Programming

A good observation how burn out is directly related to worker alienation

Looking for tips, tricks, and experiences of comrades who've developed Android apps using Vim, Neovim, or other text editors rather than Android Studio.

It's been a while since I did any Android development but I want to develop an app for personal use. Between then and now I've been using Neovim for everything so I'm loathe to go back to Android Studio but it handles a lot of boiler plate for new projects.

Has anyone got any thoughts or tools to share? I'm very comfortable in the CLI so my dream setup would be using Neovim as a code editor and running build commands etc in a terminal nearby.

I'm really amazed at what people are able to do with the extending the Doom engine.

Randomly stumbled into this article and found it very interesting. At a glance, his other articles here also seem promising.

First day is already pretty tricky. I put my solutions on github if anyone is curious what I did.

For anyone who doesn't know, advent of code is a series of coding challenges that happens every year. It's made to be like an advent calendar, with one programming challenge released per day until Christmas. Something interesting about this is that since the challenges only need the output of the program, you can do it in any language you want. I thought it might be interesting to compare and discuss solutions (ideally spoilered in case anyone hasn't completed the challenge yet).

Thoughts?
