This is my opinion and my way of doing #programming

I have a distaste for Modern #IDE like #VSCode, #Antigravity etc,.

There is literally not much screen real estate for typing code, IOW the source code editor.

This is distracting to a large extent for me.

Also, it is not that, I don't use #AI - but the implementation of these Agentic assistant or chat into the IDEs is bloated and on an another level distraction to me.

In a nutshell, I just use it in the browser if I want some knowledge gathering from AI tools.

And when it comes to editing, I rely on #Vim and I've been doing this for an year or so moving away from IDE and it works well.

"Turn off the issues tracker and the pull requests or deploy a bare git server for releasing your code. Find a small group of people you really know and trust and work with them on projects, or do it completely alone."

This #music is nice!

I see a lot of similar Indie or maybe unknown artists on #YouTube whose work are really good.

Pascar is a recreation of MS DOS #Editor in the browser. It is offline-first and portable.

One of my friends started using it as a portable editor. Posting this to see if somebody finds this useful.

I did a new release today with some bug fixes on Event Listeners based on the issues that was posted by others.

#AI #programming

Built a new tool called Pascar. It's a browser-based offline-first text editor inspired by the MS-DOS edit.

It's basically a single HTML file that you can download and use it. It is also hosted on https://pascar.run

#msdos #editor #programming #editing #text

If anybody self-host their #Git repositories via #forgejo #gitea etc, and taking any measures to protect your site from #AI crawlers.

How are you doing it? What are the options?

Thanks

About C99.

Is it ANSI C or ANSI C99 or ISO C99? 🤔

I'm just calling it C99, maybe that's it.

I don't want to hold accountability on many domain addresses.

I think, sometimes it is better if we just stick to the existing services unless there is a special need.

In the same vein; I moved my website content to Blogger.

My words matter more than a uniquely designed website.
