Using a linter doesn't get you noticed by leadership and net you a promo.

Sure it does, just say you "established org-wide coding standards and drove adoption of automated linting tooling, reducing review friction and enforcing style consistency at scale" in your assessment.

Better yet, post about it on LinkedIn and explain what it taught you about marriage proposals!

I just ask Opus to generate the queries for me these days.

Ugh this makes me nostalgic for the days of Q3-era game map making and custom servers. I used to get lost in the various games Radiant variants as a teen building DM and CTF maps for my clans server.

Did you end up going into game dev or just generally software development? I'm always jealous of the people who grew up making maps or game mods, I wish I'd been more motivated when I was younger to do stuff like that.

Software dev. Game dev never really appealed to me. I kind of have an artsy streak inside of me and map making always felt like additive sculpture which is probably why it appealed.

Very interesting. Wonder if this can run Proton for gaming... this looks about perfect.

Azure

> Azure

To explain this one-word comment for those unfamiliar, see previously:

GitHub will prioritize migrating to Azure over feature development (5 months ago) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45517173

In particular:

> GitHub has recently seen more outages, in part because its central data center in Virginia is indeed resource-constrained and running into scaling issues. AI agents are part of the problem here. But it’s our understanding that some GitHub employees are concerned about this migration because GitHub’s MySQL clusters, which form the backbone of the service and run on bare metal servers, won’t easily make the move to Azure and lead to even more outages going forward.


Age-old lesson: change the tires on the moving vehicle that is your business when it's a Geo Metro, not when it's a freight train.

I'm sure the people with the purse strings didn't care, though, and just wanted to funnel the GH userbase into Azure until the wheels fell off, then write off the BU. Bought for $7.5B, it used to make $250M, but now makes $2B, so they could offload it make a profit. I wonder who'll buy it. Prob Google, Amazon, IBM, Oracle, or a hedge fund. They could choose not to sell it, but it'll end up a writeoff if the userbase jumps ship.


Our customers are morons for using our products and dogs are personable but pretty stupid so yea, makes a lot of sense.

Theres no putting that genie back and most people wouldn't want to.

I fucking love OpenCode.

Seriously a need for a new build tool in Java that doesn't fuck around too much.

Check out mill from the link. It’s quite good.

Oh sweet. Former Java dev turned Go dev like a decade ago, this looks close to what I want.

100% this. Ant was bad in many ways, but at least it was lightning fast. Gradle is just tragic.


Ive been working with Linux for 25ish years and have never heard of scrot. I think there's low probability of confusion lol.


Really? That's surprising. I guess if you mostly used it on servers or if you used default GNOME/KDE you might not run into it. It was the go-to screenshot tool for anyone using openbox, i3, most small WMs. A more universal tool than whatever DE-specific thing GNOME would use. You run it from the CLI, but commonly you'd bind a key to run your one-liner(s) of choice. Commonly used to do crop-style screenshots similar to what macOS binds to cmd-shift-4. Tons of people I know were using it for years. It was somewhat overtaken by maim in later years, and then on Wayland replaced by slurp/grim, but I still call screenshots "scrots" a lot of the time.

Same. First time hearing about scrot.
