Thoughts

What is this?

Jujutsu doesn't require more mental overhead than Git -- it requires less. Parking work, switching context, and producing focused PRs all become easier when the tooling handles the bookkeeping. ?
The problem with Reform isn't their stated goals but their proposed means: unethical, unlikely to work, and used to justify the means themselves. Untested parties can promise utopia at no cost. ?
How to configure the Gradle Enterprise plugin in a user-scope init script, so you get build scans for every project without committing the terms-of-service agreement into published code. ?
A driving analogy for why LLM-generated text deserves specific rules: just as we ban drink-driving rather than only 'dangerous driving', we can target LLM spam directly because the output contains no more information than the prompt. ?
The Brother MFC-L3550CDW just works over Ethernet via IPP and mDNS -- no driver installation needed. Network printing has quietly gone from dark magic to plug-and-play, and works better on Linux than Mac or Windows. ?
Wishing browsers could delegate TLS termination to a proxy the way servers delegate to CDNs -- transparently, without MITM. Current alternatives like Cloudflare's zero-trust require replacing the OS certificate store, which is too close to black-hat interception. ?
The real progress used to happen at the coffee machine after presentations. In a remote world, make the presentation a pre-read document so the actual discussion happens in the actual meeting. ?
Site metadata like titles and descriptions are now generated with GPT. The output is committed to the repository, not generated dynamically, and is subject to review before publishing. ?
LLMs are deterministic in principle -- the model is immutable at inference time. Non-reproducibility is a design choice, not an inherent property, and a deterministic API would be technically possible even if expensive. ?
