoutliner/vimoutliner for a decade now. It works well. It's so easy to backup, since it's just text files. And you can just use grep and other standard tools to look for content. I believe it's the vim-counterpart to emacs org-mode.
I've been forced to use MS OneNote for one contract, since the laptop is locked-down. Works ok, but search-ability and keyboard-only usage sucks in comparison.
