There are exceptions to this btw. C, Zig, Rust are all quite portable. But there’s no great “many platforms” answer that’s productized Ghostty and libghostty with their thin platform wrappers are an example of this done well

Systems Distributed is going to be in Boston this summer! You should come if you're into distributed systems, databases, zig, or other cool shit systemsdistributed.com

dude macos is FUCKING ASS

the goal of having one unified language across your entire "stack" is and has always been totally wrong. it became an exponential multiplier for accidental complexity and leads to very poor outcomes

When @bsky.app goes down I legitimately do not notice. My account hosted is on @selfhosted.social. I use the @blackskyweb.xyz app service with the @skeetsapp.com and @jollywhoppers.com's Witchsky clients. You all have agency here. We have self determination.

Debuggers still are goated for understanding what your code is doing My typical workflow with Claude is writing a fair bit of code and tests, then stepping through every line in the debugger (vs code) It forces me to slow down and see what's happening while still not taking forever

This is a great talk www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxDR...

I think one of the reasons I feel exhausted all the time now is that: 1. I work mostly on long-term software that _matters_ and can't/shouldn't be slop that's just lobbed over the fence (AI can help us produce better code faster still tho!)

It’s weird that we created open source to be free to fork and personalize however you want without any agreement from upstream, and then we created social norms where we shame people for doing that

nasty code (complimentary) vs clean code (derogatory)

this is so rad!

The people who made the “act your age, get off your parents insurance” commercials should have tomatoes hurled at them

I have suddenly realized that bloomin onion is a great name for a bloom filter library @jaz.sh just saying

We're changing up the format of office hours a bit, starting with something of a rebrand. Tune in to Off Protocol LIVE tomorrow to find out more.

If AT Proto has a million fans, then I am one of them. If AT Proto has ten fans, then I am one of them. If AT Proto has only one fan then that is me. If AT Proto has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against AT Proto, then I am against the world.

I used to really enjoy sitting down with a cup of tea and programming at night. It was a great hobby! But tbh AI has beat that enjoyment out of me. I haven't done that in many months now Most days I feel excited about how much we're gaining with AI, but today for some reason I'm melancholy

some things you can really only do the once or they become rote but if I could relive one moment this here would be high on the list www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s67...

I regret literally 100% of the programming language discussions I wade in to. Who cares just write awesome shit that makes you and your users feel something

tired: rewrite ghostty in rust wired: rewrite ripgrep in zig

didn’t even mention zig smdh

new data diary! this is the most in the weeds yet, all revolving around our proposed URI structure for permissioned data. turns out you can figure out a lot about a protocol from the uri! as always, let me know what you think :)

I present the AI discourse spectrum, do not tag yourself stupid (arrogance) <-----------------------> stupid (psychosis)

number one thing claude does that frustrates me: it rewrites golang's strings package over and over again unless you tell it not to

The main thing in art and entertainment to keep your finger on the pulse of the fans and what they want, their feedback is so important.

i’m on vacation this week and am not generally paying attention to social media, but i feel obligated as a member of the technology industry to say that i want absolutely no part of a “Technological Republic.” what a puerile, ahistorical and amoral set of aims. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

being able to throw code away like it’s nothing is a superpower
