LabCraft is an AI-mentored learning platform. It is NOT a chatbot! Instead, it consists of course curriculum and an instrumented playground where learners can safely practice what …

Didn't realize that was a thing. Was using the keyboard the whole time. Took a few tries to figure out how to strafe... and then just kept the spacebar pressed the whole time, and …

+100 for technical chops, -100 for usability. +10 for the trip down memory lane, and the self-realization that I now suck at playing video games.

Pretty cool. Have been looking for something like this for a while. Thanks for building it. Just sent you a PR for some typos I found while running through an example.

I can relate to a lot of what you've said here. I've built a similar super-generalist profile in software engineering and have spent the last decade in startups. Compared to my pee…

I understand and empathize with the sentiment here. Interviews have a skewed power-dynamic. A handful of people, or sometimes even a single person, can make or break your chances a…

I'm curious about the legality of such practices. Your employer needs to authorize what you do on your own time and dime? What country/state are you located in?

So fucking good it felt like the 90s again. :)

This is a bandaid that avoids solving the harder problem of trust/spam. It is such design patterns that make a fundamentally open/federated protocol more centralized, exacerbating …

About time this happened. I experienced this with the ACLU, of all the entities out there using this dark pattern. Enable subscriptions online to donate to the ACLU, but if you cha…

Could not agree more. I've learned more about build systems and different compilers by reading through Nix code than any other endeavor in the past.

Not just that. The ability to enter a sandboxed shell environment, play around with as many packages as you can get your hands on, and then exit back to my clean machine is my abso…

Complexity exists and is going to get worse with time. The root cause is the prevalent software development paradigm: millions of developers/teams working simultaneously on differe…

I could not agree more. Most people, IMO, are workflow junkies! It doesn't matter how good/bad/ugly the tool is; if it works, it stays forever! And git is a perfect example of a to…

Nix operates at the cusp of some of the most complex and obscure parts of the technology stack: operating systems, compiler toolchains, and package managers. These inherently compl…

Not in any usable form. But I do intend to blog about it once I clean it up.

Congrats on your journey out of the tarpit! :)

Love to see more adoption of Nix and NixOS. I started my Nix journey a little over a year ago, and I regret not having switched sooner. A package-manager that also ships an operati…

Obligatory "Bitcoin would solve this!" post. :)

True. It is sad that market forces may and likely will have the opposite of the intended effect. Personally, I like the idea of having more options to have healthier competition in…

It is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it does make it harder for newer businesses to enter the space. However, from what I have been able to piece together, the real culprit…
