Where are people buying domains from these days? I saw @vercel.com just redid their domain buying workflow, but wasn't seeing anything about WHOIS privacy protection.

Some projects I've lead:
- Complete normalization of all tables and fields in a MySQL database
- Migrated a production database from MySQL to PostgreSQL (leading to an ETL pipeline that ran 50% faster)
- Designed database schemas for multiple data collection systems supporting federal reporting

Hi everyone! I really hoped I'd never have to make a post like this, but I have been laid off.

I'm open to a remote or in-person role and I'm willing to relocate.

I have experience across the data stack and also as a back-end engineer

For some reason, I find myself switching between Zed's built in agent tooling and opencode.ai in the terminal.

The big reason I like Zed's AI tooling is being able to individually Accept and Reject code blocks

What are we actually expecting from this open model at this point? A SOTA model you could host locally? A GPT4 level model?

The thing I'd be most interested in would be them giving us some insight in their training data.

I wonder if this will force out a lot of older farmers, and move us to more corporately owned farms that have larger acreages and less employees

The Pragmatic Engineer 2025 Survey results are out!

In it:

- Most loved (and hated) tools
- Most-used AI tools
- IDEs and terminals
- Version control, CI/CD

Devs LOVE VS Code, JetBrains IDEs and... Cursor! (and tend to hate JIRA)

Read it here: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/the-pragma...

How are you configuring that for Claude Code? I'd be interested in seeing if I can get a PR in OpenCode to allow that

opencode The AI coding agent built for the terminal.

Have you thought of also integrating with OpenCode? opencode.ai. I personally have switched over to using it over ClaudeCode

I use @lmstudio-ai.bsky.social since it can use MLX as the backend without any tweaking

Reducing the Cognitive Load with TODOs - Thomas' Blog Thomas' Blog

I wrote a quick little blog post about using TODOs in your code to reduce the cognitive load while working on large projects.

Check it out: lazarust.github.io/2025/05/13/r...

Most people are using AI to code the wrong way (as Torsten put it "Copilot-style completions). Tab completions are just a much better experience and pushes the LLM out of the way unless it's actually doing something useful.

Great read from Thorsten!

Was there a reason you chose Qwen2.5-Coder, or was it just the fastest/simplest to get working?

I'd be interested in having it use multiple models and comparing their outputs.

stinking spring forward

if we're going to keep up w/ these shenanigans we should at least move it to so we lose a monday hour instead of the weekend's

I've used Ollama and then the command line to `cat` a bunch of markdown files into a prompt and found some relative success with it.

It was not as nice as I would've wanted it to be, though, and felt a little clunky

To the Rust and ML enthusiasts: I'm sharing the first feature-complete (sort of) version of mlx-rs, a new crate providing idiomatic Rust bindings for MLX! Now you can harness the power of MLX while writing Rust code ๐Ÿš€
