Casey Muratori talks about this in his Handmade Hero videos. I believe he calls it exploration-based programming.

Yeah, this is not a new concept and I remember seeing one of his videos that explains this concept really well. Here the relevant video from 9 years ago for those uninitiated:

Really wish binaries were available so it could truly be effortless.

Any comparisons on performance?

It's very strange that when I land on the page for the very first time, I land halfway down the page and I'm staring at a block of random code.

Not what you'd expect to see.

#real-todolist has an autofocus element and I'm using Firefox

Oops. Fixing now.

Faster to interpret than what?

I assume they meant faster to interpret than a tree of objects, since that's the other concept discussed in the article.

Yes

Center. Verb. to direct one's attention on something.

I checked several dictionaries and none had that usage.

It's at _best_ very awkwardly worded. It's probably just a mistake.

As a native USA, english speaker, I come across this usage enough that it was familiar and not out of place.

The second noun definition[1] and first verb definition[2], but only after expansion, google gave me[3] match.

The second verb definition[4] on merriam-webster.com, similar on dictionary.com, second noun definition on cambridge.org, but mostly missing, in an example but not definition for some reason, in the verb section.

[1] the point from which an activity or process is directed, or on which it is focused. "the city was a center of discontent"

[2]occur mainly in or around (a specified place). "the mercantile association was centered in northern Germany" have or cause to have (a specified concern or theme). "the case centers around the couple's adopted children"

[3] https://www.google.com/search?q=define+center

[4] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/center#dictionary... to give a central focus or basis centers her hopes on her son the plot was centered on espionage

It is not. Other examples of this "center" from around the web

> A Major Museum’s Attempt to Center Native American Voices

> Yet, the story of man’s redemption, the gospel, is one that always centers God

"Centers on..," would be pretty normal usage. Making it active, like in the article ("Centers at least one...") is a little bit unusual and I can't recall seeing that usage before. Swapping it for 'features' would of course be completely unremarkable. It makes sense though, I don't mind it.

It's not obvious to me what one has to do with the other here.

I think that the idea is that it's potentially more mod-friendly than if all the files resides on a physical support.

This wouldn't do anything to reduce ocean acidification from CO2 absorption though, would it?

I used to following a twitter account that would post the average CO2 level each day, and I distinctly remember the few weeks where I started to see a few 400s amongst the high 300s, and then, finally, never saw 300s again.
