I'm sorry for what I said when I was overstimulated.
I've been working on rewriting git-pkgs from Ruby into Go, mostly to simplify the installation by producing a nice simple binary. It also will make integration into @forgejo@floss.social much easier. Along with it I had to remake a whole host of my Ruby software supply chain libraries into Go as well, they all live in https://github.com/git-pkgs now
What do LLMs mean for the future of software engineering? Will vibe-coded AI slop be the norm? Will software engineers simply be less in-demand? Rain and David join Bryan and Adam to discuss how rigorous use of LLMs can make for much more robust systems.In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam...

“I hate complaining about tech” Oh so we’re just lying on the internet now?
Ugh. Found well-phrased GitHub issue exactly explaining my issue 🤩 …with a contributor reply 😍 …saying to ask in Discord 😭
Mat Ryer is back and he brought his impromptu musical abilities with him! We discuss Rob Pike vs thankful AI, Microsoft's GitHub monopoly (and what it means for open source), and Tom Tunguz' 12 predictions for 2026: agent-first design, the rise of vector databases, and are we about to pay more for AI than people?!

Justin Searls quit social media by posting more. How, exactly, did he do that? By writing way too much Ruby code to cross-post his blog to all the social networks using an atom feed of his design.

How do you feel about this promotion and benefit from a memecoin?
Yeah. Him and Huntley have now made tens of thousands and are denying it’s a scam. It’s really difficult to watch.
