simply, more OSS projects should DO THIS.
OSS is a long playing game, if not forever. but we are people behind those projects, and we need good rest and balance to keep things sustainable. I am super happy to see this move and looking forward to see how it could change how OSS works for all of us.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it. I've regularly got hundreds of tabs open. What I really need is a way to organize the information and bookmarks just ain't it.
This is exactly one of the findings of the study* on tabbed browsing I did ~15 yrs ago — tab usage is bimodal. Funny to see that it (anecdotally at least) still holds up!

what you want is an MCP. oh wait have you tried installing a skill? no you don't have an agents,md file. actually what you want is a plugin. have you tried agent orchestration? you have gotta try hooks.

Generating code was never the goal. The goal was to solve problems. I tried my best to avoid writing code by leveraging existing solutions or reframing the problem.
Writing code was always a last resort and a liability. If I was going to write code, then I was going to do it right.

It's wild to me that agentic coding with things like Claude or Copilot CLIs is what it took for people to finally start investing in tmux.

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary.
It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

This writing by @stuffwithstuff.com puts to words the feelings I've wrestled with for a while with respect to generative AI. It highlights the tension between its use at work and in my personal life. It's hard to deny its utility in the former and I crave meaning in the latter that it can't give.

Here’s one of my top rules for applications—native, web, you name it—: Do. not. intercept. normal OS-level application shortcuts. Don’t do it!
Today’s example: a web app that has overridden ⌘[ to toggle the navigation sidebar. Folks, no: that is for “navigate back”! Hijacking it is terrible!

- This brings rustls by default, replacing native-tls. 🦀
- Some feature and method cleanup.
- But easy to upgrade for most everyone.

Anyone know someone at @1password.bsky.social who could help explain why having their Firefox extension enabled breaks syntax highlighting on my blog? Best I can tell is it might be the inclusion of prism.js leaking. 🤔
