You’re reading about build systems and suddenly they hit you with the Brain Destroyer 9000

Truth. #Caturday

@siracusa.social I’ve been out of the ATP game for a while. What’s the current toaster recommendation?

I’ve been using “lima” to manage VMs and every time I see “lima” I read “ligma.” I can’t tell anyone at work because they’re actual professionals, so here you go, internet. #deardiary

Ever wondered what Goodreads would be like if it didn’t suck? That’s @hardcover.app

So excited that this is finally public!

How's your day going? #Nix

This is a big feature we’ve been working on for a bit and it’s really cool. You essentially get a private, language-agnostic software repository integrated with your developer environment.

@bugarela.bsky.social you can install Quint with @flox.dev now :) hub.flox.dev/packages/bas...

We're thrilled to be part of Redpoint’s 2025 InfraRed 100 list, which highlights 100 transformative companies in cloud infrastructure. Proud to be in such outstanding company! buff.ly/OFIborH

New blog post about a @flox.dev feature I worked on that I've wanted since I joined the company two years ago: tinkering.xyz/flox-composi... This feature lets you compose developer environments, or prepare distinct, building-block envs and combine them for new projects. It's *so cool*. #Nix

Perfection

As an official #eink stan, there’s a strong urge to buy an E-ink monitor and develop a #hyprland theme that works well for grey scale displays. I’ve been on a real “reducing distractions” kick lately. I’ve been sick all week and decided to leave my Apple Watch off, and feel so much better.

There's still time to register for tomorrow's live event with Kelsey Hightower and Ron Efroni! Attend and hear how Nix can change the way you think about managing software.

Nix represents a different way of building reproducible software, but Nix has its own challenges, and in many ways Docker already won. So what hope is there for something like Nix in the long run? Come find out tomorrow at the @flox.dev virtual event.

I have four plane flights coming up. Such a chore. Packing, checking in, scheduling a cab to the airport, and leaving instructions for my funeral.

Bullshit like this is why many #Autistic people feel like there’s no material benefit to getting a formal diagnosis.

Decided to try out Amazon’s AI thing today and asked it to find me products similar to an $8 USB-A reading light but with USB-C. Its recommendation was a $140 monitor light bar. Cool, good job.

I consider myself a pretty normal engineer. A benefit of making systems that allow normal engineers to succeed is that they are generally kinder towards and more supportive of our neurodivergent colleagues (like myself). #adhd #autism #audhd refactoring.fm/p/in-praise-...

Hey, uhhh Okay bye

I have a new toy! I love #e-ink devices, and it’s incredibly timely that we also got the announcement that #Pebble watches are coming back!

Here in Boulder it was below zero with about 8 inches of snow this weekend, so I set up a calibre-web server (github.com/janeczku/cal...) on a Hetzner machine with #NixOS installed. #booksky

@chriskrycho.com @etorreborre.blog My LambdaConf talk was accepted. I'll be talking about the next generation of developer environments with @flox.dev

One of the most fun things you can do when you’re into #whiskey, #wine, #coffee etc is taste things blind. Without someone to pour for me I’ve made a bunch of blind samples and a few spreadsheets so that I can blind taste a bunch of stuff on my own.

@chriskrycho.com is there anything in the jj-verse that will show jj status in gutters in an editor, or do you use a colocated git repo if you want that?

New Years at a curling club in Wisconsin is a great way to spend New Years 1/2

As a recently diagnosed Autistic person, I’m constantly analyzing the things I struggle with. I think packing for trips is a big pain for me. Planning the trip? No problem. Predicting which situations/weather I’ll be in and how to dress for them? Brain in overdrive. #Autism #AuDHD

Seems like the U.S. already has a strategic Bitcoin reserve, the correct strategy being zero Bitcoins

Bit of a history lesson about who historically did the distilling. Spoiler but not a spoiler: it’s not (just) white dudes: youtu.be/jVsG84B3PEM?... #whiskey
