Visual Studio Code Agent Mode uses whatever model you tell it to use.

I liked Val Kilmer in most films, but specially on Heat (1995). I think it was his best acting ever.

I love _Heat_, EXCEPT for the ending. (Spoilers) It just feels too forced as "the good guy has to win". So, I always stop it when the good guy cop says "He's gone!". It's much more in character with the bad guy; basically his entire career up to that point was being conservative and playing the long time, and I just didn't see the motivation for him to go after the cop and reverse his core policies. IMHO, it's a much better movie that way.

I think he was always great, but found him especially hilarious in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang".

The funny thing about Calibre, which I've been using since the beginning, is that the app always has updates—I think they release one almost every day.

We don't develop without components anymore.

You can have a nice component with all the cases, type-safe, and apply few utility classes to produce more maintainable code.

It's a bias to think the problem is people not knowing how to architect a good CSS solution. The reality is projects are maintained by multiple people over the course of its life. OOCSS only brings technical debt and constraints, and not to mention bloated CSS files. A good explanation why OCSS is bad https://www.fcss.club/manifesto and why functional CSS or atomic css is better in the short and long-term https://www.fcss.club/why. Tailwind just brings more complexity.

I got a message today saying the theme has malicious content and it was removed from my VS Code.

Can someone give me a reason why paying an engineer a yearly salary would ensure that they contribute a truly valuable piece of software that the market will use? Why should money be given based on years of experience? Is experience really a good indicator of ability? I know many engineers with 10+ years of experience who are mediocre.

What happens if that well-paid engineer decides they no longer enjoy software development? What if they need more than a year to deliver results? What if they produce something useless for the market?

This Keynesian approach is full of unknowns—it looks great on paper, but we've already run these experiments in the past, and they simply didn’t work.

I love the Roman Bath photos!

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I felt an amazing sense of happiness with the icons in Windows 3.1 and macOS 8. I loved them all! I'd say that everything up to Windows 95 and macOS 9.2 was great. But then, with macOS X and later versions of Windows and Linux, things went so high-res that I didn't like it. That's just my personal opinion, not a fact.

I loved—and still love—this logo. Maybe it's because we have a gazillion startups and companies now, so every single logo looks the same to me. These old logos have spirit and personality.

This is truly a stunning logo, it’s timeless and sublime. Hard to beat work like this

Is sublime the specific shade of green?

same. It has confidence. I can't think of any recent modern brand that has the confidence to use those multiple basic colors in its logo.

Love to see it.

Well, logos are a mode of communication that tell people what your brand is. Your brand should represent what you are, and to whom. Startups need to have "branding" in place to solicit investment, and they don't really have any idea what their company will mean to anybody, let alone their core demographic; they don't even know who their core demographic will be. So, every logo ends up trying to say "We are a credible and stable software company run by adults, but with energy and optimism" and the audience is California venture capitalists.
