Just installed #mastodonEl and I'm very impressed! Unfortunately there are some issues when using evil mode. Is this a known thing @sachac @mousebot#emacs

@mousebot First of all, thanks for the great package š Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to take a look when I got some spare time. My elisp isn't the best but I might be able to hack in some evil support.

I've never really used `eww` - the #emacs based webbrowser - all that much. But today I made an effort! It really opens your eyes on how hostile the web can be to people with disabilities such as vision problems.I would urge all frontend developers to spend some time with a text based browser, or ideally a software package used by blind people, to see how their frontend work impacts the experience for the disabled.

@galdor I'm glad they're switching to opt-in. It's the most sane thing. Guess complaining actually does work!

@galdor Nothing is worse than apathy IMO. Join them, fight them, defend them or argue with them, but don't shrug and ignore them. Valid in any situation.

@simon search results != facts, thanks to Google. The concept of a Fact is the biggest issue in AI at the moment.

@galdor @louis +1 for QT. Native language is C++ but extremely powerful abstractions (QString!) are added by QT. The Python bindings are really good and generally sufficient unless you're building like a CAD tool or something.Can highly recommend!

@louis Every time I read stuff like this I get tempted. But I tried but canāt seem to get over the syntax, any largish rust code base ālooksā ugly imo. Love the result and option stuff though!

@underlap @louis Iāve used c/c+ /c# , Java and others so the typing isnāt the issue. Iām referring to the sprinkling of macro lines like below.I know there a good reasons, but still ugly code in my eyes.

@louis I havenāt moved into the web service space with #rust just yet. I mainly code web stuff with Python/Django or golang, so I can see how rust seems crippled in comparison when talking about web dev.

@galdor @gausby I replaced the daily standup of my team with daily updates via team chat. Every developer simply posts what they worked on yesterday, what they're working on today and what blockers they are experiencing.Nobody has a need to boast or embellish things, just developers giving updates and seeing if they can help another developer out. Team leads and PM's can follow what is going on, especially blockers but they don't have a mandate to micro manage or interfere.

@gausby @galdor The value of such a daily update (IMO) is that people have a structured way to be kept up to date, and a way to signal they are blocked in their work. Team leads and PM's can get a more detailed update on how things are going that they can't get from Jira.

@galdor @gausby That being said, it takes a certain mindset for TL's and PM's to not interfere and let developers do what they do. I've know managers who feel a need to talk to developers and feel they are in control. IMO a good TL or PM sets a direction (ie: we need to achieve this with X and Y constraints), and simply let developers reach the destination.

@galdor @gausby I don't see it as infantilizing, it doesn't take away any automomy. The sole goal is to keep everyone up to date. You can work autonomous but also as part of a team. I don't think anyone in my team sees them as a means to control what they're doing.You're absolutely right that everyone should be able to communicate clearly, unfortunately I don't think that's the reality for everyone :-)

@galdor @gausby I'm not trying to convince you or want to be convinced :-) I think it's a highly subjective thing and the team itself is in the best place to judge. In my case, a team of 5, everyone is happy with our way of working (which grew out of the feedback of the team itself).

@galdor I think (secretly hope) that a lot of people using CL in production arenāt talking about it. Myself I have seven internal tools in production serving a decent user base. Working on a Lisp based game at the moment.

@galdor not yet, but Iāll post more when I got something to show. āTalk is cheap, show me the codeā š
