My biggest annoyance with gitlab is that the UI is one huge block of text on white background with absolutely no distinction between user content (like commit messages) and the interface itself, plus you have action buttons buried in the mi

There are still a few things missing from all models: taste, shame and ambition. Yes they can write code, but they have no idea what needs does that code solve, what a good UX looks like and what not to ship. Not to mention that they all ev

Adding more LSP features to the jinja linter for saltstack that I wrote, so you can see all the bugs in your templates from VSCode (rather than waiting for CI) and do things like “rename this jinja variable everywhere it’s being used”.

Looking forward to the “just in vibe” software ecosystem where your entire os is an LLM coding agent that creates a tool you need when you need it.

I think it might be because with ad model you can sell profiling data many times over to different parties. You can’t do the same with a single charge.

IMHO in a way the constant churn of Grafana made it easier to live with it. When they break your dashboards every major release you just learn to let go. And by break it’s not just making it error and not work, it’s the constant moving of t

Speaking of GitHub issues if you go to Insight->Traffic in your repo you’ll most likely see this banner: “ Referring sites and popular content are temporarily unavailable or may not display accurately. We're actively working to reso

The problem with AI isn’t new, it’s the same old problem with technology: computers don’t do what you want, only what you tell them. A lot of PRs can be judged by how well they are described and justified, it’s because the code itself isn’t

I can imagine the near future where companies “sponsor” open source projects by donating tokens to “mine” a PR for a feature they need.

I find the 2025 versions to be a nicer looking than pre-2025 variants, so it’s overall an improvement. But I also find the 2014 to be usually a lot better (clearer and more obvious). So incrementally it’s an improvement, but historically st

I think a lot of people, when they see an open source project that somehow fits into their current challenges, read it as the person realising the project saying “I alone now own this entire problem space” and so that GitHub repo is now jus

Well done, next maybe make the web ui usable because right now there’s absolutely no distinction between the UI itself and the user content, which IMHO combined with action buttons in the middle of the page makes for a really poor ux.

I often find Copilot summaries to be more or less an attempt at mainsplaining a simple change. If my tiny PR with a one line description requires Copilot to output a paragraph of text about it it’s not a summary, it’s simply time wasted on

All those companies just want to provide value to users while breaking even on costs, it’s a shame they keep accidentally creating addictive products that break all user promises and keep adding more and more ways to squeeze out extra reven

Once the world is all run on AI generated code how much memory and cpu cycles will be lost to unnecessary code? Is the next wave of HN top stories “How we ditched AI code and reduced our AWS bill by 10000%”?

I think that the default Gnome theme is fantastic, unique and very elegant. It has nothing to be ashamed of even when compared to macOS look and feel.

There is a huge wall of placeholder being replaced with issues when the issues tab loads, which is pretty annoying when you got used to the old UI. But it’s nice to see M$ can still deliver features without Autocomplete Integration forced i

Isn’t it as simple as management wanting to be first one across the release line, with the wishful thinking of “we’ll fix everything later”?

Most of this behaviour comes from the desire by many companies to by compliant with a lot of security regulations. Which in many cases means silly rule like “you must run and action a security scanning system”. Because a lot of these scanne

The most annoying thing about chatbots on websites is that they are the first thing you see. You open a page and before you can even try to navigate anywhere you get a pop up asking “You look lost. What seems to be the trouble?!”
