trying to build more and blog about it ex-soydev turned to rust live in nyc 🇺🇸 grew up in italy 🇮🇹

Hey @thorstenball.com saw your episode on DavidOndrej's pod. Really resonate with a lot of things you've said. Especially the way to "rethink SWE". I really love being able to focus on the UX of the tools I build nowadays. I also really agree, forms need to die.

Been using GNU stow for a few years for my dotfiles, but I keep running into annoying errors/warnings that require special flags to get stow working as expected. --adopt --no-folding --restow And I often forget what each does. So I made github.com/metruzanca/g... to just ask the user.

Cant help myself bringing in at least a few things from @charm.land in every go project. log is an easy one to make it in all the time. huh is another I keep importing recently for clis

I've been using deepseek v4 flash exclusively. Very high quality for very little cost. Now with this week before reset I'm going to go ahead and use v4 pro instead. Not that I feel like I need to, just want to make the most of the tokens. cc @cmgriffing.bsky.social

Whenever I use chatgpt/perplexity/t3chat, basically any purely chat agent, I often find myself wanting to save a document or something. I'm thinking I should maybe self host opencode server somewhere and use that instead (esp on mobile). Coding agents are just so much more flexible.

I might install NixOS on a ~300gb partition on my drive to experiment a bit before committing. Then I'll nuke the unshrinkable windows partition. Been wanting to come back to Linux for gaming and dev for a while.

I really want to make @popfeed.social my main app but its got some kinks to iron out first. Right now the latest kink is its showing me an episode that isn't out yet. Clevatess S2E04 comes out tomorrow at 7AM (eastern time) so why is it being shown now?

Agents eagerly write commit descriptions but will never even check them if you ask them to review history for some reason.

I’ve been working on an Exaclidraw fork for about a week that syncs your drawings to your Atmosphere account as well as uses Iroh for realtime encrypted end to end collaborative work. I feel like it’s at a stage where I can share it. Meet lexidraw.app!

Wanted to install Nix on an old laptop, but I can't get either graphical or minimal ISO to boot. I wonder why Aurora(fedora based) had no issue.

@aly.codes so I watched your talk on nix.. I think I might revisit it. Ngl, not the biggest fan of the nix language but the benifits are real and I can just have an ai agent write the nix for me.

I have 6 instances of @zed.dev open with different projects. 2 go projects, 1 rust, 3 typescript 125MB of total ram used Vscode/cursor could never. _nvim users, i know yall have even lower mem, please spare me_

Going thru my github repos to figure out what I want to mirror to @tangled.org. I think I'm going to use github for the average repo, but anything I'm proud of will be mirrored to @tangled.org. For Job prospects, the github commit squares are still somewhat important to me.
