As far as I can tell you can theme nearly everything in the app. I've got custom colors for diffs and some syntax, and my base theme is ripped from Monokai.

A redundant cloud that could be rug pulled from you any day if the platform decides you are in violation of their terms, or if they just dont like your project. Yes, on prem is more sovereign than that. That doesnt mean it doesn't have

#2 makes #1 a big problem. AI-generated code is fine if you have thorough engineering practices around it. Are they blindly merging in AI generated code without review? Maybe. Thats an issue of engineering practices, not of the use of gener

No less than self hosted, imo. If youre on some cloud it doesnt really matter that you pay them absurd amounts of money, you arent sovereign.

"We gave DROP grants in prod to the user running AI agents irresponsibly at our company, and the expected happened." FTFY. In seriousness, RBAC, sandboxing, any thing but just giving it access to all tools with the highest privile

Would love some more info on how you got any local model working with Crush. Love charmbracelet but the docs are all over the place on linking into arbitrary APIs.

Some people believe only copyleft licenses are open source. They're right on principle, wrong in (legal) practice.

Remember, just because people repeated it so many times it made it to this list, does not mean its true. There may be some truth in most of these, but none of these are "Laws". They are aphorisms: punchy one liners with the intent

Cal.com going closed source was, without a doubt, shortsighted and unwise. I would recommend the blog post from the maintainers of Discourse on this.

"Building" is always easier when you have a community that is ready and able to rout out bugs and suggest new features. Closed source makes that much less practical and appealing for most.

this is for AI agent work though. That's cool, but not every team that wants better UX for complex work uses agents. Even if it "just works" for real scenarios, the marketing could be better.

I concur. I cannot accept that we are so disconnected from what we're building that we can't go back and revise our commits or something else to make it make sense.

Why is this a service and not an open source project? It doesn't seem to do much other than organize your commits within a PR (could be run once on a dev machine and shipped in the code, then displayed separately) and builds a dashbo

When I try to discuss critical thinking skills with some of my peers and with one of my older brothers, this is dismissed as being in line with critical theory / CRT / doublethink from 1984. There is apparently an ideological comp

I work in between two teams that would prefer no code review except for by pair programming (militantly arguing that this is the only true trunk based development, those small PRs are something else) and a team that every individual wants t

I appreciate the push for an official rust frontend. I've personally been migrating (slowly) to using nix to manage my Mac's software, but there are a ton of limitations which lead me to rely on homebrew anyway. The speed ups will

There was no "telemetry" in uv to begin with. They're just aiming for an emotional response. Read about the "telemetry" they removed and you'll find it funny.

by tfrancisl 7mo ago
Theyre saying "we removed telemetry" with the hopes of getting an emotional response from people who are privacy-focused, to get quick stars/attention.

by tfrancisl 7mo ago
Super tenuous to claim that the info being sent to package indices constitutes "telemetry". Very clear this is a clout chaser.

If I werent more critical, I would have read this as an astroturf by big tech sort of thing. Like "it's inevitable that big tech will win, and so therefore syndicate everywhere or you have lost the game." I dont really get wh

These compliance companies are not primarily tasked with auditing, as this article makes very clear. Delve is in control of the auditing process in a way that is inappropriate and unusual for this industry. The work that the company with th

Maybe no one wakes up wanting to deal with compliance, but it you found a company that has legal or moral obligations to be compliant with these standards, you sure have signed yourself up for it. Passing the responsibility off to some othe

My issue with the second one is that, as an engineer, I am almost never the one trusted with managing ROI. In r&d this just means your product people expect delivery earlier and earlier, and will accept lower and lower quality if they

Oh, so the Google playstore since... forever. Or at least as long as I can remember. If you have a "search" feature on your <anything app> it should filter down to exactly what you would expect, no sponsored positions, no ir

LLMs are awful at nix in my experience. Just learn the fundamentals of the language and build something with it.

Totally agree. Fish out of the box is super performant, lots of tools ship completions for it, and the UX is just great. Only recommendation for people new to fish is to read the keybinds thoroughly. I convinced an eng on my team to switch
