  • It’s less about looks (at least for me), but about speed

    Pretty much all I need, I literally have at my fingertips.
    Opening a terminal just feels much more quick - don’t know why it really is faster, but e.g. i3 is just a much smaller code base than KDE and they’re not really in competition, as they focus on different things.

    Re-arranging windows in different layouts with just keys is also nice - and fast as fuck.

    I don’t want to move windows around when I work, I want to focus on my work.
    Just needing to move the mouse to position a window somewhere can sometimes break the flow.

    But I have to admit, that with some layouts (split screen with one side tabs and vertical terminals on the other side, can be a bit frustrating, when I jump through the tabs and not into the terminal container.

    But I think, I’ll need to check the i3wm manual again, because jumping between containers is probably possible, without jumping through all tabbed windows.
    So, I guess, that’s on me and not a wm fault

    All in all, it depends on the kind of work you do on your PC.
    I’m often in terminals checking logs and stuff.
    I3 just felt the nicest (on X11 - couldn’t try sway or hyprland, because I need XForwarding and I’m not sure, if that works by now or ever will) and I stayed with it - for now

    If you are tiling-curious just give it a try and you can see the difference for yourself.

    It’s never about being the optimal solution for everyone.
    It’s about being the best solution for specific workflows and so it depends on yours.



  • It’s a compromise.
    It supports modern hardware well enough and the environment is good enough.
    I do like the cleaned up state of BSD better, but the missing hardware support is pretty much killing that.

    Also, all the machines I’m developing for and controlling are running some kind of RT Linux.
    So I don’t have that much friction between systems.






  • I’ve worked years in vim with plugins, but keeing it up with plugins working, that are not maintained anymore was quite a pain.

    It was the most perfect IDE I had though.

    After that, I’ve tried CLion, because I quickly needed something that worked with really large projects.

    But with every update it got worse.

    Currently I’m on zed and kinda happy with it.
    There is still some stuff I’m missing and their focus on AI seems to overpower necessary features like multi windows - which is my main concern, as I need those badly.

    But I’m too over worked to actually setup a new vim/neovim environment and don’t really know where to go…

    Edit: many co workers went to VS Code, I’m spoiled with the search function of CLion.
    Editing interfaces just by searching and replacing/extending existing code was a breeze. Didn’t find this anywhere else…









  • Ich denke, das hängt oft mit der akuten Auftragslage zusammen

    Großes Projekt an Land gezogen -> viel Arbeit
    Grad ne Lücke -> wenig Arbeit

    Da dauernd neues Personal einzustellen und einzuschulen ist sehr aufwändig und bringt nen ziemlichen Overhead

    Wenn ich das vorhandene Personal in den Stress Zeiten schinden kann, aber in Dürre Zeiten nicht für sinnloses rum sitzen bezahle, dann wäre das dem Arbeitgeber natürlich sehr recht.

    Warum man das nicht mit normalem ZA bewerkstelligen kann, weiß ich aber nicht.

    Es ist also einfach mehr Flexibilität für den Arbeitgeber seine Leute dann da zu haben, wenn er die braucht.


  • Is it just me or is the results output kinda spammy?

    I mean, I’m all for information and stuff, but do I really need to know the regex?
    I’d love to have this as an option, when I think, that the tool provided a false positive, but for routine checks, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed

    More interesting it would be, to just show me the parts, that are seemingly an issue and some description, why it is an issue.

    With that output, I’ll probably have an easier time just checking the config file myself

    But maybe, that’s just me…
