Sharing a great read today: Some of the takes are on the extreme end, but like most IT decisions, you can dial the pain to exactly what you want. ^C

textlog runs on a 2.5€/mo vps 1 core/2gb ram, using just one instance of Bun with its embedded SQLite. Works perfect and I run a few other apps as well on that machine.

It is quite amazing what you can run in those small VPSes if you just build with them in mind.

Yeah, it survived being on 1st page of HN for a day just fine! Snappy, didn't sweat at all.

I wonder how much data Apple is transferring today. I used to download from a BBS Apple II software overnight on a 2400 baud modem. What a trip.

"Everything worth doing is worth doing badly." Meditate even if you have the time, even if you can only do two minutes. Train even if you're tired and you're not gonna do it well. Start that project even if you're not ready. Don't wait for perfection.

Team vim, team emacs, or team “my editor doesn’t start wars”? One line, no essays. Go!

Thanks, I use a Kinesis Advantage 2 and it’s a big help. I’ve found avoiding holding down keys, with thumbs or otherwise, has been the biggest help.

Zed with vim bindings when I'm not using a terminal. Neovim when I am.

replied to:

vim/neovim with vim keys everywhere else -- once you learn it text editing with any thing else feels slow

replied to:

Team vim, it still works even in the worst internet connection. Saved my ass many times during emergencies.

Team vscode with spacemacs bindings, but I kinda do wanna be team nvim in the future

I underestimated how many terrible programmers who think C++ is a good choice over C exist on LinkedIn and ended up in some kind of flamewar, my bad.

I'm really interested to play around with textlog for a bit. I miss the space that once was Twitter and its constraints. Let's see if we find any users here ... ;)

The TPMS indicator came back on again today; on the same road, can you believe it? I might have to get it checked at Costco this weekend.

How can I change an organisation with hundreds of frustrated employees, when I can’t change my own life with only one person. Does a different person run a company and a different person live their life? I doubt it.

replied to:

I think so, actually. My wife runs my household, I run my engineering org. As I get older I do see the two aspects of my personality start to merge but they are still divergent and were much moreso in my earlier years.

and to be clear, I don't mean that I offload all the work to her by any stretch. It's just that I'm much more outspoken and opinionated on the specifics of work life versus home life.

I read Still trying to figure out the boundaries of these tools' strengths without outsourcing important thinking, problem-solving, and the collective building-up of a mental model of the systems we're developing. The shape of LLM tools as tools—fit for a purpose, ergonomic—is becoming clearer, and human patterns of behavior with them that do more harm than good are also becoming easier to recognize.
