Yeah, why not neglect all the good recommendations in the #Python ecosystem, and instead fork your own C extension package, force people to build it with #ZigLang (it's still C), add unconditional dependency on that, and on top of that, refuse to publish wheels, "allowing for optimised compilation according to your machine's specific architecture and capabilities, instead of some (low performance) common denominator."
Fortunately, looks like #Gentoo can just ignore all the fancy crap and compile it with GCC.

I think the sheer existence of particularly https://yaml-multiline.info/ just shows how beautiful YAML is. :D

Life with Visual Studio Code #VSCode
1. I learned about `code --disable-extensions. This helped pinpoint the selection issue to most probably an extension.
2. I have removed most of the extensions. I have Go, Java, Python, XML, YAML. Go is from Google, Java from Oracle, Python from MS, XML & YAML from RedHat. This is very interesting!
3. I still feel very lost in terms of shortcuts. I'm struggling to decide if I should introduce the ones I'm familiar with or continue to experience #VSCode

GitHub Actions for the R language: Makes automatic testing of your R package much easier and making sure your package works on different OS and R versions is a matter of just a few lines of yaml: #rstats

nix-converter just hit 1.0.0 #nix - I frequently use this with https://github.com/reMarkable/helmfile-nix/ when I want to convert some kubernetes object into a nix chart.

The initial example is based of my current character and it's looking decent. I'm not happy with the skill section, but this should get the job done. Still have to figure out how I want the damage to look on weapons. I also need to get spells into the schema, but I'll leave that alone for the time being.

I've been transforming JSON into DOM for some years.
Now I transform YAML into compute resources.
Same vibe, ya know. ✨👩‍💻✨

Ansible biggest weakness is the fact that they used yaml

@… well, it _works_ (`bundleDependencies: ["js-yaml"]`) but it feels a bit icky 😅

Also:
- got yelled at (uncalled) by someone who thinks he owns the place (ofc he doesn't)
- got frustrated by Liquid and YAML parser, their combo especially
But still.

🔧 YAML frontmatter converts directly to CLI flags: model: opus becomes --model opus, mcp-config: ./mcp.json becomes --mcp-config ./mcp.json, dangerously-skip-permissions: true becomes --dangerously-skip-permissions
🔄 Full Unix philosophy support: Pipe data in and out with stdin/stdout, chain agents together like git diff | review.claude .md or plan.claude .md | implement.codex .md, transparent logging shows what runs

Yet another dev bitten by YAML parser stripping out underscores from strings that otherwise contain only digits. ✋
