except the fact that claude code in plan mode does destructive operations, requiring a hook to tell it not to do stupid things, so its not really a "read only" or "dont code yet" tool, imho.

Yes, the "okay if you want to disable AI, we're going to remove non-AI features" paradigm that Gmail is also doing.

I've been working on a demo database project, and have been really impressed by the UI. So glad they decided to put more effort into it, it has made building a "follow along" tutorial really nice.

it's been trash for years, their status page just doesn't reflect that.

so many ridiculous "how the fuck did this get through basic QA?" issues with Claude Code.

I can't believe how many critical bugs fall through.

My favourite one is the bug where Plan mode can execute destructive commands inadvertently.

Then all these get closed with `Closing for now — inactive for too long. Please open a new issue if this is still relevant.`. Awesome.

If I ever need anything more advanced than what Forgejo is offering me, I'd reach for Gitlab, for sure. :-)

Will give it a go! Thanks for tooting! You've just made my afternoon!

I would love to use something that isn't GitHub for code hosting.

Codeberg sounds great, but from using it day-to-day, it's really slow sometimes, and frequently times out (from Perth, AU, if it matters). This is not just the SSH protocol for git pushes, but also for browsing.

(I do have a self-hosted forgejo (came from gitea), it's great, Postgres database backs up, files are easy to backup, it's also git so I can just mirror it elsewhere as well.). I love their self-hosted runners is super simple to host.

Bit random, but for code search, does anyone have any recommendations?

My current process is to just `git clone <REPO>` onto my server, then use ripgrep (Can't beat good ol' plain text search).

The result is that this is hundreds of GB -- I like to clone everything I use, dependencies etc, to then be able to look at source code. (I use quite a few languages/ecosystems, and sometimes reading the source code is the best way to figure something out).

I've tried Sourcebot (just for the code search, I don't care about "MCP"/"AI") etc, but was wondering if anyone has recommendations.

GitHubs code search is great, but it doesn't find everything, and it is also incredibly rate limited (annoying when trying to narrow something down, and you then get rate limited). I use this when trying to figure out random Apple issues - someone somewhere has figured it out usually.

php7 was such a great time period for PHP, honestly lots of great experimental projects around that time too (HHVM before that, etc).

nextest is one of those things I never have to think about, because it always "just works" and I have no dramas with it. <3

Bandwidth cost is also another major reason.
