jj run allows you to run a command over a set of changes, each with their own private working copy; the commands may update the working copy and changes/conflicts are propagated accordingly, e.g., jj run -- cargo check --all-features or jj run --cargo fix behaves as one might expect

Turns out you can just plug your iPhone into a USB-C monitor with keyboard attached and get a mini desktop PC—not sure why I didn’t do this sooner

Ooo nice jj + fzf shortcut oppi.li/posts/jjj/

Great article. I also like to push my megamerge so it gets built in CI in the background

If I had to drop @jj-vcs.dev I honestly don't know what I would do with myself. The megamerge workflow is so incredibly powerful for me that my brain short circuits trying to do anything else isaaccorbrey.com/notes/jujuts...

Man @exe.dev is so cool. Amazing to be able to paste in a link to a public repo from your phone and and start chatting about it with an agent, without having had to have opened a laptop and cloned it first

I think the Huel acquisition may be Aylesbury’s first unicorn? (I went to school there so feel proud for some reason, despite having nothing to do with them)

With juttu.app you can add a comment section to any blog article that adopts standard.site adding two lines of HTML, how cool is that? :)

This is an absolutely beautiful, glorious description of the products in our lives. The things that once were simple tools that met needs, now demand relationships, have opinions, and occupy cycles of our lives.

“I’ve always liked small beautiful things, that’s my own bias. But, you can assemble big beautiful things from small beautiful things.” Excellent post.

exe.dev's CLI and API are one and the same, as it should be. blog.exe.dev/apis-for-the...

On a non-milk-related note, @idursun.com’s jjui tool for @jj-vcs.dev is really good idursun.github.io/jjui/

First time I’ve ever seen a “rotary evaporator” machine used on milk to make coffee

Weave is an alternative merge driver for Git to semantically merge code based on the code instead of just lines in a file. Very cool concept ataraxy-labs.github.io/weave/ And a clever name!

I’ve written a bit about my @jj-vcs.dev workflow for reviewing others’ code. Still room to improve the process but I’m finding value in it so thought I’d share. Feedback welcome!

Crazy seeing missiles exploding in the sky out of the window

Been stuck on Windows at work for 3 months and have finally gone back to MacOS. Using WSL is better than I thought but it’s still nothing on the Mac. So much more stable in general, the terminal handles mouse control characters without randomly printing them to the screen, and ⌘ for clipboard is 🤌🏼

After reading this I gave exe.dev a shot and the combination of cheap VMs, the HTTPS proxy with passkey auth and link sharing, and the built-in LLM agent is... incredible. Like, I know how to use each of these things individually, but combining them feels like when I first learned to script things.

Just in time software

I didn’t plan to write software in the grocery store last night. I was tired and hungry, kids in tow. My long shopping list sat in a text message. I wished I could check items off as I found them.…

I’ve heard this argument before I don’t quite understand it—why anyone would build new wind generation if they were only going to get paid the amount it costs them to run, i.e. close to zero. I think they’d just all end up bidding £0.10 less than the gas producers and we’d be back to square one.

"And it’s not actually difficult — we could do it within the current market rules by changing the auction system to one where every power generator gets paid the price they bid, (rather than the highest, as now)." Oh dear. (What might they bid in that case, mate?) www.ft.com/content/fdd7...

Finally tried uv. It’s not just fast: it’s laughably fast. Like, “this is what should run every kind of package management on a whole computer” kind of fast.

Finally tried #jujitsu after having had it installed for a few months. Wow it only took like an hour to get comfortable with it in a git colocated repo, why didn’t I do this sooner? It fits my typical git rebase workflow perfectly with way fewer steps

#AnimalDatabaseAlliance, assemble! We're excited to announce the TigerBeetle connector for @redpandadata Real-time transaction streaming, now correct and fast, by default.

Kubernetes v1.34: Use An Init Container To Define App Environment Variables-

Excited to finish watching this talk about empowering people to learn and use @rust-lang.org when I’m back from holiday. Having watched the intro, it looks like there are bunch of interesting new tools to make the language more approachable. youtu.be/R0dP-QR5wQo?...

My first time using Gemini chat today — turns out it’s the only one that supports OCRing large PDFs that have been scanned in. Claude only seems to work with PDFs containing actual text instead of just images of text. Lifesaver for asking questions on old legal documents such as title deeds!

Today, we're announcing our first hosted infrastructure product: pyx, a Python-native package registry. We think of pyx as an optimized backend for uv: it’s a package registry, but it also solves problems that go beyond the scope of a traditional "package registry".

New Redis release, but with a twist. It includes our first Rust patches to Redis Query Engine! In particular, it ships the new TrieMap implementation I wrote with Henk Oordt, as part of @mainmatter.com's ongoing collaboration with Redis.
