I just bought a framework 13 pro, going to main that into the ground, 15 years+, with maybe 1 allowed motherboard upgrade in that timeframe, but hoping to completely avoid it and just do repairs and minor upgrades.

This is my biggest problem with agents, they constantly defensively code for cases that have no chance of happening and in most cases a panic/crash if they do happen might be the best option.

I’ve tried to curb this style in them but they just seem not to be able to help themselves.

I assume the quote is referring to libghostty. In which case a lot of different tools like vs code, Emacs, Gvim, Intellij and other IDEs, even web consoles on stuff like Azure essentially use and reimplement the same core, the idea behind libghostty is to replace those with a common component where long term development can better support the needs of all terminals.

In terms of ghostty itself its just a highly competent use of libghostty, Mitchell’s message above about it being a tech demo is tongue and cheek, but its not far off from the truth. It is just a really solid no bells and whistles, bar excellent execution, terminal emulator that uses libghostty.

I have used Opus 5.5, it is great when the shape and outcome is simple and well trodden but as soon as you ask it for something more novel it is liable to drop the ball, and leave you cleaning up the mess. I feel so gaslit by comments like this. What devs do you know that code like Opus 5.5? Are they also marvelling at its incredible output as if they’ve seen God? Maybe the tech industry needed a culling because people really be voluntarily shouting about how terrible they programmed without AI, its embarrassing.

This is the real solution. Having this as a secondary barrier, but just a filter/toggle should be allowed. Problem is the owners of the AI music are sometimes also the owners of the platform so less of incentive to implement such a feature.

Statistically correct more of the time doesn’t equal smarter though. It doesn’t equate to more creative either. Honestly if independent thought was to become extinct due to LLM’s what would be the point of society anyways? We’re not talking about shoes or handbags, we’re talking about the thing that makes us human. So weird that we in the tech industry are so willing to ruin humanity for the sake of a sick IPO.

I switched from Firefox on macos and ios about a year ago when things started to get a bit weird with Mozilla. Safari is a highly capable browser, light weight, great performance on both iphone and mac, and is just a really nice experience overall. If I could use it on linux and windows as well, I would.

I use Wipr 2 for safari on both ios and macos and I’ve had no problems with it, not sure what sites you’re using but blocks on all the ones I use.

Personal Blogpost on my decision to move away from agentic coding, and move towards something that supports my workflow and values without getting too hung up on what's "optimal".

Sorry this happened to you dude. I don’t want to be harsh but, out of the crimes ignored in this era of AI clean rooming, book destroying distilleries and a despondent ostrich adjacent legal system you do seem to be one amongst a deluge of cheated individuals.

Hope you manage to get it sorted but I have no idea how that would go down at this point. I’m sure at least one of them could claim they copied it off the other ones and then you’re shit out of luck.

The things you've quoted and your conclusion feel at odds. They just don't want AI contributions, and they, like a lot of the world, are bored of hearing about AI. Is it really too much to ask?

Strange in what way? Mitchell has also stated that he reviews every line of code that goes into Ghostty so I don't think its quite the same as the Bun rewrite.

He specifically says in that presentation that they are open to LLMs helping them get to bug free, but because the language is still in flux, they would rather prioritise bugs users actually find rather than those found by LLMs, essentially with the intent of unblocking people rather than wasting time fixing things that may need to be fixed again or be wasted work come the next update.

Some of the functionalities in the core/foundation library don’t quite match between operating systems so sometimes you do need to put an “#if os(macos) do” etc, but for the most part its super straight forward working on one or another platform.

In terms of its language features it has all of those and more, sometimes too many in my opinion.

I personally favour languages that are clear in their vision. However at its core Swift is a highly performant language that is designed really well, has beautiful syntax, and in the last 5 or so years I have been impressed with its direction. It is being developed by a good team who listen to their community but not at the expense of the languages vision.

My favourite aspect of using it though is its versatility. Wether you’re working on embedded systems, a game, a web server, or even a static site generator, it always feels like the language is there to support your vision, but still give you the fine grained control you need to optimise for performance.

I also collaborate with a friend who is a Rust developer and he’s always super happy to work on a Swift project with me so I feel like that’s enough praise when you can pull a rest dev away from their beloved.
