Why reinvent the parser when the role of this library is formatting?

Love the spirit, but the attack-plans example IMO looks worse with this formatting. I don’t love the horizontal scrolling through properties of an object.

I dont know if you spend a fraction of your life scrolling vertically through megabyte sizes json files, but if something can reduce the height of the file thats welcome. We dont need to read every single line fro left to right, we just need to quickly browse through the entire file. If a line in this format is longer than fits the screen, its likely we dont need to know whats in the cut off right corner anyway.

Gigabytes even (people do the silliest things). But ‘find’ gets me there 90% of the time, and at that point the amount of vertical scrolling isn’t really any different than in a 2kb file.

Your usecase is different then. Some of us actually want to browse through the entire json.

Good luck finding them anywhere right now


Does anyone have a better term? “Guiding vision” or “target state” don’t really convey the same intuition.


Would it not just be "mission"? Companies have a mission, projects (should) have a mission, there may be details but the mission is what's guiding you the whole time, right?


Mission is continuous, North Star is usually about guiding a journey with an eventual destination.


North Star is used to orient, when you’re lost. This makes sense for Microsoft. They’ve been in the wilderness for a while.


Maybe soon we don’t need physical controls, no more pilots, and we no longer need security checks to board a plane. :)


Security checks will still be done because it may be even easier to take over the plane when you don't have to threaten a pilot.


What’s there to take over if there are no physical and accessible controls?

What? Why would security checks go away because there would be no pilot?


Can you add a “Trash” folder with the documents that have been unpublished?


So, tree fiddy before inflation


As long as we consider the Jan 6 rioters terrorists as well, I’m good.


I'm fine with that, in case you think this was some kinda gotcha


Jan 6 happened and is pardoned. "Overthrowing the government" is just talk.

Shifting the focus on that talk is rethoric, this talk is unimportant and inconsequential compared to Jan 6.


I believe the phrase they used to describe J6 was "legitimate political discourse" https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/04/us/politics/republicans-j...


They were just picnickers out having a good time. I guess.


We’re working on it as we speak


All of what you mentioned is quantifiable.
