An embeddable terminal library is such a boon. To get scrollback to work across a handful of terminal surfaces, we built it into the session manager. Read all about it! blog.exe.dev/exe-scroll
Ghostty in the Machine: the saga of exe-scroll - exe.dev blog
Two ghostty instances stand between you and your shell. How exe-scroll keeps remote terminal sessions alive, plus a tour of the prior art: mosh, tmux, dtach, and web terminals.

SaaSpocalypse happens like bankruptcy: gradually first, then all at once. Just this past month, I’ve built several bots/agents for work that correspond to products I’m “supposed” to have bought. Sam Schillace wrote “what if I can just do it faster than talking to you?” That applies to SaaS.
ssh -R and -L are so powerful. Needed to let agent on my VM connect to iOS sim on Mac, far behind a NAT. 1. ssh exe.dev ssh-key add --vm vm ... 2. mac: cat >> authorized_keys 3. mac: ssh -R 1111:localhost:22 vm.exe.xyz 4. vm: ssh -p 1111 user@localhost 5. Shelley happily driving the simulator

A rapidly increasing share of the software I use on a daily basis is bespoke. It makes bugs and papercuts in other software ever more exasperating. Once you've experienced mutable software there's no going back. I think blog.exe.dev/customizing-... may be most important thing ever on the exe blog.
Customizing Shelley, Customizing Software - exe.dev blog
With a coding agent living next to your software, customizing it is as easy as asking. Shelley even rebases your changes onto each upgrade.

As far as I can tell, S3 charges you based on the uncompressed size, but surely they compress. It is a failure of their APIs that uploading uncompressed is easier than compressed. LLM providers will also eventually compress your tokens (eg call out to another model to reduce tool output).

Plugin architectures are awful, right? Either it’s a versioning dependency mess or you’re coding in config files. I’m tickled by how well blog.exe.dev/customizing-... works. The upgrade button does an agentic rebase.

The part about using the exe.dev iOS app to create a VM from a short idea as a replacement for just jotting down a note was a major 💡 moment for me

For an api that’s essentially f: string -> string, the LLM providers have managed to break coding agents at basically every model release.

Dependency-less python3 is my preferred scripting language. Every OS I use ships it. Today I learned that it doesn't include a websocket client. RFC6455 batteries not included.

Conway's Law is alive & well. If you want a Gemini-free experience in a Google product, go to Google Ads. If you want to use a coding agent to set up an ad campaign, good luck; they won't give you an API key.
If you need to look at 1M rows in a browser, you could do a lot worse than DataTables. Whatever you do, do the paging on the client. Better to take the big download latency at the beginning than for every click. blog.philz.dev/blog/page/
Page on the client, really, even for 1M rows

Isn't it ironic that distributing JS programs for the command line is kind of an unsolved problem (install node, which node, etc.), and yet we've been shipping JS programs on the web for three decades!
I’m a big fan of Clickhouse for observability with their otlp ingest and HTTP SQL endpoint (and an agent pointed at the latter). Also keeping an eye on smithclay.github.io/duckdb-otlp/ for the same sort of stack with DuckDB.
