Big facepalm... EU had really only one job with the EU wallet... And missed the point completely. GrapheneOS is probably closer to EU data security and privacy standards than Android or iOS.

So, either don’t use Github web ui or don’t use Chrome. However it‘s probably pretty safe to say all browsers behave equally power-hungry.

We need to learn to be more conscious about the impact our way of doing things has.

Elon having Cursor in his claws now doesn’t exactly instill a sense of security in me to actually store IP on their servers. Forgejo works nicely enough my homelab. Thank you!

That's not entirely true, and skews the actual facts, that while Microsoft Bing Ads network is used to generate revenue for Qwant it does NOT provide BING with the full user details of their users, but only with limited anonymous (pseudonymous) data.

Suffice to say they need to get their own search index fully filled and stop using Bing (or whatever US-based) data. It's a process...

This might actually be cool hardware! I'm just wondering why anyone would waste all the overhead for the Windows OS. There's probably only 48 Gigs of unified memory left when your log-on completes...

This is genuinely cool! I have it bookmarked now and will definitely get back to it after my todo list lost its fight against me. ;)

Kudos! The site rocks as well! I also have an api-first SaaS (see https://thelawin.dev), but it unfortunately needs a bit more explanation.

Best, Steviee

Actually yes and no. The current implementation is more like a monitor of things going on. I used it to visualize the current state of a project that I let AI agents work on. So the board is read-only, and I think that's mostly fine for now. Porting this read-only view to HTML and put a little http/websocket service in there would be easy on the one hand, but break the TUI setting somewhat. Feel free to create an issue for it, though.

Hey, good question. The cli tool itself is more or less just modifying files within the repo so you should be good to go with Mercurial or any other vcs. To smooth things out for AI agents the skill files and descriptions would need to be migrated for the respective vcs of course.

This makes total sense to me. Everything that makes up the state of your project should either be part of the versioned repo (git) or not be part of the project.

I created a little Github Issues replacement for myself that puts the issues within the repo so that the work and the todos stay in sync. https://github.com/steviee/git-issues

And I bet there's numerous other projects like that.

Hope you get your submarine, man! ;)

It would be great to see a politician as angry about lobbying as Merz is about work-life balance.

Love it! Merz (and our minister of commerce Reiche) is a desaster for Germany and all of Europe. Tump attacks Iran and Gas prices hit 2,12€ (and even more) per liter and still they think betting on fossil fuels from their dictatorship-friends is a good thing.

Saving Earth is just not cost-effective (at least not for the "right" people).

Wearing my Ruby T-Shirt (ok, Rubyconf.TH, but you get the gist) while reading this makes me fully approving and appreciating your post! It totally resonates with my current project setups and my trying to get them as simple as possible.

Especially when building new and unproven applications I'm always looking for things that trade the time I need to set tings up properly with he time I need to BUILD THE ACTUAL PRODUCT. Therefore I really like the recent changes to the Ruby on Rails ecosystem very much.

What we need is a larger user base setting everything up and discovering edge-cases and (!) writing about it (AND notifying the people around Rails). The more experience and knowledge there is, the better the tooling becomes. The happy path needs to become as broad as a road!

Like Kamal, at first only used by 36signals and now used by them and me. :D At least, of course.

Kudos!

Marketing is wrong, selling LLMs as AI is like someone giving you a clutch and telling you "now go drive somewhere in your new car!".

I'm quite out of illusions here. Small startups I'd also help (consulting-wise) for free. Bigger companies however already did so much harm to their employees with how they manage change (hint: they don't) that there's a fee attached...

Very cool. I even noticed this disconnect with bigger and big companies a lot. And also would offer help, however not for free. I do software for 40+ years and I've seen things go well and go south... Worked in a company with 4 customers and in a company with 25M customers and lots with numbers inbetween...

This title is so wild when you read it without the context of software development...

So, upon loading the page I get two Google Chrome ads displayed. It's not exactly reinforcing my feeling of anonymity, tbh...

Hack your calendar and be there for him! All the best!

I had the honor to meet him in Bangkok for Rubyconf TH in 2022. What an exceptionally bright mind! So very approach able and fun to talk to... So many words! Rest in peace, Noah!

Awesome! Will definitely give it a try!

Ruby is a fantastic language and Rails gives lots of opportunities to go fast when adding new functionality to your product. The community is great and while there are different opinions about how to evolve Rails there is other frameworks like Hanami and libraries that don't need Rails.

In the end what matters is that you can produce the functions that make your product valuable to your customers. You need to Do it on a daily basis and always on time. Ruby on Rails helps you with that.

General advice: Do not choose the tech stack for generating your income by following fashion. It is a marathon and not a sprint after all.

I'm currently working in a Typescript environment that somebody choose for "reasons" (types, hiring,...) and I regret it every day. I'd go with Rails anytime.

Ruby (on Rails) or Go.

Hi,

congratulations to you and your team! One thing a developer becoming a teamlead needs to learn is letting go.

Changeing the mindest from a maker to a mentor.

Hope it helps!

Kind regards, Steviee

Culture only happens at the office, then?

We have a rule for attending meetings: If the meeting is useless, you can leave (after telling so).

Slack time usually is spent chatting, working on other stuff, getting coffee, browsing the internet/reading. Most of the time it's work related so it's also useful in the end.

The Marketing Solutions unit here at XING provides self-booking advertising tools to our users on our platform (~30M users and growing). For 2019 we plan to strengthen our engineering team of Ruby On Rails, Javascript and Scala developers and have several open positions.

Have a look at our extensive job postings: Ruby On Rails (https://bit.ly/2RBg5Pn), React Frontend (https://bit.ly/2Ffnhu9) and Scala (https://bit.ly/2Qtg9w8) where you can also apply directly.

We provide help with relocation and even though we're a german company our primary language is English since there are people from 40+ nations working for us in nine locations throughout Europe and the US (you should have a valid VISA or Blue Card if you are living outside the EU).

Happy new year!

Hi,

just take the platform you're most comfortable with (Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, Node/Express, ASP.NET, whatever...) and implement your smallest possible product/service use cases (MVP-like) and ask your peers or future-customers to start working with it.

Then iterate though all the issues and suggestions to improve it.

First rule would be to get SOMETHING WORKING online asap.

You can go from there. When you're making money, start improving the product and the technology.

To address your needs you need to know what you need first. :)

Best regards, Steviee

Sorry for being off-topic but I need to write this down:

The first thing I had in mind after reading the topic "Open-sourced food production" was "Soylent Green is people!".

Puh, good thing that's off my mind now.

Best, Steviee

Deal with it. Want to use a framework, learn how to use it properly, especially if it's authentication/security related.

Programming is hard. You won't learn anything about the technology by only using high level point-and-click libraries and IDEs.

best regards, Steviee

I agree. My experience (and please tell me when I'm wrong) is that Windows developers for the most part stick to their choice of framework while multi-OS (Windows included) developers are more open to the wonders of the world.

So statistically the .NET guys may be more narrow-minded regarding development stacks.

Steviee

We'll see. Hopefully it is not as half-hearted as the other technologies Microsoft tries to establish and then forgets about. They will need to put a lot of effort into it to have something even remotely equal to Node (or other micro servers). And when they deliver, the Node hype could be gone already! ;)
