Heh. Here I was, getting ready to post about The IDE Divide when, searching for past entries about my dislike of IDEs, I found out I already did (three years ago!).
This time, I definitely identified with being a language maven, but I can certainly understand the lure of being a tool maven. When programming, it's not uncommon for me to have half a dozen (or more) terms open, editing code, viewing a few header files, a few man pages open, and a command line sitting ready for compiling. I'm not much on syntax highlighting, but automatic code completion would definitly be nice, or perhaps a form of running commentary on the code.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
