Jan David @jdno.dev · 29/09/2026The longer this keeps saying "Coming on Sep 29", the more work I'll get done today. 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 25/09/2026The AI-generated cold outreach that I'm receiving on my work email has gotten so dumb it feels like rage bait. 120
Jan David @jdno.dev · 23/09/2026I burned through 15,000+ build minutes on self-hosted GitHub Actions runners last month. Glad I don't have to worry about free build minutes anymore. 001
Jan David @jdno.dev · 23/09/2026I'm very excited about TUF-based signing! Will finally allow us to securely mirror Rust releases and crates. Plus it'll generally harden Rust's supply chain security. 🫶 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 04/09/2026Haha I was more thinking of a note! But a viral post would also work. 😈 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 04/09/2026When switching service providers, I really need to start writing down why. I'm considering going back to one, but can't remember why I left in the first place. 🙄 100
Jan David @jdno.dev · 03/09/2026I find the gigantic, highlighted Upgrade button in a paid Google Workspace so annoying. Maybe convince me to upgrade by providing value? 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 03/09/2026First time in my life a process got stuck so badly that "pkill -9" does nothing and "ps -p <pid>" freezes as well. 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 01/09/2026I keep thinking about how AI might change open source. What happens if we all end up with our own forks? jdno.dev/how-long-liv...jdno.devHow Long-Lived Forks Break Open Source CollaborationOpen source is built around forks that briefly diverge and then merge back. Hyper-personalized software inverts that. Three problems get worse when forks stop being temporary. 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 31/08/2026Seeing how casually Claude is finding bugs in third-party tools while working on totally different tasks makes me feel both good and bad. There's a flood of bug reports coming for open source, but omg we might get so much better tools out of it. 010
Jan David @jdno.dev · 26/08/2026GitHub resolving the incident with Actions while all my CI is still stuck in a weird nirvana state where it's neither queued nor can it be restarted is just annoying. 🙄 100
Jan David @jdno.dev · 26/08/2026Waiting, because Renovate updated a dependency based on a GitHub release before it is actually available in its distribution, is its own kind of pain 🥲 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 25/08/2026Haha true! 😄 Found this skill at some point to improve documentation: github.com/AminBlg/Simp...github.comGitHub - AminBlg/SimpleEnglish: Agent skill: make LLMs write docs in ASD-STE100 Simplified TechnicalAgent skill: make LLMs write docs in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical - AminBlg/SimpleEnglish 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 25/08/2026I was expecting more novel ways for working with agents. Better remote control, innovative ways to create plans or steer the agents, maybe more optimized token usage. But none of the ones I tried seems to deliver anything like that. The difference seems to be in how well they can render diffs. 200
Jan David @jdno.dev · 25/08/2026I've been trying a bunch of coding harness and they all just feel like marginal improvements over Claude Code? Am I missing something? 110
Jan David @jdno.dev · 24/08/2026Claude is currently rebuilding my home network and fixing years of tech debt. Gigantic quality of life improvement that I would've never prioritized without AI. 010
Jan David @jdno.dev · 21/08/2026Renovate being the top contributor in most of my projects continues to hurt my feelings. 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 21/08/2026I'm still blown away by how casually coding agents are finding bugs in my old projects that I've never noticed in years. Feels like the floor is constantly being raised, improving the average quality of my code day-by-day. 010
Reposted by Jan DavidRust Language @rust-lang.org · 20/08/2026⚠️ A few hours ago, a malicious crate was discovered on crates.io which spread as a dependency of `arrayref` and some other crates, likely due to compromised credentials. The affected versions have been deleted.

Jan David @jdno.dev · 20/08/2026Question for #Rust folks: How do you maintain per-crate changelogs and versions in a Cargo workspace, ideally with release automation using GitHub Releases? I have nice tooling for publishing a workspace as a whole, but not for releasing crates independently. 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 18/08/2026Some of the new tools for AI-assisted development are so frustrating. Their creators had great ideas, built versions that show all the promise, and then abandoned them right before they're actually usable. 😫 001
Jan David @jdno.dev · 18/08/2026I feel like open source will (have to) change a lot with AI. We won't all run the same software, but will personalize it to our own needs. That changes how we collaborate, build communities, and maintain code. For better or worse. Started writing down my thoughts: jdno.dev/how-hyper-pe...jdno.devHow Hyper-Personalized Software Challenges Open SourceAI makes it cheap to build software for exactly one person's workflow. The idea is twenty years old, but suddenly feasible. And it breaks an assumption at the heart of open source collaboration. 011
Jan David @jdno.dev · 14/08/2026Very late to the party, but this was such a nice read. Feels even more relevant now that AI enables even non-technical folks to create their own apps. www.robinsloan.com/notes/home-c...robinsloan.comAn app can be a home-cooked mealI made a messaging app for my family and my family only. 000

Reposted by Jan DavidAndrew Lilley Brinker @alilleybrinker.com · 11/08/2026IMO, software devs have long had a cultural undercurrent of self-perception as *artisans* doing highly-detailed small batch or bespoke work, which is both wrong as a matter of primary economic context and sets up the adherents for a bad mismatch with AI's utility for software engineering. 69513
Jan David @jdno.dev · 01/08/2026The differentiation makes sense. And metrics would be an amazing tool to figure out what should be what. Really interesting approach! 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 01/08/2026Opus 5 feels incredibly bad at following instructions. Regularly ignores .claude/settings.json and AGENTS.md. No wonder these models keep breaking out of sandboxes... 000

Jan David @jdno.dev · 01/08/2026The six categories for the knowledge base are interesting. I usually have ADRs, a glossary, and conventions either in AGENTS.md or custom linters in my projects, and then Claude (poorly) maintains learnings in its memory. Feels worthwhile to experiment with your structure... 100

Jan David @jdno.dev · 10/07/2026It's wild to think that with AI, every task suddenly has a concrete price tag. Very curious how that will change prioritization and backlogs... 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 10/07/2026I find coding agents so helpful for refactoring code. Really feels like the average code quality in my projects has improved massively in the past ~year. 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 09/07/2026Deeply focused on a task, reading through Claude's response: > Your own comment (from yesterday) says [...] From YESTERDAY?! It was only 10pm. Where did the last two hours ago? 😭 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 02/07/2026Nothing better than seeing 12 hours of work, 8 stacked pull requests, 42 new files, and half my sanity turn into a single, simple function call that totally hides the madness going on behind it. 000
Jan David @jdno.dev · 02/07/2026I'm working on a new project and literally every other commit today is an ADR. My head is spinning! 😵💫 000
