Command Palette Deprecation Behind β€œFeature Preview” Is Hurting Adoption & Accessibility Β· community Β· Discussion #166528 Select Topic Area Product Feedback Body Hi everyone, I’d like to start a conversation about GitHub’s recent treatment of the Command Palette.

Hey @github.com , please don't kill Command Palette. I just found it and it's the feature i have always wanted!

@raycast.com 's extension template, ecosystem, and docs are so good that you can quite literally get AI to code out the entire extension on its own, using all the extra features offered by the framework.

That is some outstanding work from them.

So Gemini app can't generate images, tells me to use AI studio. Then AI studio tells me it can generate the image... But can't display it!

What the actual fuck Google?

AI Agents are like talking to a Jr. Engineer with the entire library of bokks and docs of all languages and eng practices in their head.

If you give them broad, unspecific jobs, they will get stuck or generate garbage. If you give them better guardrails or specs, they can write anything.

The "I can't fix it all in one go, so I won't even try" epidemic is real.

We as engineers often say "that thing has not tests, i can't change it, it's a legacy system" but we also never incrementally add tests to the thing to get it out of that state. Even if we have proven it to be worth it.

The Trump and Elon Divorce is soon much popcorn material.

How anyone fell for either of these idiots is beyond me.

I regularly watch Airport Security Brasil before flights.

Today while boarding we were inspected by the police dogs and I recognized a couple officers from the show.

How cool is that, also I was clean πŸ˜‚

It's cyclic as well. The stability is welcome reprieve from the chaos, but after a while the molasses speed of change becomes a hinderance to people driving change in the org. The pendulum swings.

I haven't read enough yet, but I bet this Mexican Boat crashing into the Brooklyn bridge will have something to do with imperial versus metric units.

That guitar scene on TLOUS was beautifully executed.

But I'm just never gonna forgive them for not having the Pearl Jam reference in there.

Billions stolen from retired folks in Brazil, huge corruption crime... But let's park that and let's all collectively bitch about a red shirt instead.

Seems I wrote a Goobye NL post on my blog but never published it. So now I fixed that.

Looking back at 13 years of NL
