Tip: if you want an issue solved without doing the work yourself, don't use an accusatory tone when reporting it. And don't continue to do so when a response is provided pointing you in the direction to solve it.

🫠 Feels bad to give up on fixing a bug in your code at the end of the day.

☕ Feels great to solve it in 30 seconds the next morning.

Finally sharing what I’ve been building for almost a year now! 🐢✨

Atuin Desktop: runbooks that run

It’s open source and in open beta now 🥰

Built for engineers who need repeatable, reliable workflows. No more copy-pasting from slack or outdated docs

Just wait for “service pack 2 deepseek edition”

"Atuin solved all my problems with history"

"It really is a game changer for working on the console and I can't recommend it enough"

For years I just wanted to make something that people used, and I'm super happy to have done so ❤️

#TheTraitors

From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Ps. Thanks to @wezfurlong.bsky.social for making this possible

Started using #wezterm `user-var-changed` to send local notifications and pipeline output to local clipboard (even from ssh to codespace) and it's sooo good ✨

Love the experiment - What historical data do they have on each stock?

A screenshot of my Atuin wrapped, showing some fun stats about my command history in the style of "spotify wrapped"

Atuin v18.4 is out now!

Including `atuin wrapped`, your year in shell history 🐢

thanks @daveeddy.com for the suggestion!

Merry Christmas! #landrover

For my flounder mode crew #floundermode here's how I measure the company's workload

Level 1: people are idle
Level 2: product dev is at full pace
Level 3: operational needs are clobbering product dev
Level 4: operational needs are clobbering operational needs

My work here is done

GoReleaser - Announcing GoReleaser v2.5 - multi languages, 9th anniversary edition Release engineering, simplified.

GoReleaser v2.5 with #rust and #zig support is out!

#cloud-init has 217mb of dependencies when installed with #apt 🤯

The box didn't have python, so a lot of this is python bits.

Makes you realise why folks like single binary install of #go and #rust tooling, full framework install is pretty killer.

TIL: openvmm has a disk storage provider implemented as #sqlite db with a “sectors” table (for testing) github.com/microsoft/op...

Wouldn’t say love, that’s a high bar.

I would say that I’m way happier in a large ruby codebase with sorbet vs without it.

It’s not without its pain, think some of that stems from it being a retrofitted type system outside of the language. Given that constrain, imo it’s impressive achievement.

Worked on a large ruby codebase with 10+year history. Adding sorbet was a big win for reducing incidents and better dev ex (has some downsides and pain points but for me well worth it overall)

Many rams (64gb)

How many services is too many to host in your #homelab? Asking for a friend.

Shout out to #uptime-kuma for being great.

Ever wanted more info about why your #ruby #graphql server is responding slowly to a query?

I blogged about how to use StackProf and SpeedScope to find out (and how this helped me shave 53% time off some of our queries 🚀)

blog.gripdev.xyz/2024/10/08/r...

#rubyonrails #speedscope #stackprof

Using #powershell for the first time in ages and turns out I still don't hate it.

(although caml 🐪 case for command line params is breaking my brain a bit🤯)

Can you solve this riddle about random gatherings?

And if you solved it the long way, can you find the shortcut?

I made a giant javascript powered flipdisc display for my office with my husband. Here is a little bit about flipdisc displays, and how to make your own! - a thread.

Introduction - Model Context Protocol Get started with the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Reading the new Model Context Protocol from #anthropic in their Desktop app.

It really reminds me of how Language Server Protocol enables VSCode, wonder if that was an inspiration for it?

Here’s an example

TIL: With uv you can declare a #python scripts package dependencies inline and when you ‘uv run’ it’ll install them automagically.
