Andrey Nering

After nearly 3 years of working together on @taskfile.dev, I finally got to meet @andreynering.bsky.social for the first time this week at #golab2025 in Florence, Italy.

Looking forward to many more years of collaboration!

This only happens to you once

- animations
- window quake support
- etc

Calling all Golang + Wasm enthusiasts! I’ve been building something in this space and would love your ideas or help with testing. DM me or reply here if you’re interested.

It's also quite a funny coincidence that testcontainers.com and @taskfile.dev have almost identical logos 😅

How did I live without testcontainers.com until now?

Meet Boo Code Editor

1. Movementation based on lexical
2. Movementation based on combo system (more details soon)
3. Introduces a replacement for LSP architecture
4. Editing predict

Fast, powerful and offline first.

The perfect editor combo:
* Terminal: Helix helix-editor.com
* GUI: Zed zed.dev
I like how both have so much in common. They are like different UI implementations for the same concepts.

Release v3.18.0 · go-testfixtures/testfixtures In this release, we drastically reduced the number of dependencies of the library. We refactored the tests into a separate Go module, and means we don't need to import the SQL drivers on the main g...

A new release of testfixtures has landed today with something we wanted to do for a long time!

Tests were refactored into a separate Go module, and with this we reduced the number of dependencies on the main `go.mod` from several to only two!

A new version of our VSCode extension was released with nice new features and bug fixes.

It seems to exist for a long time, but for some reason I never heard about it or if I heard I never gave it much attention.

Microsoft should probably advertise it better.

To be honest, many of these tools should have been native Windows tools.

GitHub - microsoft/PowerToys: Windows system utilities to maximize productivity Windows system utilities to maximize productivity. Contribute to microsoft/PowerToys development by creating an account on GitHub.

I discovered that PowerToys for Windows is a thing.

* Spotlight-like search with Alt+Space;
* Caffeine-like app to prevent the PC from sleeping;
* Copy & paste utilities;
* etc.

It adds many of the nice things that we like on macOS. I liked it!

What if Bubble Tea spoke every language?
Raphael Amorim shares how Charm.sh tools are being ported beyond Go — and what it takes to keep the dev experience intact.

GPT-5 is out and Crush already has it. Just open your terminal and go, no update needed. Have fun! #GPT-5

$HOME is in the terminal. Now your new coding bestie is available in whatever terminal emulator you use. Crush is a high performance, agentic coding tool built with Charm libraries and the quirky, playful aesthetic that you know and love.

This is just the beginning, too.

Task v3.44.0 was just released!

It includes some small enhancements and many bug fixes. In particular, it fixes some important regressions on the watcher.

Proposal: Support inline "if" statement syntax · Issue #32860 · golang/go This is a brainstorming idea that came from #32825 (comment). To be honest, I'm not sure if a agree with my own proposal, since it goes against some Go conventions, which disallow one-line-ifs (#27...

`try` looks a bit magic. I proposed tweaking the `if` statement at the time:

return err if err != nil

Or simply:

if err != nil { return err }

(allow ifs without indentation)

I wonder why Go programmers don’t engage in large public discussions on how obtuse other languages are.

Maybe they’re too busy shipping real world code to production 🤔

I've been giving @zed.dev a try, and liking it so far.

It has in common with Helix that it's mostly zero config. It has native support to some languages (like Go), so you don't even need to install extensions most of the time.

Also, it is extremely fast!

Current state after only 4 days out 😭

This has been an *awesome* ongoing collab with the @github.com CLI team. I’m most proud of the fact that, together with, we managed to crush accessibility on the CLI 🤘

While you've all been loving Huh, your favourite library for terminal forms, you might not know that it was actually built in collaboration with @github.com. As of today it's officially used for the GitHub CLI! Check out their blog post linked below 💝

While we can't all be @andreynering.bsky.social, we can create high quality PRs. 💝 Here's what we love about his PR style... (and how to create these high quality photos of source code and terminal outputs)

We've heard that some people dislike Taskfiles because they hate YAML...

To please everyone, we're happy to announce that we're going to support XML soon! 🤩✨

Stay tuned!

I just discovered @taskfile.dev today - where have you been??? - and I've replaced my entire build pipeline with it and ... well ... it's just been a while since I've been amazed and just plain-old-happy with a tool 😍 - i'm sure ill find dark corners later, but right now 🌈
