@ThePrimeagen I do that with a simple script that calls `gh pr`, and an Emacs function to pipe the output into a compilation mode buffer. So I can see all the comments from github from both agents and humans and jump to every location very easily, game changer.

@cathrynlavery And atuin!

@mhmazur I have 3 worktrees and I rotate between them, it's useful specially for things that take a while to run and experiments, I don't want to be blocked while Claude does something that might not go anywhere anyway.

@theo Have you heard of hyprland? I'm not sure no-one has ever mentioned that before

@mattpocockuk Setting up the perfect AI agent workflow is the modern equivalent of the blog engine, developers would do anything to avoid real work

[andrea crotti @andreacrotti]

@burkov That assumes that the tests are great, and cover all the behaviours that people rely on. Once something is deployed and has users just rewriting the whole thing to fix a bug might be a very bad idea

And your bloodline dies out, and you never truly grow up. And you have no stake in the future. That’s not a life hack. It would have been unthinkable to boast about this throughout nearly all of human history. Bragging about not having kids because you can travel to Europe more easily and disappear on weekends is about as narcissistic as one can be.

@melqtx Zellij is a lot nicer

[andrea crotti @andreacrotti]

@hakluke Yeah you should switch directly to fish instead

Am I the only one to open some files with Vim from inside a projectile vterm in #Emacs, just because I can and it actually works :D?

[andrea crotti @andreacrotti]

@hjanuschka @dhh I can see a client-id and client-secret in your chromium flags, potentially dangerous?

[andrea crotti @andreacrotti]

@potetm I use make and bash to be clear when, but in clojure jobs I would use babashka (or python script) since bash is a disgusting programming language for annoying longer than 5 lines of code. It's convenient but let's not pretend that it's a good language

[andrea crotti @andreacrotti]

@potetm Make is great, available everywhere, easy to write/read and you also get nice auto completions of the targets with any decent shell. And you can still make it call a script if there is too much logic.

@jrswab Now that uv solved dependency management good luck convincing them

[andrea crotti @andreacrotti]

If you have a Python monolith, consider using https://t.co/MnGAhexQCt
and converting your monolith into a monorepo.
uv is brilliant and with workspaces, extracting internal libraries is a breeze.

@valigo Did you try chezmoi?

[andrea crotti @andreacrotti]

@GarrodAlwood @theo Yeah of course, I love it! Ruff is also great and I'm looking forward to move to ty for the type checking

[andrea crotti @andreacrotti]

@potetm It's not about number of chars, recur is a hack that was necessary because you could but do TCO on the JVM I believe. With Haskell recursion is just more natural and the data structure is defined much more clearly
