Comment on: Squeak 6.1
For me, that was my "I'm getting out of here before I break it irreversibly" moment while working through some introductory tutorial; I've never touched Smalltalk again. I can't understand why being bespoke and unreproducible would be a desirable thing for software.(Yes, clearly I don't "get it". Happy to hear explanations.)

Employees often feel alienated from the dev team, asking 'What do they even do?' while executives make costly layoffs behind closed doors. CodeClarity gives non‑technical stakeholders instant, digestible insights into ongoing software work and decision impact, aligning expectations and fostering a collaborative culture.
Developers building event‑driven, serverless stacks are frustrated by webhook‑only integrations that force them to maintain extra infrastructure. EventSync converts those webhooks into a simple, pull‑based /events endpoint, letting teams retrieve change events on demand with minimal setup and zero webhook maintenance.
Designers struggle with clunky rectangle selects and manipulation in both photo editors and CAD suites, causing wasted time and frustration. SnapSelect offers an AI‑driven, cross‑platform selection layer that replaces drag‑and‑drop with gesture‑based, context‑aware selection, dramatically simplifying workflow in both 2D and 3D design environments.
Heavy-duty applications and virtualization layers are introducing crippling latency and CPU bottlenecks on Apple Silicon hardware. LatencyZero optimizes system-level resource scheduling to eliminate software slowdowns and restore native-speed execution.
