Bbedit is better than Sublime and is arguably more refined.

I use it and Bbedit and vi.


BBEdit is wonderful. I got hooked by TextWrangler and eventually bit the bullet to upgrade, and it was a great decision.

I’ve used Sublime (3 and 4), VSCode, Notepad++, vi, etc.; even made some plugins for Sublime, and I still vastly prefer BBEdit.


Mac graybeards everywhere are snickering knowing that most people are UNAWARE of Bbedit.

I've been aware of Bbedit but never really used it. Are there things it does better than more recent editors or is it more of a devil you know? Like a WordPerfect situation.

When I was a Mac guy, I LOVED BBedit! I purchased the full-blown package.

Personal tools built to solve real problems that no commercial product would address. AI-native development, trunk-based git, 12-factor philosophy. Every tool is a single binary or a single HTML file. I have about a dozen tools cooking to help legacy media management “power users” escape from MacOS and Window ecosystems with a focus on getting more out of the hardware and being production, vs. consumption, focused in setup and mindset.

This is my project and open to anyone who wants to hard fork it or whatever. It’s more like a gist than a repo because I won’t bartend PRs.


Because like everything else in technology, executive don’t understand it beyond a first order level and assign their own value system to it. It seems like magic TO THEM because they’ve never been able to orchestrate such capability without friction until now and that is the shadow of 20 years of search and semantic search stagnation mostly due to Google.


I’ve made a bunch of tools to help me get around file system limitations on modern Macs (APFS) and treating my entire legacy file collection as CMS challenge and have cranked out more binaries in 3 months than in the 10 years before the arrival of these tools. If you know how to use these tools and how to think like an architect and not a hobbyist Claude is truly in the technological lead.

I am a bit, but not much, younger than 60 and have been coding since Apple II days.

These tools are pretty close to HAL 9000 so of course GIGO as always has been the case with computer tech.

Almost everything is in Go except an image fingerprinting api server written in Swift. The most USEFUL thing I’ve written is a Go based APFS monitor that will help you not overfill your SSD and get pained into corner by Time Machine.


Are your tools open source? They sound kinda cool.


I intend to in the near future and you can use my whole setup. The PoC is on Github under the same username. https://github.com/tdsanchez/PostMac/


It has the apfs-monitor and basic media browser that’s roughly a cross between pre ElCap iPhoto and pre OSX iView multimedia and you can edit tags and comments and dive into tag groups by clicking tags. Extended attributes and file metadata are loaded into a SQLite DB at startup and all that fetching never happens again.

Since the released version I’ve added ~100 features.

Repo is trunk based and atypical for github. There are brew based dependencies.

I’ll formalize more later.



That’s a lot of words for you don’t know what actually happened. /if


I don't know why you would phrase this so confrontationally. All I know is what the source article says, and it doesn't include much beyond the jury verdict that would let anyone guess what happened. If you have a link to the specific evidence that was presented at trial, or other detailed information, I'd love to see it!


That’s why you tell CC to do a ‘terraform plan’ to verify it’s not wrecking critical infrastructure and NEVER vibe-code infrastructure.


Best advice is if you have to rearchitect your system JUST to run it on Kubernetes you probably don’t know enough about it yet.

I have worked with ~100 dev teams across industries modernizing infrastructure and most dev teams are too silo’d off from operations to effectively use K8s off the shelf.


It should.


Sounds like you’re terrified of immigrants for lack of human understanding. Like a child. Here’s the thing - this whole experiment was built on stolen land with slave labor and there can never be immigration “justice” on stolen land. What problem is being solved by making “a few mistakes” because that’s what you have to do in such situations? Libertarian conservatives like yourself have created a service based economy where labor can’t afford to live where the work is making the economy inherently dependent on immigrants of any stripe. But like so many other things understood by people who think like 8 year olds we will have to learn the hard way that, for example, scaring away all the illegal Mexicans will result in billions in food losses and price increases on everything, but at least we got some bad immigrants, right?
