VS Code makes me feel ... old.
When you move through source code that is managed with git, there is a spot on the bottom of the screen that indicates who last modified that line, and when.
I'm hitting lines that were modified decades ago -- 23, 25, years or more. Stuff that hasn't been touched since LoanShark wrote it in 1998, stuff that hasn't been touched since IO ERROR (RIP) wrote it in 1999 ... and even that doesn't cover the first ten years during which we didn't use version control.
There's "git log" ... and then there's "git blame" ... and then there's this. A constant on-screen reminder. Wow.
Not to make fun .. but 25 years ago..some of us were still diapers.

It made a difference, and DHH is pretty awesome ... but it's not a language I would desire to write anything in.
I agree, Python for the win.
Here's your 100% True Fact of the day.
The phrase "We should rewrite <x> in Rust" literally translates to "I hate <x>, I hate you, and I'm a douchebag, and you should definitely punch me in the face as hard as you can because I deserve it."
I know its not for everyone, and no, it wont beat some of the HUGE commercial models, but Qwen's latest coder model is pretty decent a huge leap in quality from 2.5 , and amazingly its quite fast even on commodity CPUs.. easily 3x speed of other models its size. Not real sure how they pulled that off, but makes it quite usable as a local co-pilot code helper sort of thing.
A quantized version, will run you around 20g. No, not tiny, but not huge either.
Ya i know, i have been stepping away from this stuff for the most part, but i saw the news and all the praise, so i just had to look for myself.
