I had a bit more of a think about that Unsung post about responsive code blocks.

You know that Godot music track I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, the one that became a bit of an earworm?

Another Unsung post about responsive text and code.

I also encountered a strange Logic Pro bug.

The Godot game is slowly coming together.

🔗 Manton Reece: Reaching AGI: I’m a programmer.

Small TIL about Zed: if you have something selected, and you hold down the Option key, you can spawn a new cursor and selection region.

🔗 Derek Sivers: Bangalore India hospital flow I learned that what you want to see is volume.

Ricco appreciating a decent keyboard when he sees one

A king parrot came by to feed on my neighbour’s berries.

The recent version of Zed changed the caret movements of ⌥← and ⌥→ from one based on word boundaries to one based on sub-word boundaries, like when a case change occurs.
