The most valuable asset you can invest in as a software engineer is: - Understanding The more you understand, the deeper your understanding, the greater your impact. This means crafting “one level deeper”, thinking more. It may take years, but understanding will reward you.

Here's another fun one: Atlassian wants you to pay 15 usd/mo PER SLOT if you want parallel builds on YOUR self-hosted runners atlassian.com/blog/bitbucket…

The fact that enshittification has begun is not really up to debate. If you want to stick to a literal interpretation then I was also wrong in saying what we made right on time, we actually still have until March before the price change kicks in. That being said, the enshittification angle of attack has increased significantly, which to me is what matters most, and this post reveals that we actually made a mistake waiting for this long, since Github's move to the new infrastructure a few months ago strongly correlates with the issues what we've been having. So in fact, we were late.

@croloris Sure, maybe! But your tweet made it sound like it's unconditional. I don't like GitHub either, but I think being factually accurate instead of rage baiting is the right way to approach it.

We got out of GitHub right on time! From March 1st you have to pay by the minute to run YOUR OWN self-hosted runners. Somebody told a C-level about safe_sleep.sh and where we saw a bug, they saw a feature. resources.github.com/actions/2026-p…

@turbofish_pk The youtube stream is without music, switch to that if you prefer silence

@croloris Why do you need music in a programming stream? It is very distracting and makes it impossible to watch. I don't think you would care about it, but just in case.

If you're planning on doing Advent Of Code in Zig this year, my blog post on how to get started still fully applies. kristoff.it/blog/advent-of…

Second-to-last stop: TigerBeetle in Milano! Join us for a talk by @errebino, followed by Zig-focused lightning talks and demos, and an aperitivo near the venue. Grazie mille to our hosts, @inge4pres and @croloris! ​Dec 6, 5pm luma.com/fbt5g0kx
