> Has it worked out? No

It's a bizarre take because you have always done it and it has not worked out. What.

I missed a word in there, which was "has it always worked out", but on the other hand I've also dated a lot of people I didn't marry, and even in my original phrasing I think it would be very odd to not ask or try to suss out this information! If nothing else you'll learn later if people are truthful or not, or worth working with again in the future.

You are correct. I'm not sure what the parent is trying to say.

> Just because your values or principles changed doesn’t make you a suddenly no longer a hypocrite

Uh yes it does?? What are you talking about.

Bottom line is the people described as hypocritical in the comment have no principles, but rather feign passion in anything they think other people consider valuable. When devs thought coding skill was valuable, that's what they claimed to be passionate about, when the game changed and communication became key, they suddenly changed their passion. Either the timing is a coincidence, or they are hypocrites.

I don't think switching one's passion on a dime is a valid escape hatch from hypocrisy.

You're trying to turn flexibility and the ability to adapt to new circumstances into a vice.

You're wrong. It's a virtue.

"both these beliefs" and you label one a Belief and the other a Fact.

> the part where I need Gemini.

This is like saying that the part of driving where you wash dishes is why you, personally, need a dishwasher in your car. There is no feature that would fail the challenge if you can always claim that you need it to render a web page.

Local disk cache is a standard and reasonable feature expected by the vast majority of browser users. You are being obtuse.

I don't see how me quoting the actual complaint the news was about, in both threads, was me being swiftly corrected. If you where to base it on upvotes then this one shows I'm right and you got swiftly corrected here. In both cases it was relevant as both threads where not yet merged and about the same complaint. And held two positons on front page and I was adding to the discourse.

> Give it a few more months

By that time, they will have realized immense value before seeing some of what you see. Sounds like an endorsement of spec-kit.

It was pretty obvious from your first comment that you were going to get creative with the definition of "constructive".

> are you interested in my opinion on (n)vim?

The first comment is three short lines. One of them is the extremely reasonable and relevant question of where else this has happened in VSCode.

And you think that the commenter is wondering about your opinion on (n)vim? That is what you think they are interested in?

Could you just, like, ignore the signature if it is distracting you from the only other line that has a question in it?

Comments like this are why developers don’t engage directly. The first link is “just asking questions” and implying that the project is rotten. He’s not being “creative” he’s just not engaging in bait.

Maybe you could tell him what you want instead of making him guess.

I also thought that it was perpetual. Maybe they changed it. Either way, the three-year subscription is news to me.

It's perpetual for the version you buy. 3 years of updates.

And tbh, Sublime Text is pretty stable and the kind of program you could probably get away without updating for some time if you wanted to. Things like LSP support are in 3rd party packages (that are open source, not subject to the license), so you'd get updates for those anyway.
