I just transferred github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows to github.com/nvm-windows/nvm. Change is on the horizon.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 24/06/2026

yup - there's an issue open for it. v2 is releasing soon. It doesn't have .cmd files anymore.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 18/06/2026

I bet this felt great to make.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 26/03/2026

So this is dragging out a bit and no public announcement yet... but I'm almost done with v2. Pretty sure all these issues will go away.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 19/03/2026

Definitely. So is letting so much stuff linger for so long though. I think I've got a solution w/ an announcement coming later this week or next.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 07/03/2026

I will likely release a 2.0.0 final edition after Runtime releases (fingers crossed Runtime releases this month) for those who aren't ready to transition to Runtime. In the meantime, the options are: - Use v1.1.12 (latest stable) - Build from source

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 07/03/2026

It wouldn't do any good right now. Even if I merge, I won't be able to release. Each release costs me about 6 weeks of admin work confirming Crowdstrike reports and other vulnerability scanner reports. I can't take that on right now. I'm busy finishing Runtime. github.com/coreybutler/...

Good list. One "gotcha". On Windows, I only use `go build -o ...`. Apps often trigger Windows Defender/AV prompts (protected ports/dirs) on each build. Bypassing this requires allow-listing explicit executable names (answer prompt once), but `go run` generates temp filenames on every build.

I stopped following Eero when they integrated with Alexa. Alexa relies on server-side processing, so your data leaves your network or it doesn't work. That was enough for me to say "no thanks". Not sure if there are other privacy concerns beyond that (or maybe a way to disable that nowadays).

I saw a Jason Fried post earlier. He said Jira's charging by the migraine now?

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 24/11/2025

I think the real point here is we should be describing file sizes in DMs (DOOMS) instead of MBs/GBs/etc.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 05/08/2025

Just saw this and wanted to say congrats!

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 26/06/2025

If you're willing to pay, IFTTT has a Twitter follower action (available on the cheapest tier). For a while, I used this to track malware and post webhooks. Worked pretty well.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 15/05/2025

Maybe it's just me, but the number of bot followers I have to sift through on this site is drastically higher than the other site. Anyone else have this problem?

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 26/04/2025

Sure, why not?! I added you... seems like it takes a little while to show up. If you're not on the list by tomorrow, ping me again and I'll try again.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 23/03/2025

Stars are kind of silly, but it still feels good to hit certain numbers. NVM for Windows just crossed 40K.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 17/03/2025

Hopefully in the next week, maybe two. The blocker is ARM64 support. We need an Azure spot instance to compile properly, then link it up to GHA. That should put us back on track.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 11/03/2025

I'll reach out as that part of our effort becomes more tenable. We're laying some groundwork now (thus stretched thin atm). For now, I just wanted to get on your radar and support your return to this effort. There is so much opportunity w/ standalone distro for JS devs!

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 10/03/2025

It's a bit premature, but we're planning to build a universal packaging tool for Node/Deno/Bun (w/ cross-platform installers, code signing, etc) into our product. I might ping you up if we need help. I'd be happy to share feedback too (even if we don't need help).

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 07/03/2025

I just created an automated apt repo manager w/ GitHub+Cloudflare R2. It's a great workflow enhancement, but oh how I long for a better local GitHub Actions dev environment.

Just a reminder this is happening the day after tomorrow!

We're looking forward to having Wes at the @expediagroup.bsky.social office in the domain!

One more last release for 2024: NVM for Windows v1.2.2 was just released to resolve a nasty little bug that prevented nvm install from working if you installed on a drive other than C:\. github.com/coreybutler/...

A lot of work went into this, but it's still a tiny fraction of what's in our pipeline. I'm excited for what's coming in 2025 and I'd love any early feedback anyone has to offer.

The successor project we're working on at @author.io supports macOS too (Linux too, eventually). The pictured notification comes from the small part of the new app that we embedded in NVM for Windows to help begin transitioning folks to the new app. TLDR; there will be a macOS version too.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 12/12/2024

Thanks!! This is just a teeny tiny bit of what we've cooked up for the successor project.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 11/12/2024

NVM for Windows v1.2.0 will have native desktop notifications for @nodejs.org LTS/Current releases, courtesy of @author.io. I'm aiming to release it this week.

I see it as a risk v reward model capping the reward w/o capping risk. Businesses can't earn until someone does the early legwork. The NFP model might work once that point is reached, but I don't see how it gets there to begin with unless there is an imbalanced reward for imbalanced risk/effort.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 07/12/2024

I said profit too. What attracts investment w/o profit? Who seeds a non-profit at that scale on principle alone? Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I can't see anyone rallying enough support to underwrite/establish this. Nothing wrong with profit. The problem is greed.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 06/12/2024

What motivates anyone to provide insurance if there is no profit?

I still need to maintain accounts on other microblogging sites. Anyone have recommendations on tools for auto cross-posting?

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 02/12/2024

I've had this issue with other accounts too and they eventually show up. The problem, for me, is just remembering to check again 😅. I'll try again, but if I haven't pinged you about this by the time the US holidays are over, feel free to remind me.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 02/12/2024

Did you just setup a new bsky handle?

100

To be clear, I want to add people who are actually posting about software, hardware, development, etc. If I scroll through your feed and don't see any tech posts or something about tech in your bio, I'm not going to add you to the list.

Got it - I'm trying to keep the list focused on people posting about tech who happen to be in ATX.

Posting about tech? I didn't see anything on your feed, so it's hard to tell.

100

My pleasure, you're on the list now.

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 28/11/2024

You know what I want on Bsky? GFM markdown support. ```js // I wish this were formatted console.log("this would be really nice for snippets") ```

Corey Butler @coreybutler.com · 28/11/2024

I think that is essentially the goal behind atproto.
