Setup for the next few days

I’m not convinced Claude is faster for all programming tasks, even if you believe in not reading code in an agent-driven repository. Seems like hybrid programming is the best move right now, but you wonder if that’s slower than committing to either paradigm.

Using Siri voice to text when the wind is blowing in your AirPods is hilarious

Claude code is in timeout. Total nonsense happening at the moment.

I'm digging this Ghostty setup. All native splits and tabs.

My setup in 2026! All in on jj (no git) and nushell.

Doing something I should have done long ago @us.graphics

Behold! GitHub.

Took me a long time to realize that having your terminal launch into your interactive shell of choice is better than changing the system shell.

I don't know why but jj with nushell is just such a winning combo. They work really well together and are pretty quick drop in replacements with minimal configuration.

I'm very excited to announce that I joined @ersc.io! I started on Monday and having been working with a team of amazing, kind and forward-thinking people striving to create the future of source control. ersc.io

The Marathon soundtrack is just so good. music.apple.com/us/album/rhy...

I’m excited to announce that I’m starting the next adventure soon! I cannot thank everyone enough for reaching out, coming together, being flexible, being understanding, and surrounding myself and my colleagues that were affected by recent changes at SI.

People who have switched to nushell, was it worth it? What do you enjoy about it? How was/is it?

Thinking about merging my personal and IRL Discord usernames. Maintaining two is pain for little gain, especially with server-specific profiles.

Birthdays from Google Contacts appearing in Google Calendar is such a great feature

I want one of those Nvidia N1X laptops… hope @frame.work makes one 🤞

It’s official: I’ve wrapped up 6 years working with the best team of my career at System Initiative. I’d like to thank Adam Jacob, Mahir Lupinacci, and Alex Ethier for putting their trust in me and being their first employee hire. 1/4

Took out 68% of my Claude usage with one big ass plan mode. Ouchies.

I love when hardware manufacturers upload stp files of their computer cases.

I am embracing the serif font comeback with open arms. The flat design and sans serif era was mega stale.

Nothing can prepare you for the size of a Threadripper heat spreader

Threadripper remains undefeated as the coolest name in computer hardware

I am all in on jj github.com/jj-vcs/jj

The more I learn about custom loop watercooling for computer hardware, the more I realize why external rads are popular.

Tab management and random loads are killing the vibe a bit. It's sad because there's so much to like here, especially with native refresh rate and relative efficiency. This also may be due to macOS 26 Tahoe. I'm not alone for the performance woes from what I'm seeing on r/macOS.

Trying Five Guys before a flight again. It didn’t go well last time so surely it will this time.

I am really trying to give Safari a shot here on macOS, but random long loading times, weird tabs and permissions management... it's a bit clunky. The efficiency, speed, native refresh rate, etc. are so addicting though. Plus, it is nice not a chromium-based browser.

lol

We are almost at throttle o'clock!

I'm biased because @matthewsanabria.dev is my friend, but this is still the best jj tutorial out there. Ran through it again and it's a great starting place for trying out jj. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR6K...

Claude-in-the-browser's native refresh rate text updating is great on the eyes. ChatGPT looks dated in comparison. All W's recently for Anthropic.

Going to try to make the switch from my homegrown zsh config (no plugins) to nushell. Let's see if Claude can convert the dotfiles.

Claude just basically one-shotted converting my Hugo website into an Astro site. I was not looking forward to doing that a year ago and that was seamless. Now to fine tune it in post... this is much more fun to work with.

Alright, let's see what this thing is all about. clawd.bot

Decided to dust off the blog with a simple post: personal rig update for 2026! nickgerace.dev/posts/person...

It’s here! This was a blast to record with Matthew and Kris. Thanks for having me on @fallthrough.fm.

I'm excited for an upcoming podcast episode to release that I was on! One of the most fun episodes I've been apart of. Lot of System Initiative and a lot of looking at this crazy world we're in at the moment.

There has to be an XKCD of the two programmers sword fighting waiting for code to compile except it's now their agents running... right?

After a year of immutable copy-on-write graph finagling, distributed messaging debugging and materialized views correctness work, it was therapeutic to write simple Rust / PostgreSQL PR. Took a trip down memory lane. Looked like an SI PR from 4 years ago 🥲

CachyOS users and ZFS fans: today is your lucky day! My friend @fnichol.com created an installer just for you. github.com/fnichol/cach...

I think anyone coming to a firm conclusion on how AI is affecting software engineering teams is way too early to the punch.

I'm not even sure how/if this is possible, but I think I made a span link fork bomb and crashed the jaeger UI

It's funny that as a kid, TV and videogames were "junk food" for your brain, where now that's high brow compared to scrolling short form video content or social media.

Starting to prefer MIT over Apache 2.0 as far as non-copyleft licenses go. Just much more simple for a similar result.

Perhaps we were too harsh on Kubernetes

I swear every cloud vendor I touch creates an outage
