it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

There's a part of me who badly wants to use the Fish shell, and another one who lazily sticks to a ZSH setup 😄 fishshell.com

A smart and user-friendly command line shell

The takeaway? Doing a migration myself and taking my time is a very sound option 🤣

I initially thought that a migration could be a task for some AI agent. Jules from Google? The instance that was working ended up being stale and unresponsive. I tried Anthropic models in VSCode, but it kept on doing crap (bad commands, not realizing it had not ported stuff, stupid scripts, etc)

I’ve managed to update my Jekyll website yesterday, but I had to use an old Ruby and gems combo. julien.ponge.org

I’m starting a migration to Hugo, it’s quite compelling once you get the mental model.

Pour plein de dys, c’est trop tôt pour appréhender seul la pile de devoirs et révisions. Et je ne parle pas de “allons voir la prise de note sur ordi et recollons les morceaux »

I find it amusing how modern JavaScript and plain built-in browser APIs are already compelling. I’m not saying React is useless, but you don’t always need to go that far.

Je n’en ai aucune idée.

Also the only piece of vibe coding here is the synthetic data. The rest is "old man coding the whole thing" 😄

I might also start a new JavaScript framework at this stage:

May the demo gods be with me. I think I'm an AI expert now. Powered by Quarkus, Langchain4J, Ollama, llama3.1 and even some function call magic.

After 20 minutes of playing with it, all I got was funky animations in my terminal, and absolutely garbage / inconsistent measurements.

Conclusion, use a proven, less fancy tool like Hyperfoil. Bonus, it even has a wrk compatibility script to make it simple: hyperfoil.io/docs/migrati...

Migrating from wrk/wrk2

How and why should I migrate from wrk/wrk2 to Hyperfoil?

The other day I saw a devrel from the Java team at Oracle use `oha` for load testing: github.com/hatoo/oha

Fancy tool, with an animated terminal UI, and of course, written in Rust, because, ... well.

GitHub - hatoo/oha: Ohayou(おはよう), HTTP load generator, inspired by rakyll/hey with tui animation.

Hey @developers.google.com, you're making me cope with this annoyance with alarming frequency. You know and I know that uBlock Origin is the single most useful Chrome extension ever written. When I can no longer use it, I'll no longer use Chrome.

Nastygram from Chrome telling me it has disabled uBlock origin again.

I used to enjoy reading the DHH of many years ago, when he had hot takes and out of the box thinking on software development practices and business.

The DHH of today… well, no thank you.
