Nice work.

Is anyone working on collaborative Claude Code-ing with coworkers in Slack/Discord?

This is the exact vibe I got reading that part.

I assume that the app keeps track of names that you've already rejected.

Depending on the application, I might agree. However, if there were a Ruby-with-types language (like TypeScript) I would prefer that over the other two options.

You mean Crystal? [0]

When you become comfortable with Rust and start relying on type inference heavily, Rust often feels very much like Ruby.

Like Python using mypy?

The typical strategy is to design a language that compiles to Handlebars, e.g. http://emblemjs.com/.

It would be possible to support other languages more directly but they will tend to have a Handlebarsy flavor.

Write in a language that compiles to another language that itself compiles to markup...

The web frontend world is crazy to a backend engineer. We have hard problems to solve too, but ours usually arise from well-understood problems, such as CAP theorem.

It's somewhat jarring when people use "we" as if they're in a faction and they're the spokesperson of that faction. It's almost as bad as using "you guys" when faced with a single commenter.

Anyways, you can't think of a single analogue for the emblem->handlebars example?

It's because my colleagues generally consider the frontend landscape to be the Wild West.

The only analog I can think of is statically typed SQL, which is in fact awesome.

It's crazy, sometimes web frontend is an echo chamber and you will get burned to the stake if you suggest doing anything simpler like just writing markup instead of a template language that translates to markup or a language that translates to that language that translates to markup. But it keeps people employed.

Some days, I can handle the front-end world. Other days, I just want to go back to writing old-school desktop clients in VB6 or WinForms. Mostly, this state has to do with whether the Goldbergian accretion of tooling on the front-end side is working today, or if somebody has deprecated a package and brought the whole Jenga tower down.

I get your point, but for the indentation case in particular you can use `git diff -w` or append `?w=1` to a github PR url.

Except in Python where indentation changes are meaningful.

    def coalesce(*args):
      while args:
        next = args.pop()
        if next is not None:
          return next
      return None

    def coalesce(*args):
      while args:
        next = args.pop()
        if next is not None:
          return next
        return None

Or this variant

  git checkout -b actual-branch
  git branch -f master origin/master

Just take the radius to be the square root of the size and then multiply it by a suitable scaling constant.

This will ensure that the area, which is proportional to the square of the radius, remains proportional to the size.
