Claude completely forgot about the JS ecosystem when implementing their worktree support

it's a bit broken, and I dare say the default behavior should change

Example:

I'm glad things are finally happening, but omg 🙄 I hate marketing

10 years ago:

Dev: We need to do X because it helps our coworkers understand things better
Execs: no, ship features

Today:

Dev: We need to X because it helps AI understand things better
Execs: do it yesterday

do you have one and would be willing to contribute a test run to the repo?

everything

APFS is just really bad for devs and because so many devs use MacOS, they don't know how fast the disks could be.

git clean should be near instant, for example -- on large projects it is not

Ok, so I guess the M5s are only available for preorder?

Anyone at Apple or known anyone Apple who already has an M5?

They claim 2x speed boost in disk perf.... and I want proof. lol
2x is still terrible compared to Ubuntu running ON MacOS tho lol

tyty

PSA: The MacBook Neo doesn’t work with the new Studio Display from Apple

What are they doing

Yup, every machine is a little different

GitHub - NullVoxPopuli/disk-perf-git-and-pnpm: Stress test for parallel disk i/o using git and pnpm Stress test for parallel disk i/o using git and pnpm - NullVoxPopuli/disk-perf-git-and-pnpm

Anyone with an M5 mac want to contribute some disk benchmarks? <3

Repo and instructions here: github.com/NullVoxPo...

It tests creating many node_modules in a monorepo with shared-workspace-lockfile=false, which has absolutely crippled macOS devices so far

Netlify is sponsoring npmx It’s more important than ever that companies come together across competitive boundaries to sponsor and support the open ecosystem that lifts all boats.

Netlify is sponsoring npmx.dev, a fast, modern browser for the npm registry.

Netlify’s take: as AI expands who can build software, we have to keep investing in the open source infrastructure that makes the ecosystem work.

Alpha release: npmx.dev/blog/alpha-r...

Announcing npmx: a fast, modern browser for the npm registry Today we're releasing the alpha of npmx.dev – a fast, modern browser for the npm registry, built in the open by a growing community.

npmx is now in alpha: this is our story, as told by our team and friends

idk -- people should learn their language so that they can accurately describe intent to the machines

Next @embereurope.bsky.social end of this month with talks by @nullvoxpopuli.com and @davidtaylorhq.bsky.social 🐹🤗

oh man, yes.
I live in a state where there are a bunch of cities named after french things, and I cannot stand how the locals pronounce them.

what's more obnoxious, is that locals are always right about their own stuff... so.... pronouncing words "correct" is wrong

🤔

esp the bitwise / shifting operators

I suppose an argument could be made that all the words are pronounced goofy -- even english!

I just can't with the brits and their butchering of spanish words.

Taahco.

Tortilla and pico de gallo with ell sound

Ugh

(Watching the British bake off do Mexican week)

Sounds like folks haven't internalized the syntax?

If all you know is binary do you lint against language?

Unless there's a good reason not to, pick the boring, existing solution that is already in-use at your workplace. Be considerate of your coworkers.

Don't build using "the hot new thing" just because you want to. The choices you make impact your fellow engineers.

You're a professional, act like it.

I don't want to allow falsey values tho
if something is falsey, I want `{}` in the early cases, and for the last, if '', I want a full string

See also:
??=
&&=
**=
^=
|=
&=
*=
%=
-=
>>>=
>>=
<<<=
<<=

most common: +=

AI seems to not know about the nullish operators.

Which means humans don't know about the assignment operators 😱

Lemme save you all so much typing:

what's your stack, up to dateness, and repo cleanliness like?

sorta! it's a non-AI way of making early AI-sounding text generation :p

your post here reads like a Markov chain <3
