Well, they do, as a part of a daily job. But fun was removed from the corporate programming long ago, so AI hurts not so much.

It hurts when your management abdicates things that are normally their responsibility and tell you to just ask the AI what to do. Or when that's what they would have done anyway.

Eleven labs killed Omnivore. Never forget, never forgive.

Exactly. I don't want a music generation program anyway

Great thread!

I wrote stack concatenative language while learning AWK https://github.com/fairplay/sisyphus and it was one of the most pleasant programming experience in 2024.

I always wanted to try MUD with creative mode, when player may create new areas/items/mobs using code and textual descriptions. Like Minecraft/Interactive fiction hybrid or AI dungeon without AI.

Since they make software with Electron it's very strange kind of minimalism. Nevertheless ORCA is incredible.

Orca, Dotgrid, Nasu, Dito, Left, etc.. are all written in C. https://sr.ht/~rabbits/smol-gui/

you are both correct, Orca was originally made in electron, the C version is newer

Oh, thanks, nice to see an update here.

Hi, I wonder if it convenient to ask questions here, but I can not figure out how to sync with local filesystem, could you help?

Hi, from the CLI app, you would need to set the sync target to the file system with:

    :config sync.target 2

Then you can specify the directory where the files should go with:

    :config sync.2.path /path/to/synced/dir/

Currently there's no config screen to do this in the desktop app, but it's possible to enable by changing the settings directly in the SQLite database (in the "settings" table).
