    Sad for the creators of the world. I enjoy the benefits of AI, but I hate if for creative individuals like @justalever. We (developers) were all sold a promise years ago of technol…

    I have tried both Django and Rails for this, and honestly, very surprisingly, Rails did much better, at least with Claude Code. This is for a rewrite of an old .net application. Cl…

    The elapsed time from burning the ISO to productive development environment is impressive. Also, folks worry so much about customizing it, but you don't have to. And hyprland and O…

    For me, it's not about ricing. I find Omarchy to be an incredibly productive setup, from the launchers for webapps to the focus on TUIs. I'm conflicted about the drama and still le…

    As a long-time Linux full time user, I begrudgingly switched to a mac for company reasons around a decade ago. I've lost a little bit of light in my life ever since, and was consta…
