So typical project funded by public entity: unclear, slow, badly implemented and probably grosly overpriced.

This great I would love to work on the sunny day outside but it feels so limiting after leaving my 3 monitors desks. It feels like I spend more time switching windows beetwen code, tests, browser and Teams than doing the actual work.

Both Windows and the Mac app Snap let you switch to programs 1-9 on your task bar by hitting Win+1-9 or Opt+1-9. These will be your most used shortcuts and switching to Teams will be as fast as you can think. My chosen order looks like this, but you can rearrange it by just moving the programs on your taskbar.

  1 - IDE (PyCharm)  
  2 - Chrome  
  3 - Outlook  
  4 - Firefox (Jira, Github)  
  5 - iTerm (terminal)
  6 - Excel (time tracker)  
  7 - Teams  
  8 - Slack  
  9 - ChatGPT app or Obsidian
I'm not sure what it means to switch between code and tests though?

Sure, that would work. Still I find much easier to have to just glance at the other monitor to see what is happening.

Code and tests: I just have open two editor windows: code and tests. Side by side. If you write tests for piece of code it is just easier to see what is happening by just looking on the side instead of switching constantly.


I just use my laptop's screen more often than not. A number of years back I made the effort to extend my WiFi so that I could work on my deck only to discover I didn't really want to. I do have a dual monitor office setup but mostly just work on my laptop these days.

I did not wrote that it is impossible. I did wrote that it is much less convenient. When I get notification that someone wrote something. I just look at other monitor. When I want to check if build finished. I just look at other monitor. When I want to search for docs I just look at left side of my first monitor. It is just no hassle. Convenient.

And track pad is much harder to use for me than just mouse. Yes, I could carry mouse too, but then it is more than just laptop.

If laptop is enough for you sure. Everybody can work how they want.


Looks cool but I would really like to have this as a mirror of my local git repo server. If tangled goes down or my internet goes I won't be able to work.

Nothing preventing that! You can run a knot server[0] on top of your local git server—which I assume you push to using SSH. Knots serve up your git bare repos over an API (and federate over AT Protocol).

If Tangled’s appview is down, you can still access your own box as you would. Alternatively, you can mirror using git natively by simply adding a push-only remote.

    git remote set-url --add --push tangled [repo]
[0]: https://tangled.org/@tangled.org/core/blob/master/docs/knot-...

Ah cool thanks!

Wow 19€ for web hosting. I pay like 8 for whole vps. Crazy

I think it is called emulator.

I hope so. I would buy glasses with monitor and some gloves that allow me to manipulate ui that runs on my phone.

/e/os is just lineage os fork? What does it give me over my one plus with linage os? Also if this is de googled probably banking apps won't work.

> one plus

If you are concerned about privacy, why are you using a firmware-backdoored chinese phone?


During 2015-2018 I was not working on FE and when I started again everyone was using js frameworks ditching MVC, aspx and similar. Now I again not working on the FE for 3 years and it seems everybody is going back to sending HTML from server.

I am not saying it is wrong. Just it is abit funny looking from perspective how pendulum is going now the other way.


What you see on hackernews/twitter is not what everybody is doing. Reality is that everyone is still rawdogging React in their legacy app

Seems like you like networking.

You think civilisation will go down but you will still be able to chat with people via smartphone?

Decline usually happens gradually. I highly doubt a coronal mass ejection will fry up all the electronics on earth, or I hope not at least.
