Liquid Glass is pretty awesome. They'll likely fix the accessibility and UX issues quickly too.

One of my favorite things about programming is having full-on conversations in the codebase.

Came back to the US and disabled airplane mode for the first time in 2 weeks. No more than 48 hours later: 3 missed spam calls in a 3 hour span.

I recently had the privilege of joining the Never Rewrite podcast to talk about SI's "new engine" rewrite in 2023-2024. It was a blast. If you love Rust, graphs, and backend service architecture, then this is a great one to check out! youtube.com/watch?v=xWaD...

At the end of the day, I come back to Iosevka. Just such a good font.

I can confirm scales are worth it

Every time I try to learn something deep in the nixpkgs stack, I am simultaneously extremely thankful that we have folks like github.com/ryantm holding everything together and considering dropping everything to make Nix 2.0 to prevent (further?) descent into madness.

The portability of Dockerfiles is interesting. On one hand, if you want to drive all the versions through a build graph, you'd likely move all the tags elsewhere. On the other hand, they no longer become buildable without your build system covering every base.

For Iosevka users looking to shaking it up, I've been using Commit Mono and have been loving it. commitmono.com

I hope we see more of this. AGPL is a good choice for them from an outside POV.

I ate greasy airport Five Guys at 11am while drinking a hot coffee after eating a donut right before getting on a plane. Top 5 worst decision of all time.

Swapped the Cherry MX Brown stock switches in my Ergodox EZ keyboard to Chery MX Silent Red switches. Can definitely recommend them! They feel great and are a lot quieter, which was the goal.

One thing I'm starting to lean towards more and more with tackling Rust build times is the layout of the build graph. There's only so much crate break-up and caching you can do if invalidating the cache still results in building a big ass crate.

Performed a massive refactor related to our build system using Claude Code for like ~$3.90. I used to do that size of refactor by hand. These LLM-backed tools may not solve everything, but when they're operating in their sweet spots, you can't imagine going back.

What is the best code review tool for reviewing GitHub PRs? I am willing to pay.

Trying a co-working space for the first time after rolling into one walking back from a coffee shop. I dig it. Brought the Ergodox and a Roost stand and it’s working well.

Been using Iosevka for years and looking for a shake-up! Considering the following... - Monaspace - Lettra Mono - Berkeley Mono I like the thin nature of Iosevka, so something similar would be great. Anyone have recently released fonts they love for programming?

Special guest @matthewsanabria.dev from @oxide.computer at demos today! 🤯 Matthew drove the Oxide API with SI in the past via fetch calls, but this demo showcases dynamic imports via deno to use the official Oxide npm package for all the API calls. More to come 🚀 youtu.be/pHEY3re6YkM?...
