       @minoru Right, it’s hard to test yourself scientifically. It just seems continuous though. A couple of hours ago I had to analyse an iOS and an android app, neither of which I wrote, to understand how UI lifecycles relate to Bluetooth lifecycles, via complex reactive middleware. It took 15 mins prompting to get the answers I needed and it would have taken hours for me to understand otherwise. Coding-wise I get roughly 150-300 decent LOC in a half-day manually so I have a rough comparison.

       Awesome, the min-publish-age #rustlang RFC was merged last week, for protecting yourself against freshly published malware updates. Always thought this was a very sensible idea. https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs//3923-cargo-min-publish-age.html

       @fribbledom This definitely came up when I was researching newer UI frameworks. GTK and Qt are still pretty compelling when they have a good document text view out of the box.
