Neovim.

What a novel thought: a local only tool that doesn’t shill out to servers for basic workflows, plugins all in lua that you can easily audit, isn’t a service in itself.

Beautiful.

Cursor is not an code editor anymore.
Zed language servers and agents crash all the time.
JetBrains is too slow and agents crash all the time.
Installing a theme from VS Code store can potentially infect your computer with malware.

Who will fix this?

PICARD: Data, shields up

DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS

DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't

kubernetes on s3

[LaurieWired @lauriewired]

@kayleecodez hate to say it, but everyone that rejects kubernetes inevitably ends up recreating it from first principles lol

[John McBride @johncodes]

step 1) let AI spend get wildly out of control.
step 2) no meaningful revenue growth.
step 3) lay off ~20% of staff.
step 4) stock tumbles after earnings.
step 5) ? ? ?
step 6) profit.

Real ones know to lock homebrew the f down with nix-homebrew - it’s honestly a shame a whole class of software ONLY ships to homebrew

[cts🌸 @gf_256]

homebrew is a supply chain disaster waiting to happen

[John McBride @johncodes]

@QuinnyPig Yes. And, from whispering I’ve heard, guess who was outsized impacted by recent layoffs - very convinent to layoff staff who still have ~95% of their vest left.

[John McBride @johncodes]

Another day, another 🔥

@grhmc @QuinnyPig Y’all should have a snow cone machine ❄️

The CachyOS “cachy-chroot” util is such a good send - boot from live iso, one simple command to chroot into a mount, one update command, and fixed! What a time to be alive

After dragging my feet for 4 years, proud to present Ekala's Nix book. Wanted to give the Nix community an equivalent of the rust-lang book which is a canonical entry point into the ecosystem.

🔥 it’s all fun and games dunking on GitHub until you realize the absolute ridiculous scale they are operating at

[Zach @zach_dev1]

love that people are trying to disrupt github. please be sure to include performance testing across billions of requests so we trust it won’t happen to you as well 🙏
