SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS

[Jacek Galanciak @razorjack]

Achievement unlocked. I'm a real agentic engineer now.

[Jacek Galanciak @razorjack]

My version of token anxiety: right now someone's subsidizing my ability to explore ideas at nearly zero cost. I hit Claude Max limits multiple times a day. That pricing is not sustainable long-term. Ideas I'm not acting on now get a lot more expensive later.

I wrote about fifteen Ruby takes on a stepped-worker DSL: https://t.co/IPPtBlnOAL

Started as a DSL design rabbit hole. Ended as a small archaeological dig into continuations (callcc).

@juliknl Thanks! Good point about Rails reloading. Added a short note recommending readers nest them under a parent module.

Read the sign. It wasn’t part of the prompt. They’re hiding AGI from us.
Wake up, sheeple.

@simonw I feel like we need to stack these tests now

When in doubt, lean harder on Rails than you remember you can. Let's call it Railsmaxxing. I blogged about it with examples: https://t.co/td1oPPnLuw

AI startups be like …

[Jacek Galanciak @razorjack]

Imagine centering your culture and identity around the consumption of luxury gadgets made by a specific multinational corporation.

Used to be that naive, but hey, we all grow up eventually.

There are two possible explanations:

1. Apple is grossly incompetent in UI design.
2. Apple is outright hostile toward their customers.

You know "dark patterns", right? There's nothing that could possibly justify their recent actions.

It takes 15 clicks to install an app from the web using the newly proposed Apple flow. Here's the journey: 🧵1/5

@hubertlepicki That would be hilarious. Imagine conservatives getting jabbed to own the libs. And then laughing at anti-science liberals, who not only deny gender binary, but also vaccine efficacy. I had this hypothesis and this article kinda confirms it. Thanks for the link!

Annual reminder:

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” – James Clear

There’s a reason why new year’s resolutions don’t work. They focus on outcomes. Don’t do it. Focus on forming the right habits, and the habits will get you there.

@voter101 For normal use, I agree that this machine provides smooth experience. It’s fast and quiet. But there are things like homebrew that are literally 10x (if not worse) slower than apt or dnf or any other pkg manager on Linux. Doing equivalent things on Linux is incomparably faster.

My second day with M1 Pro MBP:

1. Two kernel panics already.
2. The desktop beachballed for 20-30 seconds when I took a screenshot.
3. Spotlight indexed a fresh, almost empty, machine in 1.5 WEEKS.
4. 40mins to install Xcode.
5. 1.5h to install dev packages via homebrew.

[Jacek Galanciak @razorjack]

@voter101 My colleague also had kernel panics on M1 Max. Happy to hear it works for at least some people. My setup is actually quite complex: 2 external monitors, USB hub, Thunderbolt dock, Thunderbolt audio interface, keyboard, there’s a lot of surface to break. Works fine on PC, though…

[Jacek Galanciak @razorjack]

@HDevo Yeah, that’s a great project. I’ll probably get a Mac mini M1 and use it as a NAS/home server running Asahi Linux.

Other than that, I have a beefy Ryzen 5950X build. It runs circles around M1 Pro and M1 Max, so for desktops and CPU performance I’m set 😎

[Jacek Galanciak @razorjack]

@ENDESGA @EigenLenk I switched some of my personal stuff (esp. audio) to Windows 10/11 and found it very solid, although often ugly and inconsistent. But performance was never an issue, even over time. Actually, performance was great. Even my previous iMac was better running Windows 10 than macOS…

[Jacek Galanciak @razorjack]

@EigenLenk Apple is a luxury lifestyle brand and should be treated as such. If you used your Mac like they use it in their ads, it would be a fine computer. But for power users? Nope. For development? Nope. For people needing to connect a lot of peripherals? Nope.

[Jacek Galanciak @razorjack]

So yeah, the CPU is impressive (for a laptop CPU), but who cares? The OS and its ecosystem is still bad, making the entire experience crappy. This is a really really good piece hardware and it deserves a better OS.

(The same set of development packages would require about 2 minutes to install on Fedora or Ubuntu)
