I have accidentally adopted a bull. Or perhaps he adopted me. My property has a bit of land and one day a random bull turned up on there. I asked all the local farmers and nobody was missing a bull. Guess he's mine now. I named him Kevin, after the Home Alone kid.

@shriramk Stereotypically, after using JJ you either become a JJ hater or a JJ evangelist. I'm afraid I'm starting to see why...

@shriramk I think you should try out Jujutsu VCS! Switched to it this summer and never went back: https://maddie.wtf/posts/2025-07-21-jujutsu-for-busy-devs

@jaredwhite I'm a bit confused how a client can demand "it [Claude Code] to be integral to all code going forward" to a developer. Are they demanding that you use Claude Code to write all of your code? But then, why should they care about the process as long as you can get the job done?

After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!

Long before vibe coding platforms deleted your production databases, GHC deleted your code if it failed to typecheck.
The ultimate production incident awaiting its ultimate practitioner.
