I'm so fucking tired. Just so, so tired.

I keep finding all these new & exciting tools and services. Historical me would be delighted and dig into them and build some mental context about where they sit in the ecosystem. There are *so* *many* now. It's cool, but also so very exhausting. Too much of a good thing?

Ahh, claude code doesn't let you override tool call behavior on PreToolUse. That's too bad.

(Hopefully) fix publishing by pinning node version; refactor publishing script by just-be-dev · Pull Request #189 · just-be-dev/just-be.dev So there's a relatively big refactor of the publishing script here that I just did as a way to add more tests. The biggest impact I think this PR will have is adding node to the mise.toml. As I...

Don't be me: make sure you're running a new enough version of the NPM CLI or it'll fail. See github.com/just-be-dev/...

Was trying to publish some NPM packages for the first time in a while and wooo... the DX there definitely still needs a lot of love. JSR is *so* easy, heck, they'll write the publish action for you.

Shortcuts Quick links for finding Bombshell online.

All my projects tend to have the same redirects

/chat -> discord
/on/:platform -> other social
/gh/:repo -> repos

Put together a lil @bomb.sh page to surface these!

That's not to say I don't *plan* up front (regardless of whether I'm using an agent or not). It's fairly common to learn during the process though. I still learn during the process with agents, but the learnings can sometimes be delayed.

When I'm working on a difficult piece of software there are all these moments of introspection dredged up by the friction that make me continually question if it's the right way to do things or the appropriate direction. Coding agents remove a lot of that. It's easier to go the wrong way longer.

Love @astro.build, hands down my favorite metaframework. Glad to see they're joining @cloudflare.social, I think that's a great fit.

Heya friends! It's been a minute! sideprojectsaturday.com is happening tomorrow! If you're around NYC and need something to do Saturday morning, you should come out!

The nice thing about AI is that I can ask it any question, no matter how stupid and feel fine about it. The bad thing about AI is now anytime I ask a human an informational question I feel bad about wasting their time.

I'm just out here doin' the best I can

I bought some open ear head phones made for running and have been just playing ocean sounds at work in the morning. Kinda helps ground me while also not blocking folks out.

GitHub - fkettelhoit/kombucha: Minimal & malleable language for symbiotic end-user programming Minimal & malleable language for symbiotic end-user programming - fkettelhoit/kombucha

@recurse.com's local host last night was awesome. Great talks, wonderful company. Frederic Kettelhoit's Komucha lang (github.com/fkettelhoit/...) was particularly inspirational. Love me a lang with an effect system.

Yo, side project saturday is happening again this weekend: sideprojectsaturday.com/rsvp

As I reflect on this year, I'm grateful for all the wonderful people whose paths I've intersected with. My life is better for knowing each of you.

GitHub - coder/ghostty-web: Web terminal built on Ghostty Web terminal built on Ghostty. Contribute to coder/ghostty-web development by creating an account on GitHub.

This is cool: github.com/coder/ghostt.... The stated goal is to replace xterm.js using ghostty's vt-ghostty lib compiled to WASM.

Yo. That time again: sideprojectsaturday.com

Friends, I am *tired*.

Side project Saturday is tomorrow:

sideprojectsaturday.com

Howdy folks. The weekend will be here before you know it: sideprojectsaturday.com. Come join me this Saturday in downtown Brooklyn for some side project hackin'.

Side project Saturday is happening in a few hours. If you’re in NYC and want some time to hack on a side project, join us!

sideprojectsaturday.com

Bout that time again: sideprojectsaturday.com. You know what to do. See you there?

if you want to try typelex.org in your project, i think it's ready for initial testing and feedback. it's basically "coffeescript for lexicons", for better or worse. feel free to file issues on @tangled.org: tangled.org/@danabra.mov...

thanks!

Will data centers crash the economy? This time let's think about a financial crisis before it happens.

This was called out in the episode and is another good read: www.noahpinion.blog/p/will-data-...

Something that was mentioned in the podcast was how datacenter energy market pressure would likely cause a wave of NIMBYism when it comes to new datacenter placement and ultimately drive a new wave of outsourcing. I wonder what that means long term.

Another thought... given AI investment is representing ~50% of GDP growth I think it's beyond likely that this is masking an overall ailing economy. The current administration's policies are broadly detrimental to growth and without this boom driving I suspect the overall outlook is bleak.

This was such a good listen, thanks! I didn't really think about the fact that GPUs deprecate at such a relatively fast rate. With ~60% of the investment in new data centers being GPU acquisition AND firms using GPUs as collateral for significant amounts of debt... that seems bad.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...
