the people writing it are doing it for themselves probably. i wouldn’t expect it to survive a code review. the necessity of using esoteric bash features or syntax is a pretty good smell that you should be using something else imo.
yeah, so this was exactly my scenario. i have an xbox and ps5, but bought a steamdeck about 6 months ago to play indie and windows games... its been utterly amazing. i dont care about specs, or graphics, or framerates (within reason). playing on steam still feels like it did when i was young.
maybe im misunderstanding, but you exactly like the person that a steam machine is for.
i think discovery is the real thing all these “back in my day…” blog posts are about. they want the quirk delivered to them, but they’re fallen out of the zeitgeist and conclude that the old days are completely gone.
prs not being visible because search is down, various ui elements not loading, pushes failing, merges failing, gha runs that fail with random errors or take forever to schedule
i literally do not recall the last day that passed without someone on my team noticing that some portion of gh was degraded.
i think mise does too much. the deeper you go into its features the more rough edges you’ll find. i predominantly use nix on macos for managing app-level tool and package deps, but mise does a better job for this when you’re a part of a team (and can’t be overly prescriptive).
mise tasks gets gross pretty fast in my experience.
i’d love for this to be required by law. i’m probably not thinking of some great reason why that might be a bad idea, but it seems like an effective way to reduce e-waste.
different strokes of course.
