I think many of us have been burned by the absolutely awful and unstable JIRA MCP and found that skills using `acli` actually work and view the rest of the MCP space thru that lens. Lots of early - and current! - MCP implementations were ba

I don’t love this approach either (what a security nightmare…) - but it is easy to do for users and developers alike. Having to juggle a bunch of apt-like repositories for different distros is a huge time sink and adds a bunch of build comp

Yep - we do exactly the same with Claude. In fact - part of our PR review automation with Claude includes checking whether the PR is tightly scoped or should be split apart. I’d say in about 80% of the cases the Claude review bot is accurat

I personally find this to be a substantially better pattern. That squashed commit also becomes the entire changeset - so from a code archeology perspective it becomes much easier to understand what and why. Especially if you have a team cul

Thanks for sharing this. I love Merlin but never knew how they got it to be so good. Blood, sweat, and tears - of course - as everything actually valuable and useful requires.

The nature of the ultra wealthy is obviously no different than the rest of us - but the nurture and environment they live is in extremely different. That they live so isolated from the broader human community, are so disconnected from routi

South Korea has tons of undeveloped land. Just look at an aerial imagery map. It’s just that it’s quite mountainous and heavily forested. (Not that I think we should tear down the forests for this - surface parking lots are already an ineff

All the more reason to not squander a finite, precious resource to generate electricity.

Were people reviewing your hobby projects previously? Were you on-call for your hobby website? If not - then it sounds like nothing changed?

Were you not reviewing every line when a human wrote it before it went to prod? I think the output of these tools is about as good as a human would write - which means it needs thorough review if I’m going to be on the hook to resolve its i

This is a really helpful explanation - thank you! Regarding Docker Desktop on Linux - yeah definitely not strictly necessary. Sometimes it’s just convenient to have a UI instead of fumbling around trying to remember some cli incantation to

Nix in CI seems like a really excellent match. I don’t care much about the ATproto space - but Tangled has built their CI system on Nix and I find that really compelling. CI Caching is just awful with GitHub actions - so it made me disappoi

I don’t any experience with Nix - but how does it handle software which runs its own updating processes outside the package manager? Specifically thinking about software like Discord, Slack, Docker Desktop, Jetbrains Toolbox, etc. Is the Ni

I’m relatively new to Linux desktop and this hasn’t been my experience at all. What do you think doesn’t work?

We’d probably get better outcomes too.

Idk - I’ve been trying out Linux gaming on Bazzite and everything seems to just work? It’s been a basically flawless experience. I dual boot Linux + Windows (technically triple boot - I have a third drive with a different distro for dev wor

They’re in Denver now (not available to the public yet) for this exact reason. Unfortunately we’ve had our least snowy winter in recorded history this year - so they only got a few days of real snow.

If coding truly becomes effortless to produce - and by that extension a product becomes near free to produce - then I find it quite odd that the executive class thinks their businesses won’t be completely up ended by a raging sea of competi

Stoked to see this! I’ve been using bubble tea and all its accoutrements on various little hobby projects for the past few years. Love the ergonomics and aesthetics and can’t wait to try out v2!

The loot itself is - quite literally - mostly trash. Sometimes you may find a high end weapon (although usually that comes from PvP…) - but typically you’re just bringing stuff back to put in your scrap hoard. The PvP is really the highligh

There are many wonderful educational channels on YouTube. Just as in a classroom - you cannot passively absorb material and expect to understand it with any depth. You can absolutely get the same education off YouTube. The only advantage a

This is such an uncharitable take of your peers. The issue is not pedigree - it’s that many folks have an incurious mind. I certainly know many folks with a CS degree that are incurious and frankly terrible engineers. I also know bootcamper

Random ideas: - it could work like the Kagi smallweb. people submit sites and you can’t submit your own until you submit (and have accepted) enough of others - I’m also envisioning a parallel world where the big tech monopolies next existed
