iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

For all its faults, Linux is the only operating system that makes me feel like it respects me. Windows treats me like an idiot. MacOS treats me like a child.

I'm sorry I didn't learn English from TikTok

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 09/08/2026

Why are these the only options available 😭

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 07/08/2026

I've created a new package called MacBundle ✨ It integrates into your .NET project's build pipeline as an MSBuild task and automatically generates an `.app` bundle to run your application on macOS. Completely plug-and-play. github.com/Tyrrrz/MacBu...

Am I paying for a downgrade?

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 01/08/2026

So one of my mods fell victim to this attack. I got contacted by someone claiming to be them, on a second account, where they asked permissions to delete their old messages.

Discord has an absurdly easy-to-manipulate content moderation system that's constantly used to attack people: 1. Write an innocent message to someone 2. Wait for their response 3. Edit your original message to completely change the context and meaning of the conversation 4. Report the user

There can only be two types of bugs

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 26/07/2026

Cancellation, cancellation, and more cancellation

030

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 26/07/2026

I really dislike the design behind CancellationTokenSource.CreateLinkedTokenSource. It's confusing. You're effectively encapsulating multiple cancellation sources in one instance, yet only control one of them. At the same time, passing that token erases context about any of its parent/base tokens.

The USB controller in my Yubikey 5C stopped working today, ~930 days after purchase. Just a data point to consider.

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 13/06/2026

So many build issues are fixed by: $ dotnet build-server shutdown

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 13/06/2026

It's really annoying that @nuget.org is forcing Trusted Publishing instead of API Keys when the former doesn't work anywhere except GitHub Actions, and even there it's not fully supported.

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 10/06/2026

GitHub updated how their Copilot usage is metered and now I'm all out of credits after only 8 days 😄 Needless to say, my productivity is in the gutter.

I've released Binternal, a development package that lets you turn any external dependency into a private (internalized) dependency github.com/Tyrrrz/Binte...

I use `prime` just because it sounds cool

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 07/05/2026

Honestly, with how many AI-assisted PRs I've been getting recently, I'd implore the authors to just donate me their tokens instead and skip the middleman.

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 03/05/2026

Don't you love it when your open-source project gets external contributions <3

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 30/04/2026

It's painful being a software developer. When someone else's software doesn't work well, it's not enough to just criticize it; we also have to build our own.

060

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 22/04/2026

AI-assisted software development forces me to re-establish my relationship with code. Tasks that used to take days or weeks now take hours, but in the process the code feels... idk, like it's lab-grown if it makes sense.

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 20/04/2026

Also want to take an opportunity to shout out a project of mine that's always been in the shadows: github.com/Tyrrrz/PolyS... It provides polyfills for ~500 BCL APIs, allowing you to write modern C#/.NET code on targets as old as .NET Standard 1.0 and .NET Fx 3.5. I use it in all my libraries ✨

I've decided to aggregate all utilities/extensions I use across different C# projects into a single source-only package. I'm surprised there were so many, but it totals 130 individual files. Feel free to copy-paste what's useful to you. github.com/Tyrrrz/Power...

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 19/04/2026

Glad at least somebody's excited

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 18/04/2026

I really want to use VSCode for .NET development but Omnisharp/C# Dev Kit just fucking sucks. Is there a better plugin out there?

200

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 17/04/2026

Isn't it cool/weird that you can use features like ValueTask<T> and IAsyncEnumerable<T> on a legacy .NET Framework version from 2010?

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 14/04/2026

Where is the line between AI-assisted and vibe-coded?

220

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 10/04/2026

It's wild that this is possible

Single-file command-line apps got even easier with CliFx. No setup or `Main()` method required.

020

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 03/04/2026

CliFx v3 has been released ✨ Now uses source generators instead of reflection. github.com/Tyrrrz/CliFx...

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 29/03/2026

Fun fact: the original benchmarks were taken 5 years ago

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 29/03/2026

2 minutes into using Arch btw

New milestone: got my code broken by Windows Update on CI

Slow day, installed arch btw

Accidentally tapped my security key and ended up with a syntactically valid Rust type definition

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 27/03/2026

Help, how do I charge my files back to full?

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 22/03/2026

The only thing more annoying than AI grifters are the individuals on the opposite end of the spectrum who will instigate a class war if they sniff out that a random boilerplate config file in your repo was not written by a human.

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 15/03/2026

Also, isn't this case/skin just beautiful?

Oleksii Holub 🇺🇦 @tyrrrz.me · 15/03/2026

Main catalyst was the Steam Deck, as I've spent a bit of time tinkering with its SteamOS and got inspired to switch over on my laptop too. Transition was not painless, as I had to spend a whole day getting the language layout, virt. keyb, power options working correctly. We'll see if it's worth it.

I didn't realize my earbuds could connect to multiple devices simultaneously — I was manually disconnecting and connecting them every time. I guess sometimes you have to read the user manual.
