Nice article and some tenets have been said, such as software engineering is not same thing as programming.

As a long term C programmer and start using go from the early days, really love it's rich ecosystem and portability.

Nowadays, for any backend code, i just let agent to write using go, and for resource constraint environment, i just use rust.

And both have good C interop, and good ffi interface to hook into more higher level language such as Swift/Kotlin if one wnat to develop some mobile Apps

Nice writeup but use legacy phone is really need to do some tuning and hacks, but that's fun to do if one like it.

For me I have a 24x7 running intel gen 11 nuc, i am lucky to get it installed with 32G memory and two NVME disks years ago and cannot image add those memory and NVME disk with much higher price

Just run some docker and VM on that, use cloudflare tunnel or tailscale funnel if you want to expose some service to the wild internet

I recently even find a pixel 5 and passthrough it to the openclaw VM on that nuc, let it browse the X to find some posts and relax me from doom scrolling, though seems timeline still bad and no much valued post find.

try let it to get a brief of france history which being reading a while hit the button and then the brieft jump into my eye

Impressive...

Given gpt 5.5 was very good to me and gpt 5.6 series seems not boost too much, i kinda like the way bake the model weight to the chip, and connect multiple chip to serve the large scale model and allow respin some parts(ROM like?) to do model weight update, maybe this seems sustainable, the future is exciting

Thanks for sharing

I tried some ghostty based terminal and find weird copy/selection issues or maybe I tried too early

Perhaps that because it seems bypass too much layer to get gpu rendering directly

Have a app that use swiftterm currently and want to try libghostty but no time

Turned out there are so many choices for the terminal engine

The clear C ABI sound good to me and will try it if time allows

Great work!

agreed on this.

recently i start to rewrite a core part of one of my iOS VPN app to rust, which previously use fd.io vpp as it's networking core, the original vpp port is 1.5 years ago manually by myself, given i know a lot about how the vpp does and how vpp coroutine and runtime scheduling works.

the rewrite is in good shape and solve many issues such as pre allocated memory heap using mmap apis and some scheduling issue of back2back tcp session terminated in the vpp host stack.

also by addressing the issus, i am now can easily integrated tailscale as a addon interface for moving in/out l3 packets between tailscale and the core.

All those i think cannot be done easily without domain knowledge about those networking and system stuffs.

As a solo app developper for two years mainly for apple platform(previously do networking infra software using C/Go)

After two many trial and fail, now it's quite clear to me that for simple UI I will use swiftUI(such as help sheet or simple toggles), for complex and performance first, I will just use UIKit instead, it save a log of time and actually the imperative UIKit is also quite easy to read and review

the feasibility of review is important because code is not mainly written by agent, though as my understanding of UIKit grows I can smell the bad part and let it rewrite

Feel great to read this type of article on hackernews. Camus died too young, and the current world have enough of evidence of absurdity.

Great idea.

Recently, I’ve decided to get back into blogging. It’s surprisingly easy these days. I already have a domain on Cloudflare, and I had Codex build a simple blogging system for me. I write everything in Markdown, the site is hosted on Cloudflare, comments are stored in Cloudflare D1, and all articles live in the repository as Markdown files. GitHub Actions takes care of publishing automatically and also performs regular backups. To reduce comment spam, I use Cloudflare Turnstile, which has been working really well. For comment moderation, I protect the admin interface with Cloudflare Zero Trust, using email-based authentication, so I don’t need to build or maintain my own authentication system. Overall, the setup has been incredibly simple, reliable, and has required very little ongoing maintenance.

Bought a second hand kindle and love it after near 10 years of my first kindle battery bloated

Still not want to jailbreak it because experience is good and I just share some books to the phone app and it get synced to the kindle device

Love tailscale though, perhaps Need buy some full open source ebook reader with tailscale installed

saw another project based on pre-rust bun and this is another one never use bun and sometimes this make me wonder, are we enter a phase the supply way > requirement or people just build stuffs and not care serious usage anymore?

As a software engineer these days, I can't say i do not use Agent to help work done, but i am really a bit of tired to see so much solutions while not talk about what problem they are trying to really solve

same boat, tried hyprland and it's cool but seems a bit buggy, and switch back to i3 and settle there.

