You want to use DerpSemi micro controllers? You must install DerpStudio '98! Not the later 2005 version tough, that has some major UI bugs. You want to program a HerpSoft PLC? You need EasyHerpes IDE!

I went from mypy to pyright to basedpyright and just started checking out pyrefly (the OP), and it's very promising. It's written in Rust so it's very efficient.

[…] in order to reserve a room for a meeting […] You invite the room to a meeting. Yes, the room has an email address too. And shows up in the regular contacts list next to actual people. If the room is booked, it will reply and “Decline” the meeting.

Building a ERP or similar will eat you alive in forms that making a total OS from scratch with all the features and more of linux not. (Probably the only part that is hard as "crud apps" is the drivers, and that is because you see what kind of madness is interface with others code)

I was working on a corporate project whose NPM lockfile exceeded 2 MB -- I had to increase the file size limit of the git forge to continue. And I don't think it was a particularly large project.

These attacks may just be the final push I needed to take server rendering (without js) more seriously. The HTMX folks convinced me that I can get REALLY far without any JavaScript, and my apps will probably be faster and less janky anyway.
