Programming was deeply satisfying work to me. Work for hours/days before getting the payoff of the code working well on your machine. I’m feeling so much friction now to open the editor and do this kind of task by hand, but also increasingly depressed with the nature of work in an AI assisted dev workflow. Back and forth prompting seems to eat at my soul. Need to find a balance that brings back some of the toil.
We just shipped something wild:
Accent Understanding 🚀
It helps you understand accented English in real time.
On the listener side.
No “can you repeat that?”
No extra effort for the speaker.

I wrote about Workflows in DynamoLens: chain Query/Scan/PartiQL steps, pass values forward, save + re-run, and share with your on-call/team (goodbye copy/paste glue code).

I published a short Article on a DynamoDB pain I keep seeing: the “incident scripts” folder that gets rewritten every time.
Workflows in DynamoLens are my attempt to make those repeatable + shareable.

I wouldn’t use Omarchy myself, after years with Linux I know exactly what I want from my system and how I like to configure it.
But I find the backlash from some Linux people incredibly annoying. If something like Omarchy looks cool and gets more people to try Linux, that’s a good thing.
Most people come to Linux for the “wrong” reasons anyway, their old PC can’t handle Windows anymore, they saw a hacking tutorial and installed Kali, or they met some neckbeard sysadmin who seemed cool. That’s how the cycle starts.
They’ll break things, they’ll do unoptimized setups, and they’ll make dumb mistakes. But that’s part of the journey. Eventually, they’ll understand what they actually want from their system and that Linux gives them the freedom to shape their computer into exactly that.
That’s the beauty of it. If @dhh’s Omarchy helps more people reach that point, I’m all for it.
@hiddnest Sure, the landing page needs refinement.
The real concern is the reliance on fabricated drama to drive attention. That approach ages poorly in this industry. It gets impressions, but it costs trust and trust is the one thing you can’t manufacture
funny story: 8 months ago, when @im_roy_lee was looking for a way to capture system audio, we considered sharing tech but decided not to.
wild how that choice changed everything - they became the notetaker, we became the live sales coaching tool with super low latency.
