I moved most of my projects off GitHub to Forgejo and will be using Tangled too for public repositories. I don’t think people realize that if you self host Forgejo, you get 99% of the functionality of GitHub with zero of the limitations. Es

I’m actively working on an alternative Frontend for Forgejo at the moment, completely self hostable, free, and open source. Moving everything from GitHub to Forgejo and Tangled for now. These outages haven’t effected me for the past month b

I left a similar comment elsewhere in this thread. I still remember when so many people hallucinated that we would suddenly have flying cars by 2002 at the latest. If we achieve several more major improvements on current technology, these t

I appreciate your insights in a sea of psychosis comments. I find it strange how many people think we have achieved the likes of Y2K flying cars 20 years ago, or the dream of having every car on the road be an electric fully self driving ca

Not to mention how trigger happy LLMs can be when it comes to being overly verbose and adding unnecessary bits even with explicit direction not to do so.

This made it impossible for me to read, and Safari Reader was unavailable, further cementing my press of the back button.

When doing this remove write permissions on the test file, it will do a much better job of staying the course over long periods. I've been doing this for over a year now.

Well said. I have to review PRs of non-software developers nowadays. The “what is this trying to do?” has never been harder to answer than before. It creates scenarios where 99% is correct, but the most important area is subtly broken. I pr

I carefully review far more than 14k LoC a week… I’m sure many here do. Certainly the language you write in will greatly bloat those numbers though, and Node in particular can be fairly boilerplate heavy.

I tried this for a week and gave up. Required far too much back and forth. Ate too many tokens, and required too much human in the loop. For this reason I don’t think it’s actually a good name. It should be called planning-shit instead. Sin

Been using Elixir with agents for over a year. Seemed like an obvious choice to me. Node is great, but scaling Elixir threads is more so.

“NPM registry directory” sounds terribly confusing in my opinion, reads like a grammatical mishap

Same, I am looking forward to starting my own company in the next year or two, and exploring the CTO role, especially after so many years as a Staff+ operating as an arm of CTOs and learning the ropes.

You wouldn't use it in an offline-first application. But you can use it an offline-first application, and it isn't even very difficult. I have built electron apps for fun that utilize React Server Components entirely offline.

The official blog post disagrees. > Even if your app does not implement any React Server Function endpoints it may still be vulnerable if your app supports React Server Components.

Most repositories try to create a poor man’s wiki inside of their README. It’s better this way until that problem is solved. The other style I like is a single sentence with a single link to the actual wiki.

Ah, a teacher telling a student to get in line, or else. A tale as told as time. Since we defunded education in my area, my wife left teaching behind. She says the LLMs will let students ask whatever questions they want, but they make poor

The difference is that the masses don’t buy these devices, only us nerds do. We are much more likely to disconnect a device as soon as they’re found being malicious. While the masses won’t even react after being told the well is poisoned. L

Ever since I started using Wayland I’ve had this problem, even when I’m not using KVMs. I have to do a power reset of my monitor to get it to negotiate the correct resolution and refresh rate. Meanwhile Windows and macOS use the monitor wit

The JetKVMs I have all came with a mini HDMI to HDMI cable, so this hasn’t been an issue for me.

A governance model where “time-based decision thresholds” directly damaged veto power as time passes could be used to harness this sort of BDFL-only power in a consensus culture.

I used to run my own business when I was a child, and made a lot of money from it. Paid my way through school with my earnings. There was no sales or marketing, and all I did was product and engineering, and at no point was I politicking. S

Yep! Adding context to both your commits and your code review tools pull requests / merge requests makes everyone's lives better. Including future you, who inevitably is looking at the PR or commit in the future due to an incident

For any PR above a few line change, if a developer has not done a self review, I don’t review it all. Instead I request that it is self reviewed with context added, prior to requesting re-review. I also tend to ask the question, “are any of

I am also surprised by this. Especially because we can just run Claude Code from anywhere. Cursor, VS Code, Zed, emacs, vim, JetBrains, etc. Cursor CLI, Codex and Gemini work too, but lag slightly behind in a variety of different ways that

Most don’t need it. There was a time when most post installing flooded your terminal with annoying messages to upgrade, donate, say hi. Modern node package managers such as yarn and pnpm allow you to prevent post installs entirely. Today mo
