I'm the exact opposite. I never studied openings, but I would often finish games with computer after solving a puzzle, so I'm pretty decent in the endgame
They can cry about it. Corporations can hire a ton of lawyers and scrape Fediverse in whatever way they want anyway. The bullying only sabotages legitimate and useful tools by indie devs.
Here's a question with no malice or sarcasm: how on Earth did you manage to read the whole thing and then proceed to give the most vague advice in the whole thread?
That's the fucking thing people on the occupied territories have that we fucking don't. They can leave to the Western countries (or any countries, really) through Russia
Dude, finally someone gave a highly specific advice that I was asking for. I love you. Other replies are decently specific at best, with some being vague, despite my efforts to explain that this was not that I asked for.
Get theory from somewhere on the Internet (videos, tutorials etc.), then do exercises on platforms like Exercism. Once you feel like you are getting good at it, start replacing the time for exercises on time with real projects
Is it a blunder? Tell that to Apple, Jetbrains, or Microsoft, each of whom have proprietary code editors that net billions of dollars of revenue.
I expected you to say that! The only mentioned company that has a proprietary code editor is Jetbrains with their Fleet. Visual Studio, XCode, most jetbrains products are IDEs.
IDEs are big, bloated products that don't need hackability because they already come prepackaged with everything. Code editors are different. Developers also like stuff being open source so they can put their trust into it — if everything goes to hell, somebody could fork it, which would save you from the need to find another properietary editor and change your workflow.
Ultimately, who develops OSS doesn't matter anymore. Even the Linux kernel, the thing that comes to mind to most people when they think of "open source", is developed by a lot of people working for corporations, on paid positions specifically to develop the kernel.
Instead, consider that making something open source is often just a marketing strategy — or a soft way to sunset a project.
I can't disagree with that, but my point is that if being an open source code editor is so important, then there is a bigger probability that the team behind Zed are fixing the mistake, rather then sunsetting the software.
Wow, these news caught me off-guard. Never would've expected THAT from Meta... Gosh...
