Every 50k blocks (almost 1 year) the Libbitcoin team bumps up its sync benchmark. Running on the same (now 10 yo) hardware we work to keep the benchmark milestone sync under 1 hour. After spending the last week implementing a deferred optimization... 950,000 blocks in 56.2 mins!
Hard work pays off. Rendezvous now has a trophy case. Some of you are sitting on a bug it would've caught -- you just haven't run it yet. First trophy inside.

Thanks @RaphaStacks for finding and reporting it.
Open source only survives when people defend it, and with 1,200+ forks that have already appeared after threats over Bambu Lab-related AGPL code, what's stopping you from creating your own fork?
The future of digital ownership depends on people refusing to back down. So get involved and fight for digital ownership.

Bambu Lab 3D printers: never again.
They're breaking the open source social contract (for the nth time...), and I'm past hoping they'll amend their ways.

It's been 3 months since the 100x vibers started 100x vibin'! So, post your 25-years-of-work-equivalent project here, so we can signal boost and everyone can celebrate the Life's Work that you did in 3 months. Looking forward to it, Let's Go!!!
Together for Cancer Fighters ❤️👊🏻
At 45 million, I shaved my head. At 50 million - we’re setting up an unofficial rematch with @gloverteixeira.
We’re proving that the real strength lies in people. Łatwogang thank you for moving so many hearts into action. This is where the magic happens.

I'm sorry but ever since the move to React from there old stack its nothing but stuff like this. Orders of magnitude from a couple of guys with no backing. Makes me really sad.

If you don't really know what you're doing, you can have AI build things for you that you couldn't otherwise do yourself.
And that can feel like an equalizer.
Like you're suddenly at the same level as the pros.
But it's not an equalizer.
It's a multiplier.
When you have a high level of mastery, these tools scale your expertise.
When you don't... well, it does level you up, but not nearly as much as it levels up people who actually know what they're doing.
The distance between you and them actually increases.
It takes you from a 1 to 10, it takes them from 10 to 100. The distance goes from 9 to 90.
Because multipliers don't just multiply your level, they also multiply the distance between levels.

After 3 years, 47 releases, Ark VCS has finally reached 1.0! 🎉

It's a big release, with features that I've never seen to any version control system out of the box, like built-in changelist build status.
If you're tired of #perforce and #git, get it from https://t.co/u2zs8UNDfP!

Deleting code is the best kind of engineering. Period.
Simplicity > Lines of code.
While the whole world of vibe coders brags about pushing tens of thousands of LOC a day, I'm actually happier when my codebase shrinks every now and then, usually when I spot repeating patterns and extract reusable code into a better architecture.
File Pilot is only a little above 100k LOC right now, which I already consider a lot. And I've been working on it for 4 years straight. So when I see people here talking about how they push thousands of LOC a day, I'm like... there is no way in the world you understand that code and all the implications of all the pieces that have to communicate with each other.
You're gonna lock yourself so fast, into a place of such complexity that not even AI will be able to help. And for what? Speed? In generating mediocre junk code.
You only value your time. I value my users time.
We're not the same.
