Let's talk about Terraform/OpenTofu - the tools that promised to revolutionize infrastructure management but instead gave us a masterclass in why "declarative" doesn't mean "predictable." After 10+ years in the trenches, here are the real issues nobody talks about.

Ever seen music born from code? Livecoding is the underground revolution where performers write algorithms on stage, turning laptops into live instruments. No pre-recorded tracks – just real-time creation.

Hot take: Comedy actors transitioning to drama often outshine traditional dramatic actors because they've mastered the hardest skill – making people feel something on command.

It's so easy to experience a crash or kernel panic in macOS/Darwin when working with native code. I've lost count of how many times this has happened today while handling a high I/O project.

Me after adding one more language to the codebase that already has 8 of them.

The web feels like Star Wars now. Cloudflare Workers compete with Vercel. Nuxt has been an amazing framework to run on Cloudflare Workers – one of the best, in fact. Then Vercel just buys them. 🤷‍♂️ x.com/nuxtlabs/st...

I now have a local and isolated mirror of everything from my most-used cloud services. It feels great! Additionally, having a local cache and partial mirror for Docker, Nix, APT, Pacman, HuggingFace, npm, and Conda over a 10G LAN is amazing!

Everyone has their one favorite artist they listen to on repeat for years, for me one of them is Stanislav Tolkachev

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🦅

Effect truly makes TypeScript exciting again! I'd been favoring Rust for complex systems lately, but the primitives that Effect offers have brought new vibrancy to TypeScript development.

Someone actually created a book from this 9-year-old meme, mykhailo.link/wtfsecbook (sorry, it's not in English 🤷‍♂️)

If you have an ultra-wide display and primarily use your Mac, you may experience several issues: VRR, HDR, and brightness controls not functioning correctly. Additionally, HDR max brightness was too dim for my liking, volume controls were broken, and screen share is a disaster.

“Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a factor that decides between success and failure.” – Edsger W. Dijkstra

I can't believe I'm saying this, but after being a fan of Home Assistant for five years, I switched back to Home Bridge. Yes, it may be a couple of ms slower in some scenarios. But if I need something custom, I'm better off writing it myself in Node.

🧵 Apple's Hidden Engineering Marvel or "One Billion Apples' Secret Sauce" Why AirDrop, Continuity, and Handoff feel like magic, while other platforms struggle with basic file transfers? The secret is AWDL a remarkable networking protocol quietly powering Apple's seamless multi-device experience.

Debating whether I should go bankrupt or not…

Words are shadows cast by intention, but intention itself is only illuminated in the world by its effects. What we mean is never in what we say, but in what our saying does – and what remains after.

First screenshot is 16 Pro Max on WiFi 7, second is Pixel 9 on WiFi 6. And my 16 Pro Max works even slower than my 15 Pro Max on WiFi 5. 16 Pro Max uses either a BCM4389 (160MHz max) or BCM4398 (320MHz capable), but Apple limits it to 160MHz max. Yet I wasn’t able to even get 160Mhz in my tests…

Where did all the engineers go who actually build things instead of just following "best practices"? Everyone's so focused on "industry standards" and "well-known approaches" - but who's teaching the art of engineering something genuinely new?

“If you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.” – Steve Jobs

It has been 24 hours since I started using the iOS 26 developer beta, and while there are some visual quirks, overall it looks and feels great! This update is refreshing, and the impact it has made in the design world already is truly amazing. This needed to happen.

I have loved Arc Browser since 2022; it's so disappointing that they abandoned it to build Dia. DX is poor on SpiderMonkey/WebKit, so I don't want Firefox, Zen, Safari, or Orion. I want a browser built with the same level of detail as Arc, using the Blink engine. Is that too much to ask for?

3D printing is amazing

It's highly likely that at some point we would have DRM or model classifiers on 3D printers and/or slicing software to prevent cases like Luigi Mangione, similar to how counterfeit prevention works with regular printers and design software.

Oh, poor guys in the review pipeline. I can only imagine the amount of AI-generated slop submissions hoping to receive a bounty. But there's a huge market and potential.

Stop fighting your ROS 2 environment! Tired of "works on my machine" nightmares, Ubuntu version lock-in, and Docker workarounds? Here's how to build faster, reproducibly, anywhere using Nix. Read my blog post: mykhailo.link/ros-devenv
