I'm home again after a 24-hour unconference conference with ~20 friends. I had a blast and learned so much about so many different topics such as Gleam, Odin, Zig to name a few.

Not a big surprise to be honest. I have myself started to consider moving away due to to all the recent bugs and quality regressions. Sad to see something so good, become so bad in such short time.

"In a world where fascists redefine truth, where surveillance capitalist companies, more powerful than democratically elected leaders, exert control over our desires, do we really want their machines to become part of our thought process?"

The most recent thing to stop working on my Windows machine after a week without use: Automatic NTP server synchronization.

I spent more than 15 minutes trying to figure out why TOTP codes were not working.

One of the many joys of using AI for programming is the creation of huge PRs on complex topics that the authors barely understand, but still suggest "because they work". Here's a great example from #OCaml github.com/ocaml/ocaml/...

Kudos to OCaml's maintainers for handling this so gracefully.

I've been using Coolify to manage applications for a while, but I'm starting to think it's vibe-coded or something. Things break from version to version.

What do you use to manage your servers and software running on them? I've heard good things about uncloud.run, but haven't tried it myself
Self-host and scale web apps without Kubernetes complexity | Uncloud
Take your Docker Compose apps to production with zero-downtime deployments, automatic HTTPS, and cross-machine scaling. Self-hosting made reliable without the complexity.

I literally don't know how to do anything else that makes people want to pay me money for it.

What vibe coded hellscape is this? Agents? Agent workspace? MCP on Windows?

If they don't get their act together soon, before the Steam Machine launches, I'm uninstalling Windows for good, after 20 years of using it.

A reminder that “enshittification” has a specific and useful meaning and doesn’t just mean “things, companies or countries are getting worse”. There is an existing word for that which is “decline”.

No one else is seeing this on NuGet? Getting it both via CLI and website upload.

No one else seems to be complaining. Feels like they are shadow-banning me or something 😁

Hey NuGet! Can you tell 11e4935e to get back to me ASAP? It's been 48 hours of disruption now!

LOL, Lovable is in trouble. As many first-time startups they just discovered the hard way that they need to pay VAT. Swedish tax authorities are not happy 😁

Oh, you sweet summer child.
