This is a hilarious personal website! Love it. Even better that it's paired with quality content.

It seems that extra-usage is required to use the 1M context window for Sonnet 4.6. This differs from Sonnet 4.5, which allows usage of the 1M context window with a Max plan.

```

/model claude-sonnet-4-6[1m]

⎿ API error: 429 {"type":"error","error": {"type":"rate_limit_error","message":"Extra usage is required for long context requests."},"request_id":"[redacted]"}

```

I was just looking into this today but it seems pricey. $29/user/month for basic features like codeowners and defining pr approval requirements. Going with Forgejo.

Anyone have alternatives to recommend? We will be switching after this. Already moved to self-hosted action runners and we are early-stage so switching cost is fairly low.

Does America need to produce the talent or can they import it?

From GPT-5-Pro with Deep Research selected:

FWIW Deep Research doesn’t run on whatever you pick in the model selector. It’s a separate agent that uses dedicated o‑series research models: full mode runs on o3; after you hit the full‑mode cap it auto‑switches to a lightweight o4‑mini version. The picker governs normal chat (and the pre‑research clarifying Qs), not the research engine itself.

I built a tool to split up a single PR into multiple nice commits: https://github.com/edverma/git-smart-squash

This is so cool. Congrats on ten years!

All devs should run open-source trufflehog as a precommit hook for all repositories on their local system. It’s not a foolproof solution, but it’s a small time investment to get set up and gives me reasonable assurance that I will not accidentally commit a secret. I’m unsure why this is not more widely considered standard practice.

Interesting! I’ve faced the same problem where I have a mega PR and spend a lot of time breaking that up into separate PRs. I agree that what you are suggesting is a different but related problem to what this tool currently solves. I’ll start thinking through how this would look, and I’ll go ahead and make a GitHub issue if you or anyone else wants to start a discussion there.

Why do people speak online as if the library is a place anyone goes to? I understand some people still go to libraries, but this cannot be considered a commonplace activity like it once was. Librarians do not hold any meaningful position in society because so few people come in contact with them.

This seems like a very small amount of money to pay to help remove your biggest competitor in your largest market.

very cool! I'm surprised there are no signups in SF yet. I'm sure many will come.

A huge sports LED ticker screen. It’s been an interesting experience. Hardware is hard. But people love it when they see it and seem to be really excited for it.

This seems timely in regards to the US Presidential race.

Does anyone have good examples of software that meets this criteria? Or places where this type of software can be found? I love the idea here and would love to put it into practice but among the disadvantages that small makers suffer against large industry is easy discoverability for their products.
