The first public release 0.95 was announced on December 21, 1995.

I turned on the telemetry of Firefox to show Mozilla what features I don't use.

@catsalad Hmm. Shouldn't it be more like:

🔲 Spaces
🔲 Tabs

@catsalad I know this is all in good fun and chaos. But if anyone is interested this is an accessibility issue.

Tabs are configurable width characters and can be customized to the needs of the user. For instance, if someone with low visibility is using a screen magnifier then they can set the tabs to be compact and see the indentation in context of the code. Tabs might also need to be made wider to help users follow indentation more easily. Also, screen reader users are able to track indentation with tabs (two levels of indent vs 4 or 8 or 16 spaces, which is it?).

So tabs put the consumer in control of how they can most effectively consume the information. Also, capitalizing hashtags helps screen readers, you're not a dork for doing it, you're punk AF!

@catsalad no indentation just chaos

Ran into a problem in prod?
Just generate a fake cloudflare error page and blame it on them - gives you time to fix.

I think they're just naturally gifted, they don't even have to study this.

so many of the people who for years wrote about how the actual duty of a senior software developer is to remove code from the codebases and to mould the junior coworkers into fully-fledged professionals are now enthusiastically writing about inducing confabulation machines to extrude enormous amounts of code-like product, and how glorious it is that the infinite lies machine made junior developers obsolete.

@andrewrk Does that include your code generation backend / LLVM replacement?

@joe @slava You should make a bot that just randomly replies this in systems programming threads.

@jwz GMail's global usage dropped from ~60% in 2022 to ~43% in 2024. And these days, most of the people I know are on smaller providers, if they don't run their own server.

Being able to use your own server or choose from thousands of providers, for something that is accepted and used almost universally on the entire Internet, is obviously still a massive success story. And the size of some of the providers doesn't change that.
