@varun_daram @jachands We are monorepo.

[Anthony Shew @anthonyshew]

I can fix him.

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

Monorepos were always an anti-pattern

@JacobMGEvans @jachands *We can fix him.*

[Anthony Shew @anthonyshew]

@mehulkar 😂 Luckily, Vercel Security Review™️ is stopping him.

My CTO found my repo.

@cramforce LoC to value ratio is in your favor.

@grok how do i not get fired in this situation

[Anthony Shew @anthonyshew]

@markoa Thank you; I missed the easiest one.

CI myths the Twitterverse is believing right now:

- "Larger or faster machines will solve my problems."
- "Deleting unit tests is a good thing to do."
- "Agentic test selection is the answer."
- "Coding agents don't need CI."
- "Monorepos don't work for agents."

Vercel Security Review, less than 1 week since launch:
✓ 𝟱𝟳,𝟴𝟵𝟳 vulnerabilities identified
✓ 𝟲,𝟬𝟮𝟵 critical or high
✓ 𝟭𝟰,𝟲𝟲𝟱 already patched by Agent

I'm shocked at ① the number of critical vulnerabilities that would go unnoticed and ② the ease at which the agent automatically fixes them.

You can turn it on for any repo, no matter where you deploy to.

@lukeisandberg Just wait.

Works without thinking (Agents set it all up without an issue)

libghostty 1.0 is here! I started Ghostty ~5yrs ago to work towards this. Today, libghostty is in hundreds of projects used by tens of millions of people. 1.0 marks ABI stability, quality, and an invite for distros to begin packaging. https://t.co/i0FoSZHJT3

Since starting the Ghostty project in 2022, the most common question I've been asked is "why?". Today, I'll answer this by showing the broad industry impact libghostty has already had.

On top of JetBrains and Neovim already mentioned (that alone being over 10 million users):
-KDE developers are experimenting with a Konsole replacement built on it.
- Vercel's Turborepo uses it to render task output in its TUI.
- devenv uses it to drive shells.
- Antithesis used it to fuzz TUI programs and found real bugs in btop and others.
-Ghostel brings it to Emacs.
- ghostty-web is the WASM build with an Xterm.js-compatible API.
- Commercial products like OrbStack embed it.
- And a whole wave of new terminals and "agentic" coding tools, such as herdr and cmux, have been built on it rather than writing yet another emulator.

There are community bindings for Rust, Go, JavaScript, Swift, Python, .NET, Elixir, Dart, Java, and more, and the awesome-libghostty list tracks well over a hundred projects.

More people today use a terminal powered by libghostty than use Ghostty the application, by a very large multiple. And libghostty is having a much larger impact than being "just" a terminal emulator.

I'm excited to see where people take it from here.

@zeddotdev When will Starlink be available on your flights?

@steveklabnik @bpaulino0 @mitsuhiko @turborepo The rebuttal here is "But my agent will configure it!"

My rebuttal is that I *still* haven't come across a scaled Buck/Bazel configuration that isn't mistake-ridden to the point of scary, no matter how much AI was used.

[Anthony Shew @anthonyshew]

@steveklabnik @bpaulino0 @mitsuhiko @turborepo The endgame here is effectively zero-config Bazel/Buck. I'd recommend investing here. 😄
