I’ve spent more time inside the Twitter codebase than 99.9999% of humanity and folks, I literally don’t understand what it would mean to give someone a quick “tour” of “the Twitter code”

Please stop using the term "learnings"

@GlennHarmonJr @dhh @giovannibassi @levelsio This is a falsehood that just will not die

@fmzakari My theory is that they all cheat and use proprietary goodies from Nixpkgs… as a treat

[Luc Perkins @lucperkins]

Hoooo boy, this was all hands on deck for months but thrilled to see where this takes us 🚀

[Determinate Systems @DeterminateSys]

FlakeHub has achieved FedRAMP High Authorization and is listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace 🎉🏛️🔐

This makes Determinate platform features like secure Nix packages, binary caching, and private flakes available to U.S. federal agencies and orgs handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

Nix's reproducible builds, sandboxing, and other supply chain features make it uniquely well suited for the highest-stakes environments and we're thrilled to finally bring it inside the FedRAMP boundary. Read more using the link in thread 🧵🔗👇

@WrldsVryFrst Excited to see more than like 7 shapes

[Luc Perkins @lucperkins]

@WrldsVryFrst For real, wtf

[Luc Perkins @lucperkins]

@microspreading @rakyll Qué tonto, boludo. Ella es turca.

[Graham Christensen @grhmc]

Last month FlakeHub Cache served a billion store paths. This month we might hit 2 billion.

One predictable and probably hilarious consequence of agentic AI making it easy to write metric pantloads of code is that we’re about to see the most monstrous, boil-the-ocean software products ever devised

@Thisisobate I hate that so many people have to do this but a very useful tool!

THEO VON: then he took my nose. he took it. it was in his hand he showed me

@rcb05 @USMNT Holy crap you are an idiot

@logtodevnull @mitchellh I'd be shocked if DHH were amenable to something like Nix

[Luc Perkins @lucperkins]

@logtodevnull @mitchellh It seems to make some reasonable choices but it's cobbled together with Bash scripts, which is not a good smell at all

[Luc Perkins @lucperkins]

@mitchellh This makes me want to go back and read Kant’s third critique

[Luc Perkins @lucperkins]

@nicomushroom For more niche things, sure. It just feels strange to watch agents string together complex command pipelines with awk, sed, grep, rando Python scripts, etc just to find and modify snippets of text.

[Luc Perkins @lucperkins]

Feels like there should be one big megatool that does like the top 100 things that agents need

[Luc Perkins @lucperkins]

@PDXReal1 @BrianManzo20 Not too late to delete the tweet, though, on the ground that it fails to make its underlying point
