Linux is great...until you mess it up. Share your most epic Linux face-palm moments so we can all laugh (and maybe learn) together in next week's @LinuxUnplugged.

Just give a try to services-flake. This project, freshly open-sourced by Juspay, allows defining and running services in your project flakes and works on both Linux and macOS. buff.ly/3WH9GDA

I'm perpetually OCaml curious, so it's great to see a nice story around using it with #nix! 🤓👀

I love seeing people call Elixir Phoenix the "technology of the week" in @t3dotgg's video. In practice, they had reached 1.0 before many of the cited alternatives were even created! More importantly, they are *still* in v1.x almost 10 years later! :D

This. Also something I continue to appreciate about #clojure.
i think about this concept constantly rate of change != quality

Today I learned about `git commit --fixup=<commit>` and `git rebase --update-refs --autosquash -i <commit>` and my life has significantly improved. I fear no stacked PRs. Bring it.

Just the sort of development to signal I should probably keep exploring devenv...

Have played with it a bit for python and clojure projects, seems quite promising! I especially like that I can integrate it via nix flakes without any extra tooling. Here's a quick and unoptimized example for python that's also using pdm: github.com/noblepayne/celery…

I'm a big fan of ipython of course, but I think having a great REPL experience is important, and especially so with limited setup. IMO too many python devs have never even used the repl, outside of beginner tasks or quick syntax checks.

In case people don't know, REPLs are a thing People be acting like all dynamically type-checked code lives in some kind of compilation vacuum
I still can’t believe that static type checking adherents believe there’s no other way to know what kind of data you’re working with Do people not style, document, and test their code? (I know the answer already)
