We tested greptile as a code rabbit replacement and it was shockingly bad, like how are people using this. It's even worse than the built in GitHub copilot reviewer.
Missing basic features, wild hallucinations, intern level suggestions, no project context
We cancelled our trial after just 2 days 😅

Is anyone hosting a production NextJS app on Cloudflare? We've got many large apps that we're looking for move off Vercel but would ideally like to avoid self hosting or AWS lambda.

I've been using @kagi.com for a few days now and I've realised decades of searching has trained me to completely ignore the first result.. but with Kagi it's usually the result I want most of the time since there's no unrelated ads at the top 😅

Currently looking at @aikidosecurity.bsky.social safe chain, a tool for preventing malware in npm packages.. but it has chalk as a dependency with no strict version set in the package.json
Surely a tool like this should have 0 dependencies..

@coderabbitai.bsky.social has become unbearably slow the last few weeks. We've had it across our team for ~6 months now and it's mostly been helpful but I'm currently sat waiting 20+ minutes and it still hasn't reviewed?!
I get that it's peak US working hours, but this is unusable now.. 🐰

TypeScript excitement 😉
TS 6.0 is planning a bunch of breaking changes to tsconfig options to deprecate some and change the defaults for others. This will simplify configuration and ease the transition to the Go-based TS 7.0 👍
The latest pitch is to enable strict type-checking modes by default 🎉

Just filed an issue to turn `--strict` on by default in TypeScript.
Maybe it's a little bit ambitious, but I'm excited for us to try this one. 😄

Claude Code is seriously impressive. I'm a converted skeptic after hearing great things for weeks.
I spent the day doing interesting things instead of project maintenance. Things that would usually take me 1-2 hours each task I now have Claude go off and do it in the background.. 🤯

Found myself using ComfyUI regularly in my homelab for various tasks (like generating blog post headers) so I wrote up a guide for a quick setup on Ubuntu.

Slightly disappointed that the top model still only has 5gbps ethernet with no option to upgrade that or an SFP+ option.
