I just stumbled into a Twitch stream and my entire life was validated 5 secs in. Chris is my spirit animal. It's worth a watch to the end. "It took me awhile to figure out, most people are pretty stupid." - @christitustech

I use NATS in every project, from startup config to job orchestration. A single binary with endless use-cases stacked on top. Foundational.
🎉 Happy 16th Birthday to @nats_io! It has been an amazing journey and we are just getting started as the central nervous system for cloud to edge systems and agentic AI as it moves closer to the physical world. We are also open for voting to graduate from the @CloudNativeFdn - Only the TOC's votes are official but a 👍 is always welcome - github.com/cncf/toc/issues/2… And if you find the technology valuable please consider giving us a star! github.com/nats-io/nats-serv…

Status update: migration complete
Anyone tried this? I self-host git today; access over tailscale. Have considered an http wrapper and a few bells and whistles, but this might be light enough for Ricky.

MessagePack for C# v4 Preview 1 is out. I posted a short write-up on r/moderndotnet about the new formatter interface and an asm-level look. reddit.com/r/moderndotnet/s/…

That was the spark that led to the decision to cut all proprietary vendors loose from the company.

When somebody asks me why I write software the way I do.
In 1983, a BBC interviewer asked Richard Feynman why two magnets push each other apart — and he refused to answer it. What he did instead is the best seven minutes on thinking ever filmed. Bookmark & watch today, no matter what.

I love the smell of Mutiny in the morning. Some CAD drama… I’m rooting for these guys.
We received the email Friday. 24 hours later, below is the progress on our Autodesk Revit replacement I'm calling Mutiny.

I'm rocking this theme today. Veddy nice.
I gave a Roadster the Tokyo Night treatment and now I can’t pick a wallpaper. Electric blue. Violet reflections. An entirely unreasonable amount of time staring at my desktop. Tokyo Roadster for Omarchy. Four of the eight below. Good luck choosing ✌️

🎵 The outpost brings all the ranchers to the yard, and they're like... your steel is better than ours. 🎵
tl;dr of my agent use. Grok bot is now my main entry point. I threw away my custom loop. I have all of the "edges" of my SDLC covered. Git is all local to my network. CLI tools and targeted shell commands handle everything. I made these pre-AI. Rewrote them with AI. Then, promoted myself from engineer to Leadership. I still have some harness sessions for targeted work... but the minions I have in Grok bot do the rest in a controlled manner. Typical setup: - dev/test site for quick iteration - promote to prod when signaled - a grok bot as a product owner - a grok bot as an engineer - a human bot (me) that tells them what to do - NATS, the secret sauce Everyone talks to each other. It's all my code, in my ecosystem.

Need to find a professional way to translate this into the enterprise: The super senior you're listening to prefers Command Prompt and Windows for developing over literally any other combo.
