Go is the only good language with a GC Swift might be a remote second, but the compile times are long and the language keeps "evolving".

All GitHub should focus on is improving stability first, then speed. Nothing else...

I gave the Zen browser a try (6 months) since everyone was hyping it up but the CPU/memory usage is garbage. I'll stick to Firefox/Nyxt

I'm not sure what's worse, this hack or GitHub choking on displaying large PRs

We are investigating unauthorized access to GitHub’s internal repositories. While we currently have no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub’s internal repositories (such as our customers’ enterprises, organizations, and repositories), we are closely monitoring our infrastructure for follow-on activity.

This is how people in SF act when they meet someone who works at OpenAI

building emacs from first principles
May 18
i’ve fallen in love with cmux by @manaflowai coding has become all about parallel work. this means you need: 1. more visual context to reduce the negative effects of multitasking 2. faster ways to navigate between projects/tools, since you have many more open at any given time before i had tabs for each project and splits for each tool but everything felt clunky. i lacked context and switching to the project/tool combination felt far away now i have a script that sets up the tabs in cmux every time i create a new worktree. i can quickly switch by pressing ⌥ 2 (go to project 2) and ⌘ 1 (go to tool 1). this means i can view my tools in full screen instead of seeing them all cramped up also i can stay more in the loop because the layout allows for more visual context like notifications or pull requests it's crazy how much this has helped my mental clarity we'll work hard on making opencode better for these setups as well

I am pleased to announce ✨mine✨, a complete, no-frills IDE for Coalton and Common Lisp. It's a brand new IDE that has the essential interactive programming workflow all Lispers talk about, built-in. It is the easiest way to get started with Coalton/CL for Win/Mac/Linux. 👇

Introducing bait - their exit liquidity
Apr 22
Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone. No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum. Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too. Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund. It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital. And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee. — Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital. Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring. But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line. This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in. Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition. But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital. USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages. It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere. There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction. USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid. Get access here: usvc.com

Jumped on the hype train and left the moment it became an inconvenience
Open source is dead. That’s not a statement we ever thought we’d make. @calcom was built on open source. It shaped our product, our community, and our growth. But the world has changed faster than our principles could keep up. AI has fundamentally altered the security landscape. What once required time, expertise, and intent can now be automated at scale. Code is no longer just read. It is scanned, mapped, and exploited. Near zero cost. In that world, transparency becomes exposure. Especially at scale. After a lot of deliberation, we’ve made the decision to close the core @calcom codebase. This is not a rejection of what open source gave us. It’s a response to what risks AI is making possible. We’re still supporting builders, releasing the core code under a new MIT-licensed open source project called cal. diy for hobbyists and tinkerers, but our priority now is simple: Protecting our customers and community at all costs. This may not be the most popular call. But we believe many companies will come to the same conclusion. My full explanation below ↓

Getting solid feedback is now considered hating instead of seeing it for what it is...soft
I knew this project would bring out the haters

All true. But “21” in the developed world is a grown-ass adult. If they don’t have ethics then, they won’t magically grow them later, ESPECIALLY in the business world.
Maybe the Delve founders are genuine psychopaths. Maybe they set out to defraud people from day one. But they're 21. Both of them. Basically kids. More likely: they got into YC, got surrounded by people telling them to move fast and break things, grow at all costs, fake it till you make it, and so on. They wanted to impress their batchmates, their partners, the alumni network, their parents. So they pushed too hard and broke things they shouldn't have broken. YC selects for this. They want young naive founders who are aggressive, ambitious, a little reckless. They celebrate the ones who bend the rules and win. When a 21 year old bends the rules and loses, suddenly it's a "trust" issue and they get a cold three-sentence farewell on Bookface. No mentorship. No "hey, you're heading in a dangerous direction." No community stepping in before it got this far. Just "we asked them to leave, we wish them well." That's not a community. That's a machine that takes credit for your wins and disowns you when you mess up.

まあ、Xのおかげで言語の壁はなくなった。 Lisp万歳

Some niche programming communities (Haskell, OCaml) suffer from a touch of elitism Common Lisp's challenge is that half its community only speaks Japanese

Coalton Language Manual: coalton-lang.github.io/manua… It's intended to be short, succinct, to-the-point. It's a first draft. It's not a language standard, though I will strive to improve precision and comprehensiveness over time. And it's not a book. Please send PRs to improve it.

People in tech could go so far if they knew when to say: - "You're right" - "I'm wrong" - "I made a mistake" - "I'm sorry" and actually mean it ^^

i think its a little sad to watch all these people who took pride in the art of programming slowly die away as they realize bit by bit that its actually over
