Occasionally the contrarian DHH gets it right. He finally came to the logical conclusion of just using Linux as a development environment. A bit annoyed he didn't call out macOS for all of the ridiculous hoops you have to jump through to setup a dev env (XCode, iTerm2, homebrew, case insensitive file-systems, etc), where as every Linux distro provides everything via the built-in package manager.

@postmodern Aren’t you losing the ability to use any of the high quality GUI apps on macOS? Linux desktop software does not spark joy. That’s the trade off for me.

It’s not perfect, and there are things I would change, but Reminders has become a pretty good app. The sections and column view are really neat. Love that.

It would only take a couple of changes to be powerful enough to go toe to toe with something like OmniFocus, and for me to use it for everything.

Is Lord Of The Rings the last popular movie trilogy that really nailed it?

I would qualify a trilogy as being three movies which were conceived as being three movies and are telling one story split up across three movies.

By that definition, I can only think of the original Star Wars trilogy and LOTR where all three movies are good and they stick the landing.

@davetron5000 I don’t personally think the third one is very good, but also they stand as three individual movies. I know there’s a through line, but it’s not like you can’t watch any of them individually, because the through line is really secondary :)

@eurobubba I think I saw that one on a list but I haven’t seen those :)

@davetron5000 Totally. I like them, I just don’t think they fit my (arbitrary) personal classifications. I can totally see someone classifying them differently though.
