big fan of eza and dust, I like these aliases to have some common commands at my fingertips. I often use the tree command and yes it sometimes goes too deep to actually be useful.
alias lt='eza -T --level=2' # Tree view, 2 levels deep alias ltt='eza -T --level=3' # Tree view, 3 levels deep alias du1='dust -d 1' # Show only 1 level deep alias du2='dust -d 2' # Show 2 levels deep

Claude 4 is pretty impressive, I'm enjoying using it at work and now I'll certainly burn some credits at home.
Also I like this Threadreader thing... may need to look into it

AI has provided a lot of value in my life for sure... but it's still not my favorite piece of technology, and the nearish-term-future certainly has some dystopian qualities to it. AI interviews definitely are in that category and Josh does a good and comical job of highlighting the ridiculousness of it.
I envy no one looking for a job, and I double envy no one who has to deal with AI powered HR solutions...

This has to be the most incredible looking Desktop experience I've ever seen, riced to the nines, more polished than macos, more features than kde plasma, this looks incredible and I want to try it and feel it.

DT says it so well in this video, I've never really been one to shit on software projects, with maybe a VERY small handful of exceptions. The shitting on ubuntu always rubbed me wrong, shitting on flatpak and snap I never got, shitting on systemd because of Leonard Pottering I never got, DT puts it in such good words here. If you don't like it you are probably not the target audience.
If Ubuntu is too bloated, don't try to debloat it, this is not windows, we have options, Ubuntu is one option and so much is intertwined together in something like Ubuntu if you think you want to try to "debloat" it good luck. If you have a problem with Snaps, this is probably not for you. You are probably looking for a distro with more control, probably something that you choose everything for.

Love this post - feels like it vindicates a lot of my opinions (that I've been pretty loud about professionally). I love agile but I HATE Agile... and this helps put years of my feelings into semi-structured text... Agile isn't the problem but it certainly is a broad label for many many problems

Welp I'm not upset the OpenAI deal fell through (I mean probably not great for those at Codeium, but I don't want these big tech firms to keep buying out the competition... So even though I'm not upset about it - I can't say going to Google is my favorite alternative... I'm a windsurf user at home but if the Google deal goes through I may drop windsurf entirely and stick to roo...
Look at me care about who owns my editor when I'll just root myself deeper into vs**** #smh

Always enjoy a good read through someone elses setup. I appreciate the desire for pi clusters they are cute, they seem cheap, but feel a bit overrated (at least for those of us with relatively cheap electricity). I love seeing the refurb "tiny desktops" getting a second useful life in a homelab after they have serve their useful life in the corporate world sitting behind the monitor of some reception desk. These things rock, they are underrated, x86_64, not ARM, so they just work. Until ARM becomes more normalized in the datacenter this is where its at.

Seems like docker is leaning harder into compose - which is great for me as a heavy compose user. I had heard about some of the LLM enablements directly through docker desktop - for example taking fuller advantage of the host's compute power without paying the penalty of the nvidia runtime or something... I can't claim to have followed it all but I heard "run LLMs in docker directly for a bigger boost" and I'm in.