I am using a tiny mini pc j6412 with fd.io vpp(with dpdk enabled) and some customized plugins for pppoe and overlay tunnel, it works quite well

and it's cheap and fully customized, and powerful

For me when building homelab, customizability maybe important

Linux can really unlock old hardware well, and glad it work great on 32bit systems

Recently retired my pc with fx6300 because it take too much desktop space; and just setup a mini pc with j6412, also installed arch Linux, i3wm for desktop stuffs

Also find a old usb Bluetooth receiver make it play some music

It works great and use this new setup to get a Agent free experience

this is impressive, even with claude i think the guy have enough deep understanding of the OS and the varioius topic make it works

recently i also rewrite most of the app's underlying core function to rust, just like the guy do for the phone

perhaps i should also do more stuffs given codex reset too quickly

recently I bought my 8 years old a cheap new cassette player as a birthday gift which I want to get when I was child

Turned out he really love it and I also bought more cassetee as requested from him, and the cost of those cassetee seem surpass the player itself

What I find the child seems feel more real if the music play from some gears instead of digital ones, and he know well how to use and find a track in the middle

I also want to buy a new cd player which is also I want when I was youth...

Maybe people are just tired of the streaming and I also find that there seems to be a surge of new album and music in youtube music now, the album's cover seems being generated by AI, and maybe also the music itself is generated by AI

this should be documented with highlight to prevent anyone trying to leak some personal information.

i never did some wasm but seems it runs quite fast on my macmini m1

that said, the limit impact perhaps is only affected multiple users in tailnet if the ACL is not configure correctly

As single tailnet+single user, perhaps it's just okay

pure logic error, the undergoing tailscale rust rewrite can't help this too:)

>>> We would like to thank Anthropic and Ada Logics for reporting this issue.

it seems anthropic also use tailscale or it's just being discovered by the mythos model?

This resonate with me a lot

Recently I am seriously thinking the time when agent do the work and I was waiting for it's output, I got a bit lost given it really can do a lot but it make me feel some crisis as a human, even it still can provide me a sort of Joy because some task I long want to do but no time to start can be finally take shape, but the Joy is actually not comparable with the Joy when I read the code and hack with it

Concretely, I am letting agent to write some serious part of code to rust and I will consider only let Agent to handle the UI and integration stuffs, and I will take the rust part and rust is a language that I want to learn and be professional given I was do lots of C coding

> Back to Zig, Zig has a really polarizing specific stance on what it does from technology, to community management and funding to PR, blog posts and how they talk. I don’t agree with all of it but I so respect that they are unapologetically weird. So I continue to support them financially and use their technology because I support people trying to be their own person.

I read the full articles and always like what Mitchell trying to express, the above is an example

Bpi does a nice job on open source hardware and openwrt integration, but only 2 ports in this model is really good?

Just update my bpi-r3 purchased years ago from 24.x to 25.12, it need a bit of extra work because the sfp interface is renamed(though I never used that), and i finally just do plain sysupgrade only and add some required packages because i run a customized fd.io vpp build on the bpi-r3, connected via vhost-net backed tuntap, it works well, I never regret bought this machine, with current agent stuffs, i think bpi r3 model may be more fun to play with

This remind me of collegue life while enjoying on some Linux forums, good old days

I always feel lost in social media those days, especially when X got bought by Elon Musk and premium users start to generate CONTENT(*) to get traffic and revenue

Forums is just for some hobbist and it have didived content by channels(I almost forget what's the name) and have some highlight posts upvoted by users, that's really good stuffs

How we get to this state I do not know, but a clear signal is that my classmate those days works on a startup that build app for forums by using some forum's API or customized solution, but seems mobile App goes fast and they lost the track, so perhaps forum get lost with emerge of Apps and user just stick to Apps and social media is also sort of Apps people get sticked(Addicted) to

This is cool and impressive

Recently I also started to port fd.io vpp to rust for my app with help of codex

A clear interface and well defined test case is must to make the rewrite successful

Will people really need a bunch of different agents? Even using two codex session for different project make me feel a bit overwhelmed, or may be i just old

As previously C system programmer, I barely use IDE, cli agent for coding and desktop codex for various non coding tasks. Nowadays settled to codex/gpt5.5 and it does really good job

Nice write up about Emacs, ruler-mode is a thing I never used before.

Recently I finally start to C-X M-x to do text scaling, the typing is hard even as near 2 decades user of Emacs.

I do not have the luck to get access to computer in my childhood. But the articles still make me feel nostalgia, especially the sound. With limited resource, people at that times just create some good stuffs.

Oh no, I am just adding codex integration to my app with in-app tailscale networking, communicating with codex app server via websocket over tailscale

But I will still consider to release it anyways
