Re:All Abstractions Are the Same on Saturday October 24, 2026 @11:11AM (#50222045)
I disagree. They are all not the same. Do they have similar qualities, characteristics? Of course. But the scenarios are where we see the differences.

Thinking that they are all the same will only get you so far. Maybe it’s far enough to create value. Maybe it’s not. Your call.

Not really. Is it stopping your work?
I was going to leave no feedback, which is feedback. But no feedback is the absolute worst.

The technical implementation sounds cool. But I’m trying to imagine scenarios for the team emails with the Cloudflare hosting requirement.

My current client has a team inbox (accounts payable). But they use Microsoft. So outlook and exchange. I love Cloudflare, but in my experience have never seen it used more than for routing in “enterprises”.

Re:Mesh – a P2P Git daemon and issues and cicd on Monday June 22, 2026 @09:32AM (#48629894)
I used Claude to build a p2p git daemon on top of git's HTTP facility. We needed to share and collaborate on our code and hadn't gotten our own sub-group on GitLab. So we used this while waiting. It turned out to be amazing. And I love it.
Yeah. I was imagining all the phones connected to each other like those spam farms.

Re:Local Git Remotes on Friday May 29, 2026 @11:14AM (#48324173)
I love reading articles like this. It's kinda of a slap in the face – "hey guys, you know that thing you've been doing for decades, well for decades you've had this ability to do it with your own stuff if you just spend a few human brain tokens on it".

btw, Git also supports the HTTP protocol ...
