@sysedit In general, I totally can relate you your statement.

However, there is one additional notion to it: if you're using a really(!) powerful and flexible tool, you might need less tool switches for slightly different jobs.

IMO that's one of the (meta-)reasons why there are so many Windows programs out there: normal users aren't using flexible tools like #GNUtools (UNIX pipes) or #Emacs that are able to match a wide range of requirements where "normal people" are using a specific tool for one specific use-case.

I see the tendency that, e.g., every app needs to have a "read later/notify me later" feature or its own spell checker and so forth. From a tech perspective, this is not very clever.

If you do have your flexible #knowledgemanagement tool, you can implement all sorts of "do stuff later" functionality with it, in case your tools are flexible enough to interact with each other.

Furthermore: our requirements differ more than we think: https://karl-voit.at/2021/01/18/tool-choices/

Inspired by a short article called "I like Makefiles" I have adapted my #Bootstrap5 #SCSS template to make use of the Make tool, and it's cool 🙂
I'm gonna use it more often for other projects.

#GNUtools #webdev

I'm looking for a new #gnutools job; long story short, my current employer is pushing me to retire early as part of a division-wide "reorganization", but I want to keep working. I'm a current #gcc and #binutils maintainer and have also contributed to #gdb, #glibc, #newlib, and #qemu. Lately I've been working on adding GCC front-end support for #openmp, but I've also done back-end things for multiple architectures, and I write documentation. DM me for more details and contact info.

Where are @gnutools job listings posted nowadays? The #FSF jobs page seems pretty much dead, and I know the mailing lists are not the right place to post either jobs or resumes. 🤔 #gnutools #gcc #binutils #gdb #glibc #openmp

Yesterday @SUSE published our paper "Advanced Optimization and New Capabilities of GCC 10:" https://documentation.suse.com/sbp/all/pdf/SBP-GCC-10_color_en.pdf
I hope most of it is useful and interesting for all #gnutools users. We recommend optimization options, discuss LTO, PGO and look at speeding up SPEC and #Firefox.
