I had forgotten where I picked this up, I know I did not come up with it, and I found it!

It seems to have originated in the .NET era:

And CodingHorror had also a nice post on it:

I wrote a little tool that I believe has the potential to replace Homebrew for most devs.

👶 Check it out: luca.tools

Say hello to Luca - a lightweight decentralised tool manager for macOS to manage project-specific tool environments.

Do you have the RC or the prod build? I haven’t got any issues with the latest on iPhone 13 Pro. Note: I’ve never installed Beta/RC.

I get this question a lot. So I finally sat down and tried to really think about it.

When should you use an actor?

So predictable that we’ll see an explosion of digital products selling “ideas for million dollar businesses” that you can “just vibe code quickly”.

Basically: “buy my digital product for $500, spend $1,500 on Lovable / Claude Code and become a millionaire.”

Another hype train

LLMs … are “forcing us to consider what it means to program with non-deterministic tools”. But we need to look at the elephant 🐘in the room. Do we really need to burn a lot of energy⚡️to get a non-deterministic🪃 result when we can have a cheaper deterministic🏹 solution?
