Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

kinda glad I bounced off of the suckless ecosystem when I realized how much their config mechanism (C header files and a recompile cycle) fucking sucked

:( sadness. I'm pathologically opposed to software complexity (I mean pathologically, it hurts me) and have a really nice rice set up with dwm.

GNOME's new mosaic layout project which is a few years down the pipeline looks like it might solve the problem of tiling vs teenager's desk windows management so maybe I should switch.

I actually do like the patching thing, prefer it to xmonad which needs recompiling every day that ends in Y or i3 which is about as fun to configure as fellating one of those tubular cheese graters.

Taking suggestions on fast minimalist launchers and windows managers tiling ideally (and terminals with Unicode support rxvt suuuuuuuuuuucks) if anyone has them.

Or I would accept trying something a bit chubby if people have reasons to recommend it. Like sure it slows down the hellbox but it detects when your concentration is flagging and makes you a coffee type shit. Just no transparency effects, Jesus fuck I hate transparency effects. It's like "hey want to spend more power rendering something that's harder to parse visually?" umm no? who wants that? why would you want that?
