From VS Code to Helix
A Rustacean colleague kept singing Helix's praises. I discarded it because he's much smarter than I am, and I only ever use vim when I need to fiddle with files on a server. I like when things "Just Work" and didn't want to bother learning how to use Helix nor how to configure it.

Based on my experience with external #software #development companies, if I ever do a #job #interview again where the company asks whether I have any #questions, I will ask them to do a #coding #test:
Please bring in a developer from your team, I will assign a simple task, e.g. for embedded dev: Write down the C or assembly code of a sorting algorithm for a linked list. No standard library, no AI assist. Just write it down.
I guess the majority of development companies would #fail.
Looking for something like distrobox but specific for #programming languages and #development ?
devbox is that, powered by the #nix package manager, it creates isolated development environments for just about any programming language you want.

“These are what I would call silent #genocides — there are no TV crews, no #journalists. But they are happening, & they’re happening now,” said Fiona Watson, Survival’s research & advocacy director, who has worked on #IndigenousRights for >3 decades.
The issue often receives little priority from governments, which critics say see uncontacted #IndigenousPeoples as politically marginal because they don’t vote & their territories are often coveted for #logging, #mining & #oil extraction.
Public debate is also shaped by #stereotypes — some romanticize them as “lost tribes,” while others view them as barriers to #development.
Survival’s research concludes that half of these groups “could be wiped out within 10 years if governments & companies do not act.”
#UncontactedIndigenous peoples are not “lost tribes” frozen in time, Watson said. They are contemporary societies that deliberately avoid outsiders after generations of #violence, #slavery & #disease.
