@zeeg @gabebusto happy hour at noon on a tuesday?

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

@brian_lovin @WeAreDevs What do you like to do?

[David Cramer @zeeg]

the truth

@gabriel_zucman I’m no billionaire, but dry tax is always stupid. If you inherit a house from your parents passing and need to pay 20% of the value in cash, thats dumb. If you own a home and the value goes up, you shouldn’t have to oay cash for the market difference. Stock holdings are the same.

@steipete I gave up pretty quickly when I couldnt drag a file into it

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

Um, my agent started writing perl scripts to solve problems. All of a sudden I trust it's judgement less.

@ttaylorr_b I have wanted to do Amarillo by Morning with him for a decade.

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

Asked ChatGPT to create a 90s country music album cover for me as a joke, but now that I see it I'm thinking I really should probably record this and go on tour.

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

@ttaylorr_b Only if it’s a duet with peff

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

@tlberglund @swimflythrive omg, whatcha got? I hope its a 97 Dodge Ram. Or at least an F150

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

@austinspires Thats a pretty good idea. It will be vinyl 180g only, but I’ll throw two of em in there…

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

@tlberglund @swimflythrive Can you legally live in CO and have a hunting license and not like country music?

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

@OliverJAsh you're right. "Git er done" is being added.

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

@appfactory Yaaasssss

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

@gitbutler @digicert lol, speaking of which, what kind of an insane hustle is this DUNS bullshit? 7 business days to update a phone number in what must presumably be a SQL database? What is the logic in how Windows thinks it provides security for signed executables this way?

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

The @gitbutler windows build is unfortunately broken now due to @digicert revoking our code signing cert.

As a fun game, see if you can tell which of the 40 emails I've gotten in the last few months are webinar spam versus the single one that tells me they will cripple us?

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

@mitsuhiko Its fun, I did a talk, starting 3 years ago (ai stone age) talking about where ai is going and ai specific languages.

Looking back at it, its not a bad talk…

Happy to have you helping to start @gitbutler tho 😂

MachinenVM works on macOS (HVF) and Linux (KVM), and is written in Zig, with a TypeScript API and a CLI.

It boots a debian machine in a few 100ms. I think it's at 200ms right now.

You can control the entire machine via TypeScript.

You can snapshot a machine on macOS, and restore it on Linux, and vice-versa.

You can do live mounts from host-to-guest, or static mounts that produce a .img file, you can share ports... this is your microvm

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

@lstoll JJ Con will be there too. A lot of the same people as it turns out 😂

[Scott Chacon @chacon]

Love the fun TUI-inspired Git Merge 2026 website.
