everything on iOS is just a safari skin

you would be amazed at the amount of middle managers who keep failing upwards in organizations like Amazon

"Git is too hard" is never a good argument to promote the use of a different tool. I use git on the terminal exclusively, never had an issue amending a commit or rebasing a branch, or even dealing with conflict resolution most of the time I just use one of the automatic strategies.

I worked with SVN and I hated it, merging branches and dealing with conflict resolution on SVN was like getting stepped on the balls

I used to work at Amazon, 3-day RTO was not nice but tolerable, 5-day RTO made half of our senior staff leave. my commute to the office wasn't so bad, but my friends had to drive 1+ hours to the office and then pay $26/day for parking which you only get 50% reimbursed.

Amazon touts "frugality" as one of their core tenets but its hard to reconcile frugality with all the expenses of going to the office.

what does "retrofitting" git implies? I am confused by the agent-specific systems bit.

There is no examples or documentation on `CustomLLM` the README file has examples on `SystemLLM` and `OpenaiLLM` but there's no way for us to know if we need to bring in guff files, ollama, hugginface, etc.

Great work! does the CLI support clipboard operations like MacOS' `pbcopy` and `pbpaste` ? I've added it to my stars to keep and eye on the project, GTK4 and wayland support makes it rather futureproof IMO

that is a thing that started under Nadella's leadership, during the 90s it was a different story.

linux compat would've been nice

I was a wave user, barely had any friends in it, but it felt truly revolutionary back then. This started my disillusionment with Google and their products.

Same thing is happening to me this week at Amazon, I'm just not writing a post about it

Amazon likes to force their devs into full stack roles, like they'll hire you for a frontend role and you'll end up writing java. Some teams do recognize the need for specialization, but generally speaking UI at amazon is an afterthought.

Good riddance, there's too many layers of management for a company that touts "It's always day 1", and once you become a manager you can only fail upwards.

after working at Amazon for a couple of years I ended up closing my AWS account

millions of dollars in shitty legacy Java systems

nix is just a package manager, you can install it on other distros, even on macOS. nixOS is the distro based on nix the package manager, hope this helps.

mDNS is superior to UPnP, they just made a compounding sum of bad choices that ended up in a bad architecture. I do hope companies start learning that you can't have suit doing running an engineering company

how did you decided on building for arch and NixOS but not for red hat or debian?

Great project, is there any plans to add linux support?

I work at Amazon, you don't need to follow this steps to use bedrock. You. Are. Shameless

I've been using nextcloud, its been pretty solid, but this project looks good too

I work with web components within a FAANG company, it was a huge mistake and everyone hates it. If your argument for web components is that they're "so intuitive you don't have to learn" then you're lying to yourself.

The website looks nice, the domain is rather unusual, which registrar did you get it from? I used punto.hn but their business model was very weird and required me to eat a $15 wire fee every year on top of the cost of the domain, I dropped them after the first year.

I like a product from Ford, if I own it I have the right to install whatever I want right? Except Ford has no obligation to make their products compatible with other car makers. If I wanted to LS-swap an F150 it would require a lot of technical knowledge, time, and help but it can be done. You can develop your own jailbreaks for iOS it just requires a lot of technical knowledge, time, and help.

This timeless classic now applies to this new gadget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV7ou6pl5wU

a general rule of thumb is that if it was expensive to maintain new its expensive to maintain used

It also means the entire _Continent_ your take is pretty US-centric

I work at a big org and we use Stencil to produce UI kits using web components. In my experience and the anecdotal experience of the people in adjacent orgs that work with web components too: Its still a shit show.
