I just can’t…

Welcome to 2025!


Any project repository where I'm the original author, the default branch is the "develop" branch. Let's move on!

This is hilarious!

Maybe there are people higher up with a lot of money who force these features. At the end of the day, the builders have the obey.


Film is magical. We should preserve and incentivise it.


Is this a durable execution engine/solution?


Interesting that every time Helix comes up, someone just has to mention Neovim. You never see Emacs or Helix users do that the other way around. Almost as if they’re personally offended.


Isn’t the reason more benign.

Neovim exist to improve upon concepts in Vim (easier plugin development with Lua).

Helix exists to improve upon concepts in Neovim (need for less plugins, more out of box functionality).


Not that surprising to be honest.

Helix is more similar to Neovim than Emacs and Helix is newer and less popular than Neovim, so people are predictably curious on why they should choose Helix over Neovim.


> Interesting that every time Helix comes up, someone just has to mention Neovim.

that apparently includes helix's creators, considering neovim is mentioned both on its website and in its repository's readme


Vin/Neovim is one of the most popular editors in the world, Emacs and Helix are far from that.


emacs is far from that? that seems mistaken


Here's just one survey: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#1-integrated... showing how unpopular Emacs is. It has a lot of mindshare among greybeards but very few people actually use it.


Jeez, do you know what projection is?


Saw your profile a few months ago and I like it! Quite surprised you’re still looking for an opportunity. Teams generally lack talent like yours. Good luck!


Thanks for the kind words! crossing fingers to get something soon :)


1) "I even created detailed plans for easy to build features that users requested" 2) "I know exactly what to build and how to build it"

You seem to have a nice specification of what you want to build and how. Unfortunately, you feel burned out. Thus, one option is to try to leverage LLM by feeding your well-defined specifications and then revising them.

I believe this can help you make progress.


+1 to this. I've found AI to be a good tool for getting things started, and for handling more tedious features that would have required reading a lot of documentation. I wouldn't trust AI to build a whole feature on its own, but with you at the helm, you can use it to build a feature one piece at a time. I use Perplexity with a free account.


Can you share some examples of spam you've been getting?
