skills are the new shell scripts

my website has more visits from claudebot than humans

It's getting much better I feel like 😄 a lot of AI discourse seems to be happening here

I discovered I wrote a post on medium in 2017 about switching to Linux, so I moved it back to my blog: andreapivetta.com/posts/you-sh...

I think 2017 me would be pretty disappointed on how things turned out 😅

did you know there's a free version of age of empires 3 on steam

And I moved my domain from route53 to infomaniak.net

The most annoying thing is that they don't support CNAME records for the top level domain so I now have to redirect to a www. path which looks quite bad but I can survive

bunny.net - The Global Edge Platform that truly Hops Hop on bunny.net and speed up your web presence with the next-generation Content Delivery Service (CDN), Edge Storage, and Optimization Services at any scale.

I recently moved to bunny.net for my very trivial S3-like static website.

Mistral's vibe was able to one shot a script to sync my static files to it with their library, that's basically all I could test so far 😅

Mistral’s competitiveness is now as strategically vital to Europe as its oil supply

Not sure I'd call it a quirk though, using text for configs seems very much intentional to me as it's a far better UX for humans (who know what they are doing) too.

I kept windows on my thinkpad for years to play mtg arena once a month.

Turns out you can install mtg arena from steam on linux with 0 problems now

People are delusional

How unusual 😅 Congrats!!

(I actually wrote about how this makes me personally feel a couple of days ago andreapivetta.com/posts/someth...)

I’m not judging these tools’ quality or side effects. They **do** make me extremely more productive, so using them is kind of mandatory.

I am talking about programming as something I did for fun that just happened to put food on the table. The 'for fun' part is gone. Soon the 'for money' as well.

I agree almost completely except in the very last sentence. I loved figuring out something hard, solving things at the limit of my abilities.

The fun is gone.

everyday i see one more story about someone else switching to linux? So I think so 😅

I gave in to the hype and installed Linux

I remember a few years ago I was listening to an inteview of Guido Van Rossum on the future of programming when he was saying that LLMs are just a tool that allows you not to have to write the boring obvious function implementations.

LOL

Glad I'm not the only one

Thank you.

I was feeling particularly bad after coming home from work today, turns out I have a blog now andreapivetta.com/posts/someth...

Nono of course not 😁

The first half of Shippuden is by far the best part of Naruto imo

I also think a lot of discussion moved to Github issues.

But isn't it also normal that fewer questions get asked over time simply because fewer unanswered questions exist? Even as languages / libriaries / frameworks evolve, it's often existing answeres that get updated rather than new question asked.

maybe one day I'll sleep again

But Bending Spoons (Italian) bought Vimeo so Vimeo is European now 😁 vimeo.com/press/media-...

A screenshot of a C program compiled to WASM and then run through Epsilon to generate a QR Code

I've added WASI support to github.com/ziggy42/epsi..., so I can now compile my C qr code generator github.com/ziggy42/QRen... to WASM and run it in Epsilon with 0 code changes 😭

Is it just me or cli tools on WIndows take 15 minutes to start?
