Open source, at its best, is a superb source of code reviews. Other open sourcerers are often accomplished devs with great insights.

Excellent series on Self, both the programming model and the tool chain. I love how opening an inspector on a value (e.g. nil) then shows a link to all occurrences of the value in other open inspectors!

Environment and the programming language Self (part one; environment)

I bring you a message about a language that has been at the birth of many others, but almost no one knows it. A rumor of a graphical environment offering options like no other, but almost no one using it. I also bring information about a virtual machine supporting reflection almost to infinity, reaching almost half of the operating power of C in numerical calculations in its time, yet today forgotten.

I have a bunch of open tasks on my GH repos, so I tried asking ChatGPT and Claude to write a card-based web UI that showed some random open issues. ChatGPT gave me something that worked, but the Claude mock-ups look better (and render inline!).

C++ no longer considers trivial infinite loops to be undefined behaviour! https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2024/p2809r3.html Spotted in the release notes for the latest clang.
