Replacing long lived secrets with short lived secrets (oidc) was a useful idea 2 years ago. I don’t think bearer tokens with 15 minute expiration are gonna stop you from getting owned. Proof of possession (e.g. TLS) is the only way. OIDC will be dead in 2 months

we did invent it and it's called OIDC federation vercel and github actions do it: - each deploy gets a short-lived signed token - AWS/npm/other services verify it via trust policy - you get temporary creds no keys to paste the problem is not enough APIs and services accept it

to me it was always bonkers insane that in order to connect service A with service B i need to ... paste an api key ??? how come as a fucking industry we didnt invent a better way to connect deployments with services

Bazel isn’t glamorous. You’d have to hold a gun to my head to make me use it pre AI. But my god, when the entirety of my interaction with setting it up was “use Bazel” and a week later “add remote workers for distributed compile” It’s phenomenal.

Developers will be like, "I don't like paying $1 per build, I'll just buy this $15,000 mac studio so all my builds are free" not an accounting class in sight

Replaced all my CI with a 128 core ampere Altra and it’s literally idling most of the time. If you’re a friend and you are strapped for compute DM me and you’ll get access for €10 per month to help cover internet, electricity and depreciation nixbot.passkey.exchange/repo…

I moved my some GitHub action runners to a new M5 Ultra Mac Studio and off of @useblacksmith. The price of compute for Blacksmith was $400+/month. You can lease a M5 Ultra 96GB for ~$110/month and have compute to spare.

I think we should move away from the cloud for most of this stuff. CI could run on your mother’s phone

Buck2 + Nix is how we’re tackling moving at AI scale at @mercury . Really excited about the work Farid is doing here.

Nothing. Nix is the only way we scale our infra into what agents have in store for us.

#buck2 #nix #nixpkgs #nixos the integration between these things can be frighteningly good.... What's stopping us? fzakaria.com/2026/10/17/one-…

One store, two frontends

One of the big ideas I think the Nix community should pursue is relocatable binaries. I put my money where my mouth is and collaborated with the VFS Linux maintainer Christian Brauner to get $ORIGIN...

I see the "We can fix everything" guy has moved back to the "remigration fixes everything" playbook. Thanks for giving this populist idiot a platform.

Turns out that I’m once again winning by not bothering keeping up with the Meta. I just talk to Claude . That’s my approach.

You sound completely awesome so don’t take this as criticism. Most of the stuff you’re talking about here is captured much better and more differently in the models already. You shouldn’t give it help with technical coding concepts. It wastes your context window and can make output significantly worse. What I recommend is using your harness’s context files to describe how you like your code to look. Personal preferences. Style. Favorite languages. Etc. Basically, what, not how. Try it. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
