This makes a lot of sense. We've seen how quickly and randomly Claude Code can sour on you (if it's even up). Nobody who uses this for work wants to be reliant on that.

A lot of blood in the water for Github.

The main reason I use Aerospace (after a thorough testing of most macOS third party window managers) is for the space management and instant space switching.

This test is good and also I'm not sure it's meant to be funny, but it is very funny.

Nix does not really work in that even basic things are absurdly complicated and can take days of messing with poor libraries and documentation. That's not been my experience with jj which after the initial hurdle is a breeze.

One group of people pretends to have written something and another group of people pretends to have read something. Much productivity is gained. Zizek had a great point about this.

I think that's fair. Funny to have a language that makes it prohibitively difficult to use most of the core computer science constructs (lists, graphs etc.).

No Swift was developed as a strategic moat around Apple's devices. They cannot be dependent on any other party for the main language that runs on their hardware. Controlling your own destiny full stack means having your own language.

Swift is Apple's toy language and they cannot and will not allow it to be anything more than that.

Great work on the 20% of making a working chat app. Now somebody has to do the remaining 80% and then the other remaining 80%.

It’s against money laundering. Onerous regulations being interpreted highly defensively create these kind outcomes. Neither the people creating the legislations nor the people at Apple responsible for these flows care very much about collat

All these platforms are kind of a non-starter at scale. The thing that would really stand out is something that has the user friendly workflow definition but then for production running, bakes it into a container that's orchestrated on

We figured out a decade ago or so that Slack was entirely unsustainable for any kind of community type usage. Glad to see that more people are coming to that realization.

NPM is a Github company and when there was a relatively serious attack in Github Actions a while back there was also pretty much zero response from them. Github is SOC2 compliant, but that of course means nothing really.

GitHub’s incident response to this took 17 hours give or take. Actions is a paid service but Microsoft probably replaced all the security teams with AI.

This seems impossibly broad. Realistically an agent would only be able to take tasks for whatever limited domain it can execute on. So either every approach it does has to be hard coded or it would be able to use a bunch of very generic mod
