    Relatedly, I think that success in post-AI business will be about doing more with the same or more people, not the same with less. Like you say, the AI part reduces the value and i…

    I took the plunge, I loved my RM2 but about a year ago I fell down stairs and landed on it. I’ve ordered refurbed Paper Pro and Move. Things that excited me about the device: - wit…

    I’m one of main devs of GitHub MCP (opinions my own) and I’ve really enjoyed your talks on the subject. I hope we can chat in-person some time. I am personally very happy for our G…

    Making publication easy on social media has certainly had an impact on public speech, but private platforms do not offer free speech by design. Naomi Klein went into this in No Log…

    Full disclosure, I work for GitHub, but push protection from Secret Scanning is awesome for this because your nearly leaked secret doesn’t make it to the remote, and it gives you i…

    Yep, I’ve very much discovered and confirmed this behaviour independently, I was so shocked to learn that it was a known issue. I know it’s silly but it helped me with imposter syn…

    In the worst case you can copy paste a patch into a new local file in the repo and then apply it with git from there. I’ve had somebody slack me patches before and it is not a big …
