- Be me - Buy a cute retro gaming handheld (Anbernic 476H) - Load up all the best games of my youth (FF 1..n) - Play a lot. It's so fun. Play on the bus home from the work - Accidentally leave it on the bus today 😭 I can buy another but would need to start the games over from scratch. Gutted

New project from GitHub Next! Chopin is a real-time, multiplayer, agentic planning environment designed to align your team. Our current planning tools feel static, lonely, and drown us in walls of text. How can we make planning feel interactive, shared, and visual? githubnext.com/projects/cho...

Every time I see someone showing off their 3d printing setup and they just have rolls and rolls of filament sitting out there naked, on shelves, I console myself with the fact that while they may have sensible humidity levels, I probably enjoy better weather overall, bah humbug

The year is 2062¾. Humanity has learned how to travel in time. The inventors meet to discuss where it must be used. A heated discussion ensues, until one researcher stands up, slaps the table, and asserts "no. We have to prevent humans from learning to write. It's the only way to be sure."

✨ New post! "Knowledge compressor" We're all writing more specs. Pretty soon they add up to real tokens! How can we get rigorous about compacting that context in a way that doesn't impact model understanding? githubnext.com/posts/knowle... Discussion on HN: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4943...

Finally got around to mending the torn load lifter straps on my backpacking bag. One was torn and one fraying, so i cut them both off cleanly, cauterized with a lighter, made new straps and sewed them in with generous bartacking, then wrapped it up in tenacious tape. Proud of my handiwork tonight!

If GitHub is to get to a better place it won't only be on the back of adding nines. It will be because we figure out meaningfully better patterns for the agentic era.

Frustration dunks are more about your frustration than they are about what's true or what's good. Your frustration is not imagined. When GitHub is down, it is down for us just like you. Just remember that the folks at Next is made of people who give a shit — just as much as you do.

The mission of GitHub Next is to figure out how to make software dev better, not fix the fire du jour (which, man, hugops to all the engineers). Dunking on that won't lower the infra pressure. Stopping our research won't speed up efforts to break apart services into more horizontally scalable things

It does work well, and at the same time, it can be nontrivial to deal with orders-of-magnitude jump in traffic imposed by agentic software development. Both can be true at once.

I am wondering if in the future it will be: - my agent and your agent sharing a task (agents end up being everyone's very personalized avatar in the creative space) - we are communicating within earshot of multiple agents who do work (they are not intrinsically linked to either of us)

There should be a zero-width joiner that allows me to flip any emoji directionally. Like I want 🤞 to have a horizontally mirrored variant so I can emoji "both fingers crossed" but have it look like a left and right hand instead of two right hands

The only bit of hilarity in this entire story is that Netanyahu is clearly wearing a face that says "who is this guy with me right now? Something about AI? Take the fucking photo already"

010

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

I can't remember someone got publicly canceled like this with such zeal and vigor. Can you? Ever? What was special this time.

200

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

Just skimmed the text of the replies and they're all variations of "OMG Guillermo in a photo with the most evil human on earth" (not even hyperbole). Netanyahu is a piece of shit but not for the reasons most people think they ought to despise him. What's actually toxic is that he represents Israel

000

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

And — perhaps this was the wrong thing to cancel him for. Instead of eliciting a shrug people were shocked, shocked, he was photographed with the devil. Nobody canceled Tim Cook, who stood with Trump and gave a whole fucking speech from the Oval. Or any other business leader who pandered.

200

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

Anyone who doesn't want to use Vercel could have moved already. I'll believe "will it stick" when it comes to pass. 🤷 Somehow, this image of Guillermo fawning over Netanyahu (like anyone hopeful of making a sale) ended up being the bogeyman that… resonated.

100

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

the casual way with which people throw the term "genocide" around was insulting a year ago, now it is the standard tiresome reflexive reduction of this conflict. Netanyahu is a piece of shit AND warfare is not genocide. May you and yours never know war.

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

Edit: I don't mean _you_ you. I'm tired and angry and sad. But the fact that this logic computes for anyone at all is gobsmacking.

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

Case in point "just" Trump was, as you say, not enough. But as soon as Israel is involved, very different story. "Gives them permission?" You get that you're like "ah well see now that Israel is involved it's acceptable to be a bigot" I'm out of this conversation, as it leads to nothing good.

110

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

x.com/rauchg/statu... I didn't see people cancel Vercel then, so it's not like people are applying some consistent set of values. Anything Israel related gets a special, separate yardstick, and I'm tired of watching it go by in my feed and biting my tongue, but I fell off the wagon by accident.

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

Bibi is an odious liar who would sell his own mother to keep his ass in his seat. Guillermo likes to fawn at people in power, including other odious people like Trump. So do I think it has special meaning that he posted a selfie with Netanyahu? No. It's a means to an end (fame) for him.

010

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

Whut? I genuinely don't follow. But you're right, I violated my rule of no politics on bsky, and should have known better

100

Idan Gazit @gazit.me · 30/09/2025

If you didn't think Vercel was icky for being a brofest but you think vercel is icky because Guillermo met Netanyahu, that says more about you buying into the fashion of hating on Israel because it's fashionable to be seen doing so.

I mean, from my perch within the org, big shrug. The challenges inside GitHub are very GitHub. The maladies within Microsoft are very different. I'll be worried when we start importing maladies from the mother ship. Otherwise, my primary source of cantankerous cursing is about having to use Azure
