Улучшение проекта существующего кода» в первый раз, то для программиста с небольшим опытом можно легко запутаться в том, что же сделать в первую очередь в своей программе чтобы навести там более-менее порядок или чтобы не допустить беспорядка если программа еще не написана.

ZX Spectrum 128 уже имел полноценный полноэкранный редактор. На Commodore64 редактор тоже не заставлял чувствовать себя калекой. Даже на суровом отечественном БК0010-01, редактор позволяет вполне сносное редактирование и копирование ранее введённой строки. Что же касаемо BASIC`а Корвета… Читать далее Read more ›

В последнее время я почти каждый день работаю с Markdown-файлами.Документация, спецификации, ADR, планы реализации, инструкции для AI-агентов — всё это удобно держать в .md.

The European Union treats data as a privacy right. The United States treats it as a corporate asset.
