Nice one, works better than mine;

I've been using a git alias for quite some time

`lead = shortlog -s -n --all --no-merges`

I remember you talking about the project in the early drools IRC days. Your positivity and enthusiasm were what really made this project happen, and I have no doubts about your success with this new venture.

I’m glad things went well for you and that you managed to regain control of your life’s work.

Nice idea, I missed a few thing.

- on tab pressing, there's a percussive sound https://www.soundsnap.com/typewriter_electra_xt_old_electron...

- same happens on shift https://www.soundsnap.com/typewriter_erika_model_shift_press...

- same on other keys, like backspace

- once you reach the end of the page on some models, the carriage does't progress so you hit the same position over and over until you CR.

> It's much much better for America if tech companies hire workers in the US

I used the same argument in Brazil to support a strong free software preference in all government functions. Support from voters in Redmond wouldn’t get anyone re-elected in Brazil.

Then we got RedHat using the same strategy to sell support for the government :D

Nice post, let me build up on the software engineering analogy.

I've had a 3D printer for a while, and I have to say that Bambu has completely changed my perspective on the whole experience.

Before, I treated it mostly as a time-consuming hobby - setting up my own Octopi for remote printing, tinkering with different settings and parts on my Prusa. It was all trial and error, with most prints turning out below average.

Now it feels more like a continuous integration system. It runs mostly unattended, always ready to execute my next batch of prints.

I recently traveled for a week and only needed my wife to refill the filament and remove finished prints, allowing my workflow to continue uninterrupted.

I don't regret my initial experience since I learned a lot, but I really appreciate having a more streamlined process now.

Start creating new feature in system2 and over years let it slowly take over system1.

Whenever new feature is published in system2 don't forget to tell your customer "You see how fast we delivered this new feature, in old system1 it would take at least 2 upgrade cycles. Oh btw, this other new feature your just mentioned do you want it in system2 next month or in system1 in Q3/2025?"

This is the recipe to have 100+ different runtimes.

Don’t forget that In large deployments, you have no idea who is using what, which features are enabled or what’s the flavor of optimization someone pushed to make things work for the customer. You have dozens of engineers and all trying to keep the lights on.

This was the state when I joined Auth0 and it took us a year to migrate every individual customer env to a managed PAAS and another year to migrate our multi tentant environments later.

I tried RMPP for a weekend and decided not to stick with it. Honestly, it doesn't even come close to how good my Note Air 3C* is. Being an Android device allows you to perform customization especially regarding setting accessibility features beyond the basics.

* I understand that some people have concerns about the brand's security practices and affiliations, but I went further and completely locked it down from public cloud features.

BOFH, BileBlog, The Daily WTF;

No wonder we all turned cynical.

Identity is tricky. Proving who you are depends on a certain level of trust. Whether it's through email, devices, phones, or, in more advanced settings, some sort of digital certificate; you won't have much options.

Unless you're in Germany using a service provided by the Vogons, you might end up getting a letter containing an activation PIN via snail mail or worst having to visit the post office to show your passport.
