Takin a rip from this and blowing the fattest clouds

Developer Voices by @krisajenkins.bsky.social is one of our favorite podcasts at AntithesisHQ and he's just given our office metal band a name. While you wait for their first album to drop, perhaps you'd like to watch his interview with Will Wilson? Links below.

How do you test software, if you want to be *really* thorough about it? To answer that question this week we're going as far back as the 8-Bit Nintendo, as far down as the CPU, and nearly as far up and away as Mars. Will Wilson joins me to explore how far you can push testing… youtu.be/_xJ4maWhSNU

i constantly think about this post

Snort laughed at work

Remember how our platform plays #Nintendo games in its spare time? That's our #fuzzer learning to bomb-jump in #Metroid. Will wrote the story in a real labor of love. Link in first comment. Happy Friday! antithesis.com/blog/2025/me...

If there were a single lesson I'd drill into new software engineers it'd be this: You can be technically right and politically and systemically dead wrong.

One of my favorite uses of llms so far has been migrating config. I wanted to play around with hyprland after using i3 for a long time. I pointed the LLM at my nixos config for i3 and it migrated everything without issue

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

Sure, sex is cool, but, have you ever refactored your NixOS config?

Today, FoundationDB is critical infra at Snowflake, Deepseek, Apple, and many other companies. But it started with some guys in a garage, building a demo with plywood and light bulbs... Hear the full story, told by the FDB founders, on the first episode of Antithesis's new BugBash podcast. #databs

this summer, before you drink a glass of water, ask yourself: does claude need it more?

KNOWING COMPUTER SHIT: pros: being able to figure out some silly bullshit issue and cobble a fix together cons: [crying, screaming, throwing up, etc]

this is how i feel about unsafe Rust code that takes a reference to the deref of a raw pointer

🚀 Had some fun hacking together a new TUI (with @ratatui_rs) to dig into the #FoundationDB #simulation framework! It visualizes nemesis workloads like: ⚡ Attrition 🌐 Network Splits ⏳ Induced Latencies Check it out here 👉 github.com/PierreZ/fdb-...

New blogpost published! "So, You Want to Learn More About Deterministic Simulation Testing?"

me: *running brew update* 7yr old watching over my shoulder: what's an 'update'? wait, i know! it's when you make something better! me: ....... not necessarily.

skiplabs.io seems to be gaining some traction today. I think these "reactive" environments are incredibly fun when they work well but can lead to some gnarly bugs when they don't As the DX improves I could see this become the standard way to make an app going forward

WILLEM DAFOE: what skills do you have? ME: I am pretty good at getting people to like me WILLEM DAFRIEND: I agree

Doing the classic "try to get nvidia drivers work well on linux", caused a crash. I gave the logs to chatgpt for a hail mary "There’s a lot going on in the log" you're telling me buddy

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust. From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!

Wow, a conference with a totally insane speaker list on my birthday? Thanks 🤩 I will be at #bugbash in Washington next April 🐛 https://buff.ly/3Wz9ENm

I've been cooking up something that could be pretty sweet for #nix I've used some of github.com/oxalica/nil as a base to start a hopefully decently usable nix type checker. I only have small subset of the lang supported right now so will probably hit some road block, but good for now!

Where are the #nixos Stan's at....
