This.
Regardless of the fact they did this to themselves, I would understand slow CI/web pages (and they are, indeed, slow). But GitHub is now riddled with incredible logical bugs that can only be explained with reckless vibe coding.

like the “AI" part is just a smoke screen to do something really stupid and point at all kinds of advertising materials and pretending to be the victim.
and looking at the “wah wah we used flagship wah wah"… I'm having a gut feeling that the smarter the models become, the better they will get at a) convincing themselves any means are justified and b) finding adversarial ways to achieve whatever they want

“begging stochastic systems to be good boys is not a security strategy” exhibit ♾️
What really grinds my gears is how a whole industry chose to forget the 101 of ops security. This is not an “AI" problem, this is gross negligence by cloud providers like Raleway pretending "having evals" is an acceptable defense against catastrophic data loss & users having production tokens of any kind lying around such that an attacker (or misguided agent) can find it.

I’ve found myself feeling unmoored by the current crop of FOSS contributions. I genuinely don’t know how to proceed.
Of course there’s the slop where the PR checklist gets deleted & almost all items violated. The truly annoying part about this is that I always try to be kind & not a stickler about policies. I guess I don’t owe kindness to a bot, but it’s a bad look to be assertive in public. (1/5)

Also pretty sure this constant glitch is somehow caused by Safari
https://hynek.me/til/macos-window-focus-desktops/

2025-10-19 10:31:14 UTC

The main reasons for me to use Safari on macOS despite being behind on web standards is integration with its iOS siblings and performance.
However: bookmark sync is unreliable and relatedly reading list is so janky too that I switched to GoodLinks. And somehow the UI gets increasingly sluggish until I restart it like an old Windows system.
I guess it's time for an experiment.

Watching the frustratingly fruitless fights over the USEFULNESS of LLM-based coding helpers, I've come down to 3 points that explain why ppl seem to live in different realities:
Most programmers:
1) Write inconsequential remixes of trivial code that has been written many times before.
2) Lack the taste for good design & suck at code review in general (yours truly included).
3) Lack the judgement to differentiate between 1) & FOSS repos of nontrivial code, leading to PR slop avalanche.

IOW: for everything I create, I have to hate the fact that it doesn’t exist more than the process of creating it. That’s why I don’t create that much. 😅

James Jani is one of the best serious YouTubers out there and he burned out. So far, so common.
What I find interesting is something what he says that doesn’t resonate with me at all: “you gotta enjoy the process”
For me, I’ve NEVER enjoyed the process of creating ANYTHING.
I always:
1. wanted something to exist (sometimes out of spite 😇),
2. hated every second of making it happen,
3. enjoyed that it exists.
Guess there’re 2 types of creators. 😅

I’m seeing a lot of „lol remember mastodon?“ and „I tried mastodon and it never clicked so I went back to twitter but I can’t do it anymore“
Their hate might be a memory from 2022 but that doesn’t make it less real or the reasons ppl bounced off back then less relevant. We can’t even tell them that „Mastodon is good now“ because zero of the major problems from 2022 have been solved.

2024-11-14 05:23:52 UTC

It's very on-brand for Mastodon to turn even more obnoxious & sanctimonious as we watch Bluesky sucking in tech Twitter.
Ppl KNOW that Mastodon exists—& they hate it. The reasons why they hate it have been known for years but nothing has been done about it.
Being condescending to users for wanting to be hand-held or have effective protections against the very reply guys that are going around scolding the impure is just proving them right.
No amount of dirt-digging on Bluesky will change that.

bugs aside, it doesn’t support dependency groups for uv pip and it doesn’t support dynamic versions in project mode (uv lock/sync)
that’s a double-whammy that makes it impossible to use for FOSS except as a faster replacement for pip.
also uv tool/uvx doesn’t support inheriting dependencies which makes it impossible to run Ansible which is kinda a big deal

I don’t think y’all quite grok what uv makes so special due to your seniority. The speed is really cool, but the reason Rust is elemental is that it’s one compiled blob that can be used to bootstrap and maintain a Python development. A blob that will never break because someone upgraded Homebrew, ran pip install or any other creative way people found to fuck up their installations. Python has shown to be a terrible tech to maintain Python.

Given how much of Python’s ecosystem nowadays depends on Rust, I don’t consider that a valid argument anymore. As Jacob wrote in the initial post, it’s a thing now wherever we like it or not. uv is neither the first nor the last and it shouldn’t be held against it. I’m pretty sure Hatch has a Rust component nowadays too.

As much as I hate VC, I find this whole genre of pearl-clutching around uv weird. FOSS projects flame out all the time too. If Frost loses interest, there’s no PDM anymore. Same for Ofek and Hatch(ling).
I fully expect Astral to flame out and us having to fork/take over—it’s the circle of FOSS. To me uv looks like a genius sting to trick VCs into paying to fix packaging. We’ll be better off either way.

I don't have anything and I'm unlikely to produce anything, because after virtualenvs and src dirs, I have no interest to be prominently in a Python culture war it’s just too fucking exhausting. I'm only talking to you about it because we’re mutuals in the first place. ;)

virtualenvs are the closest we have in Python to a build artifact. They’re well-documented, widely tested, & can be deployed both as Docker containers, distro packages, or just an rsync. uv even brought back relocatable venvs so you can move them around!?
I see no semantical reason to keep the application outside of the virtualenv—it makes deployments weirder & more complicated to reason about (cue PYTHONPATH).

Well, I wish we would make the good thing easier instead of enabling sloppiness, but 🎶 maybe I’m just a dreamer 🎶

I don’t know man, this looks a big step back. There’s no reason for Django apps to not be properly packaged. I understand why they did it (if you want to go big, you have to support sloppy patterns), but it’s a loss nevertheless. :(

I got nerd-sniped into writing my take on prod-ready #Docker with uv!

the uv bug tracker sure feel like a place where history is made right now

The funny thing is that most of it was there for a while, they just didn’t talk about it. For example due to my GitHub Actions I’ve run into uvx months ago. :D

I mean: cross-platform lock files! They seem to have already implemented @npub1nmm…0f6a ‘s in-dev PEP!? Single-file scripts! Workspaces! uvx!

Astral’s uv 0.3.0 announcement is a great example of how @npub1ttn…ahw4 once told me: “you’d be surprised what you can achieve in 8h / day”:

have you checked the jumper configuration??

beautiful
On macOS, `pipx run --python 3.12 mopup` is so much better than any of the on-demand builders and their various weird failure modes. Even standalone-python has failed on me in practice due to the way it’s compiled.
My favorite feature remains that it’s a universal build with a force-x86 binary called `python3.12-intel64` that makes it easy to create virtualenvs that are guaranteed to be Intel-base (and not ARM).

A current pet peeve of mine is people claiming that one starts one’s programming journey with simple code, then somehow evil OOP and even more evil patterns come along and make everything super complex. But fortunately at the end is enlightenment and simple code again. (1/6)
