Also when going back the page, I don't see that post anymore - it was featured in random blogs, so I lost it.

It's a cool idea, but maybe a improvement could be to select a random handful per day, and let them stay there for a while? Fewer surprises this way!

Good idea, thanks! I was planning to modify the welcome page into that kind of "Minifeed Today" page, and to regenerate it only once a day.

OK turns out it was not a summary, just a preview paragraph that mixed headers and text from the original, leading to strange casing and reading. I'd suggest not to include headers there or distinguish them!

Example (had to search on kagi with site:minifeed.net):

You Can Either Steal Great Developers or Farm Them To grow software development teams, you can either steal excellent developers or you can develop them internally.

Yeah, the parsing is suboptimal right now. I'll work on that!

Looks really nice! Any plan to add social aspect like comments, likes and such?
freetonik · 15 days ago
Thought about it, but not sure yet. Not too many user yet for that sort of thing.

Shameless plug, but hopefully relevant enough: my directory and search engine for personal blogs[1] indexes over 1000 RSS feeds, and naturally lots of them are about engineering and software development. Full-text search is implemented with Typesense, and there are also "related" recommendations for each post, example [2].

Interesting that the profits of those bottom 490 companies of S&P 500 do not rise with the help of AI technology, which is supposedly sold to them at a reduced rate as AI vendors are bleeding money.

In the world of Python-based end-user libraries the pinned (non-ranged) versions result in users being unable to use your library in an environment with other libraries. I’d love to lock my library to numpy 2.3.4, but if the developers of another library pin theirs to 2.3.5 then game over.

For server-side or other completely controlled environments the only good reason to have lock files is if they are actually hashed and thus allow to confirm security audits. Lock files without hashes do not guarantee security (depending on the package registry, of course, but at least in Python world (damn it) the maintainer can re-publish a package with an existing version but different content).

Reminds those early youtube days shredding overdub videos.. These were funny, but the Yellow Bus Jam seems just hollow and wrong. Feeling there's something from Steely Dan in that song..

Reminded me of Steely Dan as well, but somehow off.
