configuring modern llm tooling is the new oh-my-zsh

I started watching The Leftovers during COVID, and I was so pulled in by it that I decided to NOT watch the last 3 eps indefinitely, so that I can come back to it 10-20y later and hopefully feel like that again (5y and counting).

i would much rather have coderabbit style reviews inside magit than in GitHub PRs

The best user experiences often involve the worst internal abstractions. Hard-won lesson

petition to: award 50 paul graham internet points every time some founder-type dude says "hope is not a strategy" unironically

all these soul / motown funk / synthwave ai covers of pop music from the last 2 decades is cool but did you know that paul anka made an actual album with real jazz musicians covering all these songs 20y ago en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Sw...

I wonder if we can do llm swe benchmarks that specifically decontaminate certain "ergonomically human" ideas from training, like tasteful, dev-ex oriented libraries or frameworks (say rails) and see if we can progressively prompt (+elicit) our way to something that everyone "enjoys" using

i have seen like 4 full-length sam altman interviews in the past months (including the nikhil kamath one) and there's something very weirdly unsophisticated about his pitch about AI every time it always slants towards something like start a company and write code or plan itineraries and do science

great to see that newgrounds.com still blocked in India ...and great to see music from 18 years ago made on a celeron processor in fruity loops still intact and well! kitallis.newgrounds.com

significantly reduced geese poop this june

has anyone been able to set up conventional commit rules on commits from squash and merge PRs going to main on GitHub?

In 1986, Sony dropped the SMC-210, their first portable PC in the US

so am I getting this right, to get openai api credits: - you have to prepay - the amount is only valid for a year - you can't extend it - they won't refund excess - funds aren't transferable

i found out from @headius.bsky.social at #rubykaigi that shoes is still around and (kicking?) here's shoes from 16 years ago running on windows

in an airport in Japan for the first time and literally the only thing to care for tbh

Largest #RubyKaigi ever! #RubyKaigi2025

@fractaledmind.bsky.social I saw you at #rubykaigi but I didn't connect that it was you; would love to chat about acidic_job since I've been thinking of similar abstractions if you're around

the trash segregation game at #rubykaigi is intense and awesome, 5+1 ways and you can't weasel your way out because there are people monitoring your droppage and will force you to do it right

a warm sunny day in Matsuyama at #rubykaigi with a portion of @tramline.app hanging about say hi if you see us

there was a time in the last couple of years when starting up where I was like linkedin is just a subtle perspective shift, there is obviously grift, but people are trying to make things happen in a direction they want to pursue and this is generally a good thing, but now I'm like this is all grift

Native support for app rollbacks is still missing in the app stores, and could be a game-changer for delivering reliable mobile experiences. Are Cupertino and Mountain View paying attention? www.tramline.app/blog/dear-ap...

i am looking for work. preferably between india and canada/usa, preferably in open source, preferably leading teams. but i'm good at a few other things, too. :) www.deobald.ca/essays/2025-... retweets appreciated! (yeah. let's still just call them tweets.)

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

My Dahi Toast recipe, up on @recipe.exchange ≠ recipe.exchange/recipes/01JE...

Excited to soft launch recipe.exchange - a clean, simple way to share recipes on the AT Protocol. No ads, no clutter, just recipes. Post, search, share, and like. You own your data. Still more features to come, but would love early feedback from fellow food enthusiasts! recipe.exchange

it's true: the first two losing battles in the 8 mile finale are obv actually better than rabbit's own

#HelloBluesky Aviary is a tool that lets you share domains with other people on #bluesky. See it in action at dads.lol and atproto.rocks. aviary.domains

y'all remember the time in television when showrunners would push the season climax at episode n-1 or n-2 and the remainder of episodes are just peaceful meanderings on the remnants of the consequences anyway that's what Fridays are like for me
