Caleb Owens @cto.je · 27mI was wondering if you isolate the taste of lavender if it has a particular flavour that you would be more picking up on. Upon googling it, I've been informed that lavender tastes of "Light Purple"... Thanks internet. 000
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 27mI've got a Kenyan coffee of SL28 & SL34 varieties, and one of the tasting notes is "Lavender", which I'm not sure I'm picking up on. In most cakes and treats that I've had which are lavender "flavoured", it's been primarily an aromatic experience rather than taste. 100
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 01/10/2026New cafec deep 27 brewer is out for delivery. I'm in the mood for my second cup of coffee... do we keep waiting for the delivery, or make a cup of coffee now? 000

Caleb Owens @cto.je · 25/09/2026I just seem to have wondered upon a bunch of juicy drama between lix and nix. discourse.nixos.org/t/lix-an-ind... 110
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 25/09/2026The universe is calling my name. I've got a couple hours at the airport. I'll give nix on macos one last go. 110
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 25/09/2026The http 1.1 spec is so cute. `http://example.com` is valid `http://example.com/` is valid `http://example.com?foo=bar` is not valid `http://example.com/?foo=bar` is valid For some reason query parameters _must_ come after an absolute path. 000
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 25/09/2026It sure does feel like a monomorphism. I should get someone to teach me category theory at some point instead of just pretending 001
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 25/09/2026I've got an `.or` method that returns `Either<A, B>`, but in a good amount of cases `A==B`, so I do `.or(...).map(Either::unify)` which really does what it says on the tin. But... it would be nice to have a method that does that in one... would that be a `.mono`? 100
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 14/08/2026I'm informed that `but agent setup` is better with a fancy customisation flow. 010
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 12/07/2026The free software movement started with an idea: anyone should be able to make a computer do what they want. AI is making it possible for people who never saw themselves as programmers. I built keepsake.sh for this new kind of builder. What would help you build?keepsake.shKeepsake — Save points for projects you build with AIKeepsake keeps a copy of your whole project every time it’s working. If the AI takes a wrong turn, you go back to the last good one instead of digging through version folders. 131
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 14/02/2026What you say is fair and what I'd say about another tool! Only time will truly prove our intentions 010
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 14/02/2026Hi! Our intention is to build team collaboration and review tooling that can work in addition to the client which will be our paid for products. The `but` CLI and desktop app are licensed under the FSL-1.1-MIT license so you're welcome to fork after a 2 year period if we go off the rails 😜 120
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 05/02/2026Hey! We hear you. One of the things we've been working on behind the scenes has been supporting working on a single checked out branch. 100
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 09/01/2026What do tailwindcss's products offer as benefits over contracting a designer or using one of the many open source projects that seem to fill the same niches? 010
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 31/12/2025For a good minute you had me quite concerned that I was going to go back to Berlin without any water. TBH, I'm a little surprised how I missed this last year though... 010
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 18/12/2025Currently debugging a scenario & it's been sooo long since I've pulled out `git rebase -i --rebase-merges`. Before I had parallel branches I probably ran this command 3 times a day. 000

Caleb Owens @cto.je · 03/08/2025The folks over at @brew.sh are awesome. I was going through the process of reporting a bug that I have been noticing for the last couple months, only to realise that at the very end of writing my report - that it has been fixed 🤦♂️🎉. Keep up the great work! 000

Caleb Owens @cto.je · 11/02/2025Sitting in Marrakech at the end of the first day of the @gitbutler.com summit, looking up at the stars, listening to the wildlife chirping quietly, and breathing in the clean air. This is something that I truly miss now that I'm living in the city. 030

Caleb Owens @cto.je · 07/02/2025Hey, does anyone in Berlin have an apartment, flat-share, or nice couch available for rental? My rental is ending at the end of the month, and despite my immoScout scraping efforts, failed to join any viewings. Thanks 011
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 07/02/2025High quality development at @gitbutler.com. (The changes getting deployed are on some systems that are not yet in general access) CC @scottchacon.com 150
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 30/01/2025Each time I put register interest in a new apartment the form makes me state that I don't have/want a Hamster, and each time I say "no" it's making me want a Hamster more and more 🥹 010
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 29/01/2025I am aware that nix can be used for this sort of thing, but when I tried it out, it felt a little heavy handed for my taste 000

Caleb Owens @cto.je · 28/01/2025This little tool is a utility for cloning a set of git repos from a config file based on a specified profile. I use it as an alternative to including the repos as submodules, making them easier to work with. 000

Caleb Owens @cto.je · 27/01/2025ARRrrrrrggggghhhhh bun.js requires processors to have AVX instructions available. There seems to be a pretty obvious build target, but compiling it would require downloading half a million dependencies that I'm not too keen on having on my computer 000
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 27/01/2025Got myself an old thinkpad x200, but there was a "supervisor password" set. Good thing a guide from over 13 years ago has my back! Just short out three pins on an eeprom chip and you're off to the races web.archive.org/web/20220424...web.archive.orgX200 000
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 18/01/2025I'm able to have differences between my work & home config by changing what profile is specified in $SHERMAN_DIR/CURRENT_ENV. 100
Caleb Owens @cto.je · 18/01/2025It's not my home directory, but I do all my computing inside that folder, so it may as well be. Having your home folder as a repo has a bunch of downsides, like having to constantly manage large gitignore files. It is also less portable. 100
