I’ve been working on this for a while, but let’s make it official: I started a little Tumblr-like microblog about software craft and quality!

A post about the pretty inspiring and strange software that is Strudel, sort of a command line/text editor for music. I want my CSS authoring to feel this way.

An appreciation of one tool that does screenshotting in a really interesting way, plus the history of how ⌘⇧3 and ⌘⇧4 ended up where they are.

There used to be an icon depicting a camera with huge viewfinder that showed for grabbing window only screenshots (⌘⇧3 space) that was supposed to be a relic from NeXTSTEP. They discontinued it around 2018 I guess. -

@mwichary OMG: Hungarian alphabet: ABC…XZY (from the alphabetic keys, only the Z and Y are swapped)

@doekman @mwichary That is also the case with German layouts and perhaps a few others.
And then you'll have the French AZERTY layout that even moved the M from the bottom row to the right of L!
Hungarian QWERTZ is kind of annoying, I guess we inherited the base layout from being part of the Habsburg Austria-Hungary and all, but we have a bunch of letters (ty, gy, sz, zs) that feel ever so slightly more fun to roll out on a QWERTY layout. It is also absolutely garbage for programming.

@secretasianman @mwichary I can't find it. I lived through this but don't remember by now. What was it?

@mwichary Such a bad UX. Why can't it just be PrintScreen and go to a file and the clipboard at the same time? #macos #baduxdesign

@OndrejZizka Oh, file and clipboard is a really interesting idea! I never thought of that.

I learned about this cool exhibit at ACMI in Melbourne today, and immediately had to write about it.
It simulates working at a help line for a videogame company in 1993, complete with fictitious games, and a physical 300-page binder of various documents. Amazing.
