Coding agents are great. We can build projects we never thought possible. But it also reduces the hands on keyboard time we all have writing code. This can lead to atrophy of those programming skills. We need to find a balance between prompting and programming. @matthewsanabria.com #tech #llms

“I don’t have time” usually isn’t the real issue. @goinggo.net explains why the real challenge is attention management, not time management, and why your priorities show up in where your focus goes. 🎥 youtube.com/shorts/rQMpO... #Leadership #Productivity #CareerGrowth #AttentionManagement

Which pepper burns faster?

New baseball episode just dropped share.transistor.fm/s/6098caad

If cars weren't a waste of money I'd buy the 2027 Nismo Z in manual transmission and drive the heck out of it.

In some ways, the way people are acting around AI makes sense: the business is incentivized by shareholder pressure to invest heavily in it and employees are incentivized by the business to invest their energy into it. If want this to change, we need systemic fixes. @matthewsanabria.com #tech

Giving at talk at interfaceqc.com in 15 minutes about @jj-vcs.dev

Yum!

We often treat load-bearing infrastructure in software ecosystems an unserious way. When catastrophic things happen in software ecosystems we rarely make the systemic changes requires to ensure it won't happen again. @matthewsanabria.com #infrastructure #software #softwareengineering

We've strayed so far...

I also have SMTP working so Bluesky can ask to verify my email address. Perfection.

Finally migrated from the Bluesky PDS to my own self-hosted PDS. Took about an hour which was mostly spent reading so I understood what would happen. plc.directory/did:plc:brfb...

We've been told the world is run by incredibly strategic multi-billion and multi-trillion dollar companies, but for those who work inside them, it feels like nothing could be further from the truth. Would these companies function if all the EAs stopped working? @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com

They peaced out so hard.

Poor mouse. Probably overheating. I'll try to save them if I can catch them.

Baby's up 2 pounds. Daddy's down 5 pounds. Mommy's recovering well.

I guess I'm nobody.

Sick! UniFi supports Let's Encrypt now. Just provisioned a certificate from my phone.

Ay!

Cloudflare Tunnels are pretty neat. More CDNs need this feature. Would love if Bunny CDN had it.

Don't call your kid a terror or say things like "terrible 2s." You're just proclaiming your future that way.

A little oil goes a long way. I'll never buy anything but real wood.

Local models plus MCP is nice. Imagine burning paid tokens for tasks like this. I have to figure out how to let the model find the current date. I didn't run it with local tools, only tool calling via the harness.

You know what's rude? My air quality monitor dropped from 100 when I walked into the room. I know I just finished working outside but dang!

Why do we talk about fan noise so much? FAQ Friday #46

I meant to tag @oxide.computer but I ain't deleting all those to repost. Bluesky needs editing yesterday.

My personal website now runs on Oxide Computer Company by dogfooding my team's Kubernetes integrations. Let's talk architecture.

Went to StackOverflow. Read the following. "Unbelievable. Github is a dead product."

I'm doing it myself! Quotes were $3,000 to $4,500 to remove attic insulation and replace with R-49 blown-in. 500 sq ft. Materials to do it myself are ~$1,000. That remaining $2,000 to $3,500 is gonna pay the hospital bill for my newborn and wife. Adulting, am I right?

"...experienced a platform-wide service disruption due to Google Cloud incorrectly placing our account in a suspended status." Own your cloud instead with @oxide.computer.

It's only a few days old haha.

The age old question. Do I do it myself and spend time but save money? Do I hire someone for 3x the price and save time?

yzma 1.14 was just released, and you need it for the latest llama.cpp. Plus a major upgrade to tool and message parsing support, shiny new download progress indicator, and more. go get your update now! github.com/hybridgroup/... #golang #llamacpp #llm #vlm #slm #tlm #vla #gguf

If you don't talk to your LLMs like this you're already behind.

CI/CD is so much better on ephemeral @oxide.computer instances.

Greek yogurt and strawberries used to be a healthy snack. Now it's healthy with a side of cancer.

Access to agentic LLMs via my mobile device is dangerous. I just spent $15 while waiting for my to-go order.

We've published episode 71: He Who Controls the Source. Happy Listening!

1) No, see quote of original post. 2) No, see quote of original post. 3) Because we make silly typos that we want to fix, some of which may alter the meaning of the post. Keeping downstream clients from 404ing and the post from losing metadata like likes is important.

1) Too short. 2) Silly. 3) Good. 4) This eliminates the need for 1 & 2. 5) The version history of one edit? Silly. Just expand edit duration and frequency. 6) I see no reason for this. I'm a fan of some future edit functionality but this needs tweaking. Thanks for posting about it!

It's never been a better time to have an always-on remote development machine. Preferably one you own rather than rent.

I'm a bit disappointed in Framework. They recently added the option to purchase a 3-year warranty for the Framework Desktop but those that bought one at launch can't purchase even a prorated 3-year warranty. Time to be an influencer and get free models.

"The agent brings the enthusiasm to start. I have to bring the wisdom to stop." - @evanphx.dev A look at how we actually plan, design, build, and review software at Miren now that an agent is doing most of the typing. miren.dev/blog/inside-...

Hard life.

🚢 New episode of Changelog & Friends! changelog.am/130

I used Gemini to guide me through tilling, seeding, feeding, and watering my new grass. Does this mean landscaping companies are dead? No. They can do this at a much larger scale than I can because they have the equipment to do so.

One of the things I'll give Anthropic credit for is when their official accounts post their employees are all over quote posting from their personal accounts. I wonder if there's some internal mandate for this.

It's so beautiful!
