Beginning to wonder, what comes after code review?

Why does dieting cause LLMs to become forgetful? Weight loss

Although agentic coding makes it easier to make large changes; It's so time consuming to keep prompting it to make the small refinements that keep code quality good... Guess that's why they call it a #slopmachine

If you're in Seattle this evening, I'll talking at the Seattle Rust User Group bsky.app/profile/zed....

One week out: Seattle Rust User Group meets Thursday, June 18 at 6pm PT, hosted by Boundary ML. @cirw.in from Zed is in town to talk CRDTs, alongside talks from Boundary ML and the local Rust crowd. Excited to see you there! www.meetup.com/seattle-rust...

If you're in SF, I'll be speaking at Bay Area Rust this evening! bsky.app/profile/suns...

In case somebody missed this with all the AI thingy and world news. The 2nd edition of the best (imo) software engineering book has been recently released. Thanks for the gem, @martin.kleppmann.com

There are so many juicy quotes in this www.b-list.org/weblog/2026/....

Fun thing about watching agents write rust is learning new weird features. If you can't put your files in the right place, no problem!

It's really exciting to me how much easier it is for people to get started programming with LLMs. Being able to fully control a computer is super empowering.

Sometimes it's easier just to work around the limitations of your tools. Last Q in this survey...

Wouldn't be a day of the week that ends in "day" without GitHub having problems.

Kotlin read my blog post! cekrem.github.io/posts/kotlin... vs cirw.in/blog/typescr... :D

Kotlin's Rich Errors: Native, Typed Errors Without Exceptions

At KotlinConf 2025, the Kotlin team showcased progress toward Rich Errors with union types. After years of watching languages slowly adopt patterns that Elm has championed since day one, it’s exciting...

What idiot called it vibe coding and not prayer programming

I think I have to approach LLMs in the same way I approach guns: - expands agency - Changes social dynamics - Complicated to talk about

@cirw.in I just watched your talk "Rendering at 1 million pixels / millisecond with GPUI". It is really great! One of the best this year! #eurorust www.youtube.com/watch?v=sheI...

How did I miss that someone figured out fully linear time lookaround matching for regexes! aurele-barriere.github.io/papers/linea...

A friend shared a lovely Dijkstra essay. It's short enough to read in a few minutes, and is damning of the current attempt to replace our brains with AI generated writing and vibe coding. www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcr...

hate it when programs present you with a text input and it's NOT READY FOR YOU TO TYPE IN — like wdym?? I'm a meatbag full of water! You're a monster running at 4.5 GHz!!! How am I waiting on you!

i think rust teaches us to fear dynamic dispatch because it looks ugly to box dyn, but my hottest bevy take is that we haven’t yet begun to fully explore the potential of function pointers in components

Anyone with a complicated set of GitHub Actions YAML files have ideas on a good structure to avoid insanity? Seems like "put all the scripts into .sh" files is a good start; but the whole lot is quite tangled Asking for a friend... github.com/zed-industri...

I collaborated with @cirw.in at EuroRust to make a Zed extension for Roto! It's based on the tree-sitter grammar and supports syntax highlighting and generating an outline. It can be installed via Zed's regular extension manager. Thanks @cirw.in! cc @nlnetlabs.bsky.social #rust #rustlang

And the first day of #eurorust25 wraps up with some amazing story time with Conrad Irwin (@cirw.in) talking about software, speed and how it all affects human experience! 🔃🤌🏼👏🏼

My voice-to-text model just transcribed "stack of abstractions" to "stack of obstructions". I guess it's the same. 😭
