This is a pretty big change for module authors and contributors, but should have little impact on users upfront. The major wins will be seen in more relevant version bumps to modules you actually use, which will cut down on irrelevant CI builds for modules you don't use.

Happy to share a prerelease of the upcoming guardrail 1.0.0, available via `sbt-guardrail` 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT`. The biggest change is stabilization of the internal ABI between guardrail core and various modules, as well as opt-in dependency on module providers. [1/3]

every developer is taught that to access an array, you write array[index]. but in C and C++, you can just... flip it. this code compiles perfectly and runs without a single warning. how the hell does 2[myArray] work?👇

@Jonathan_Blow The expectation built over years is stuff that barely works from an industry who has consistently failed upwards, propped up by hardware getting faster to compensate.

Theory: We don't let LLMs control robots and operate freely in the physical world (yet?) because they'd fall all the time, break everything, and cause massive damage. But in software the falling and the massive damage are invisible, so it's fine. x.com/sama/status/20…

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

Thanks to @audibledata — what was formerly landrun-nix now supports macOS through sandbox-exec. You can run (for example) Claude Code in a sandbox, with fine-grained configuration in Nix. Introducing sandnix github.com/srid/sandnix

"[We modeled a generic bay area tech company's org structure in prompts, then asked it to solve a problem, removing the human factor from organizational failures.] It bikeshedded anyway. 87% code review rejection rate. Zero tests executed across nine "verification" stages. A 28-second governance conflict where two AI agents overruled each other.  22.6% of budget wasted on rejection cycles that produced nothing." I dunno, seems like it's getting pretty close to experiences I've had. linkedin.com/posts/jandrewm…

A lot of developers focus on (1) - (2) while ignoring (3) - (4). Which is a fancy way to say, 'Not my fault'. As an individual, you may have ZERO input into system engineering or upstream services. Don't ignore what you can fix, even if you think it's the other guy's fault.

@mitchellh @ryantm I think it's hilarious that I am waiting on every single keystroke to be rendered into any given comment box in GitHub. Just turn it all off and give me a `<textarea />`, I'll do fine.

@JustDeezGuy I experimented with recording a busy coffee shop in Japan as white noise, can confirm.

I'll bite -- Airbnb in Tokyo, we expected accommodations to be cramped due to the city, but what we didn't anticipate was the bed being a sheet draped over a piece of plywood supported by 2x4s. We checked in so late after our flight we figured we'd just suffer through a night, my wife woke up with bruises all down her side.

@jtgi @RhysSullivan @wander @guardrail_dev Well, the industry isn't evenly distributed. Those that needed it were drawn to it. I'm happy for there to be different levels of software development, folks can reach for different tools as they grow and learn.

A sneak peak into the upcoming blog on how we built the new domains page & how Effect is used on the frontend in it This is our error handling for the add to cart button, in most applications this would be an API call and then an error toast if it fails In ours, we know exactly what all of the possible errors are and for the most common ones, we are able to add in special logic to help recover the user or give them information into what happened I'm somewhat of the belief that Effect isn't about handling every error, it's about knowing how your application will behave and being able to handle the most common cases If we saw a dramatic increase in `NotAuthorizedForScope` errors for example, we'd be able to very quickly add custom logic to handle it Having an end to end type safe RPC client with generated errors is pretty incredible, and we haven't even gotten into all of the cool optimizations it allowed us to do

I don’t generally care for limited animation, but this is brilliant. @blast_hardchese spent six months in Japan, and his mother and I visited. It was a nice reminder that WWII was an aberration—the result of a near militaristic cult of the emperor. Both before and after, Japan and America had had a mutually fascinated relationship. After WWII, we were wise to help rebuild Germany and Japan, and to make clear we are not enemies of the people.

Ok, what is going on over in Japan? While every other country around the world is saying he’s Hitler they’re doing… this?
