I’m confident his announcement to “leave social media” was an April Fools’ joke.

Appreciate it <3

(dead thread I know, but whatever)

It’s very similar, more like an evolution from Neo than a revolution. They switched a few keys and if you’re starting fresh I think I’d recommend Bone, but if you already know Neo I’m not sure switching is worth it. It could be fun though (if you consider learning a new layout fun ^^).

This looks pretty cool!

You’re right! Even for programmers.

They can’t possibly judge what is trivial to achieve and what’s a serious, very hard problem.

Too often, you won’t be given time to make your software understandable. Probably almost never. So you have to incorporate a way of programming that leaves your code more understandable after you fixed your bug or added your feature.

I don’t know if understandability is the most important thing. However I certainly agree with the author that it’s curcial, if you ever want to do more than merley a script or a proof of concept.

“We’re going to clean up that code later.”

Oh, yeah you should. I mean I’d advice against it, but since you already know the pain of switching layouts… sure, go ahead! :D

I prefer Bone over Neo, Neo has quite broad software support though. I’m using Bone on Linux and macOS without any issues.

I use a variant of the Neo-Layout called Bone. It’s an ergonomic layout optimized for German and English text. The base layer is already different (see the linked page), but I also really like it for programming, since there’s an entire layer with easily accessible symbols:

That’s good news, very nice!

Works now.
