Are there any plans to sandbox the agents? I suspect it would be fairly trivial on macOS using sandbox-exec. This looks very useful but I hesitate to run yolo mode agents (even with clear instructions) on my machine.
I have been impressed with Ente products and customer service. It's good to see they are growing. That said, revenue information is not entirely helpful in a vacuum. I'd be more keen on seeing profit (even at a lower timeline resolution). What's the average cost for taking on a new customer? What's the retention/turnover? Etc. That said the products are great and I'd recommend them to anyone.
Ah. Missed that. Thank you
But isn't this built into uv already? Just point the sources table to GitHub.

Not sure if you're referring here to Windows or Microsoft as a company. Could fit either /S
They already did
Yes, but they don't and won't too (at least until they do again)
What's bad is that it's so much better than it used to be and still this bad.
I really enjoyed and agree with the majority of the article, but this was my nit as well. My hatred of vacation planning is often the reason I don't go on more vacations. It seems like automating a task that is experienced by the individual as completely monotonous ( and only affects that individual) would be a great example of something worth handing off to a text generator.
I read though the GitHub readme but I'm still unsure what "new" this brings this brings to the table. It seems like a thin wrapper over existing tools. Since Microsoft rarely deprecates and removes anything, this feels like just another unnecessary complexity layer.
I'm not a traditional app dev on Windows though, so I'm likely missing something. For those of you who are more familiar, what about this are you excited about?
This is awesome! I can't believe I've not heard of it before. Thanks for sharing!
This is how WinGet works. It has a small SQLite db it downloads from a hosted url. The DB contains some minimal metadata and a url path to access the full metadata. This way WinGet only has to make API calls for packages it's actually interacting with. As a package manager, it has plenty of problems still, but it's a simple, elegant solution for the git as a DB issue.

This is one place jj really shines. Using jj new to quickly switch to a new change makes it easier to not drop flow but still break up work. You can come back later and add descriptions or reorder and squash. That way, you don't get into as many situations where splitting a commit is necessary. For those that remain, jj split works well.

I was thinking about picking one up and giving it a shot.
Reference? My anecdotal experience so far leads me to believe the opposite.
I wish there was a good in between option. I despise the autogenerated playlists for all the reasons mentioned in the article, but I also enjoy the ease of not having to choose what to listen too.
Algorithmically generated playlists from my personal library with the occasional new song thrown in. Maybe, new songs introduced that my social circle is listening to.
That said, I'm recently back to listening to albums exclusively again, which mostly solves this for me. If a friend suggests a song or I hear something on the radio, I pickup the album and listen through. It's a great way to discover new stuff while avoiding the trash. My only real issue is that so many artists I enjoy are in the EP only stage of their career, so for those, custom playlists is the only way.
Unrelated, but if you have an iPhone, I use Chuck for this. The free tier is plenty if you just want to use it to clean up the inbox.

If warp had just stuck to being a decent terminal emulator with great UI, I would be using it without question. This AI nonsense is why I don't even consider them an option.

After reading this, I did a search for mentions of this article and found this StackOverflow gem. The top answer basically picks up where the JoelOnSoftware article leaves off and filled in the rest of the blanks for me.

Still have more reading to do and a lot to learn but this was super informative, so thank you internet stranger.
Haha, this is fantastic.
So I have an announcement to make: if you are a programmer working in 2003 and you don’t know the basics of characters, character sets, encodings, and Unicode, and I catch you, I’m going to punish you by making you peel onions for 6 months in a submarine. I swear I will.
Thank you!

The Talk Python podcast just did an episode adjacent to this

Hard agree. To me this article just sounds like a breakdown of team structure, or at least someone who has never had a good manager or PM.
This is about the only thing I like about PowerShell. In Unix-y shells I can use a combination of `jc` and `jq` to get a similar effect. Not quite as convenient as PowerShell though. That said, even after using it daily for years, I never was able to get used to all the weird inconsistencies and footguns.
