It’s been a while since I wrote a blog post, and this one matters. Ever wished you could run multiple agents in parallel without wrecking your repo? I break down how Git worktrees + Copilot CLI make that happen for me.

I finally had time to play with the new functionality @jan.ohmyposh.dev created in Oh My Posh and contributed some docs on it as well.

If you're looking for an automated way to configure your terminals, I wrote a quick blog about it:

I documented Oh My Posh's DSC support and your terminal configuration just got way easier
Stop manually configuring your prompt. Start automating it and store it in version control

I’m considering moving Oh My Posh’ MIT-license to a dual-license model:
• MIT remains for open source, personal, and academic use
• Companies using it to build commercial or closed-source products would need a subscription

Good idea or bad idea?

Oh My Posh just reached 20K GitHub stars ☆彡

Thanks to everyone who’s been part of the journey — contributors, users, and supporters alike. Your terminal just got a little more stylish.

Wild how ADHD can make you look like an extrovert your whole life… and then you realize you’re actually just an introvert with brain chaos.

Been digging into IO performance for oh-my-posh to optimize session & device cache reads. Swapped out unnecessary boxing with gob encoding for a nice runtime boost. But discovering memory-mapped files on Windows? Total game-changer.

Tried caching the @ohmyposh.dev config as encoded gob data instead of re-reading it every prompt.
Result? At least 4x faster 😮

I’ve been toying with knuckle tattoo ideas forever, and it just clicked that you can actually spell out TERM INAL. Not saying it’s a great idea, especially the second half, but still kind of wild.

I like my Friday evenings like any other person on this planet. Nerding out over how font installation works on Windows under the hood. #opensource #windowsdev

I’ve been working on some pretty cool things for @ohmyposh.dev this past week. It’s been exciting, especially while navigating imposter syndrome and connecting with some truly inspiring people.

MSIX is modern and easy to build but it can’t set environment variables like MSI, and it doesn’t support full system-wide installs. So now I’m wondering, what’s the best path forward?
June 25, 2025 at 1:46 PM
I have no idea if the msix works, I needed this build to validate that 😂
📦 v26.10.0

Bug Fixes

* init: take into account config file path

There were a few things I did not check, but they've been fixed in the meantime. Make sure to upgrade to v26.0.3 to benefit from these. If you still see an issue on that version, reach out.
This release is currently building. I tested it as much as I could and it seems to work everywhere. But I’m still worried as it does change the way we initialize the shell which could still introduce side effects. We’ll see. Worst case I revert this part.
Small update on where I am with this one. I think I nailed it. There's now the option to load async, which will improve initialization by a factor of 2 on top of the previously mentioned speed improvements.

I just got roasted verbally for sucking at Fortnite. Which I do, but I forgot how brutal people are when it comes to gaming.

I have to admit—I’ve been on the edge of burnout, and the past year has challenged me in ways I never expected. This week, I finally hit a wall, mentally shutting down on my way to work. But despite the exhaustion, one thing remains clear: I genuinely love working with most of the people around me.
