I love that changing font size in Ghostty doesn't change the window size like the default Terminal app does. Small details matter.

@chronark_ I love the idea in principle, but sometimes the exact approach in the migration is relevant. Write the up, don’t bother writing the down.

Always feels good to see hard work on a feature culminate in people being excited about the announcement 😀 Amazing work by @kylekthomp on the new retry experience.

If I discover an alternative to Notion that is better at editing text, I'd quickly switch. Core functionality is more important than frills.

Sometimes, the bug actually is in the widely adopted third-party tool. Ran into this one today on our CI/CD platform.

Building a CI/CD platform often gets very meta. New hooks feature coming soon though 😎

I'd take honesty in automated emails any day. Just say, "Hey, this is an automated email trying to schedule a chat." It’s way better than pretending to be personalized by guessing the name of my employer but being wrong by about a decade.

@sqs We have the core capabilities for this in our CI platform at @rwx_research – content-based caching, DAG-based definitions, CLI initiated runs, and semi-persistent infra that sandboxes execution. It either requires modularity in the codebase or massive parallelization though

@JasonSwett We opt in to them, but less than 10% get a traditional review. The other 90% get a cursory security review. Our team is entirely senior engineers though.

@ayaz_hafiz_ We just went through the same realization. Pierre wrote an RFC today for building our own NAT gateway.

@JakeKeuhlen It is nuts. GHA is a great platform but definitely has some rough edges in its UX. If you want more workflow flexibility, dynamic tasks in Mint, the CI/CD platform we built at @rwx_research, makes it super easy. I'd be happy to chat with you about it if you're interested.

@haloboy777 @github @githubstatus Would you have any interest in considering a new CI/CD platform? We built Mint to address many of the common frustrations with GitHub Actions, and the developer experience is impressively good.
Been super impressed by Mint CI/CD by @rwx_research. Content-based caching + parallelism by default. Often faster and cheaper. + Simpler - we have one shared DAG for all CI/CD needs. Team goes hard - thought of a few nontrivial feature ideas and they shipped them in a few days.

RT @ayaz_hafiz_: still blown away every time a merge into main instantly deploys because of @rwx_research Mint's cache hits.

Working on startups is inherently illiquid. It forces concentrated bets, where conventional financial advice would recommend diversifying.
You make money on concentrated bets and bleed it on diffuse ones. Earn on what you know, spend on what you don’t.

@tranceash @GergelyOrosz @rwx_research Dagger and Mint have similar goals but fundamentally different interfaces and ergonomics. Mint is much easier to implement and adopt.
