It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! piped.video/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…

You wouldn't believe the hours I spent manually testing and verifying Omarchy releases during the first year. With Prime's stellar work leading the QA effort, we can finally replace all that toil with agents 🤘
Big Omarchy QA News:
The Headline:
* Omarchy QA will start running against nightly every day. Still some huge hurdles to figure out, but that is the fun stuff.
The Meat:
Omarchy QA is going slower than I hoped for, but its getting into place. This is my second fully running agent test harness where they decide what is good.
* A nice running dashboard with cancellable states
* Jobs, suites, servers: have all the possible states and transitions you would expect from build servers. This part was the most surprising as it is really in depth how much effort you have to spend thinking about every possibility
* suite states, live updating website that ... runs fast? Yes I did something crazy... I made a cache, i know, actual crime...
** I even have an idea to make this load instant for every single user, and make updating cache contents LIGHTNING fast...
*** Fun side note. WTF ARE YOU DOING EVERYONE, WEBSITES ARE FUN TO MAKE FAST AND YOU ALL ARE MAKING HORESHIT SITES... STOP.
* ability to follow live running jobs and cancel them
The sad part is I have had no time to get the actual custom harness running fast, which is ok, but its hard. Now, starting today, I am going to be hooking up nightly builds and actually running this against production!
Will think about how to make this a public site, but for now, its private :(

We got picked up in an actual Mercedes at the airport here in Hangzhou. It was gas powered too. Felt like a significant step down from the luxury Chinese EVs I had been in the last few days. Didn't know it was this bad. Damn.
I'd never heard of the Chinese car brand that just drove us back to the hotel in Shenzhen, but the interior was as nice or nicer than a top-spec Mercedes S class and the 20-minute drive was $6. Germany should be very worried indeed.

You'd think the land of the free would have just one major newspaper excited for the most amazing feats of the nation.
Unveiling the Roadster with out-of-this-world technology reiterated that Musk has given up designing cars for regular people to drive. on.wsj.com/3UvugrS

I normally listen to electronic music with few or repeating lyrics when needing to focus, but I've found that a looping Gregorian chant also does the trick! open.spotify.com/track/0xUL1…

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

As much as I respect Chinese-made AI models and hardware, I'm equally puzzled by how rough most of the software still is. Whether it's Wechat or Alipay or HarmonyOS. You'd think getting unique aesthetics, perfect fidelity, and great flows would be "easy", but clearly it is not.

The spells were already spent back in 2024, but there are still little fringe pockets on X hoping they can conjure another magic cancelation.
Maybe if they chant "racist" or "fascist" a little louder than last time, the good old days of 2020 will return? world.hey.com/dhh/the-spells…

Poland would be a great choice for the first European Omacon conference! I feel embarrassed to say I've not yet been. This would be a great excuse to correct that mistake!
🇵🇱 Warsaw is Poland's biggest city and it is completely safe at 1am at night
No violent junkies, no drug dealers, no street thugs hanging around harassing women (and men), no pickpockets (nor in the day btw)
No shady people hanging around the train and metro stations
Just people living chill together and police enforcing safety
You know like we used to in Western Europe?
There's a lot to learn from Poland
