Deno is joining Cloudflare. I wrote about Deno's decline a few months ago: I wish Deno would keep doing what it does best. I shared its vision, but I think it never got far because a startup was the one carrying it out. This decision makes me more sure of that. It also settles something for me […]

And the idea that something isn't art because it's there for a purpose or because you, as an audience member, don't see it is ridiculous!
Jade posted:

Far more to art exists than what you see as an audience member - when you watch a film, you do not know or care about the camera the cinematographer used, but it shapes what you experience. When you go to a live music show, you can't hear the cues and countdowns in the performer's ears that make sure everything happens in perfect time, but they are as essential to the performance as the lights that colour the stage. And yet it is a part of the art nonetheless - something does not have to be seen to have meaning or to be part of a performance.

It's so so important as software developers we don't forget that we aren't working on a production line - what we do is creative work, is art, and artists are our siblings in persuit.
atzanteol@sh.itjust.works posted:

Computer code is not art. It has no aesthetic quality. It's generally not even seen and frequently hidden.

It's engineering - you don't need to get all up yourself by claiming to be "artists".


Jade posted:

As someone who has performed in orchestras, hosted touring musicians, shot video onstage at festivals, livestreamed events, and worked with photographers, sound engineers and producers - Computer programming and software development is just as much art as any of them. Calling what we do engineering is a poor excuse to forgoe solidarity with our fellow creatives.

Or if you want an LPE shell script, have at it. Note that I've twice called Omarchy a "distro", which is perhaps unfair. It's apparently just Arch that's preconfigured for those who do enjoy editing config files with Neovim, but avoids security and wokeness.
