It's 2026 and #software releases are still a mess. 🫠
Point taken, everyone has different needs.
Versioning?
You have your manifests, tags, release notes; they all need to be in sync.
Changelog?
There is tooling to generate it, and there are conventional commits.
CI?
You know, that thing that keeps biting you and requires its own maintenance.

Did I ever mention how annoying and *disrespectful* it is when I close the program's (last or only) window, and instead of exiting it minimizes to tray, and keeps using up memory? If I wanted to minimize the program, I would have fricking minimized it!

There's roughly two ways I've acquired skills in programming languages in the past: the "hard" way for writing code (e.g., "Learn Python the Hard Way"), and the "easy" way for learning to read a new programming language by skimming the language specs or leafing through a book on the topic (e.g., "The Supercollider Book").
I suppose there's a third way now for me: Reading up on software architecture design (e.g., stuff like "500 lines or less"), so that co-creation skills with large language models are improved?
For example, Yoav Rubin's article on "An Archaeology-Inspired Database" in 500 lines or less really made me think about Clojure in a new way.
Thoughts on this?

I think it might be fundamentally important to note that #scale is not what hyperscalers and longtermists say it is. Software is great at scale. Practitioners who work closely with software are pretty good at it too. Business plans and people who assume scale means “this thing I think I know, only bigger” are *terrible* at it.

#Software peeps: do you still do box diagrams to work out how your structures will sit in memory?
#Lisp

A section of a design document I am working on, comprising text surrounding a box diagram. The text is:

In the beginning was the Word

My intention is that memory will be considered as an array of 64 bit words.

Each word may be considered as

1. a cons cell: two instances of object32, each having one mark bit, three tag bits and 28 payload bits;

2. a single object64, having one mark bit, seven tag bits, and 56 payload bits.

Note that, for any word, the first four bits comprise the mark and …

The "#AI" code generators are demonstrating very well that the idea of "building blocks" does not really apply to #software implementation; merely on a conceptual level, if at all.
Software is still not as simple as some MBA folks would like you to believe. What is sometimes called "technical debt" may as well be accepted to be natural

I suppose this is true, strictly speaking, but only in the same way that using a computer or a mobile phone could end up with you introduced to the same set of friends.
"Most excitingly, you can download apps for [Software Defined Radios] that do everything, most especially the kind of thing that will introduce you with surprisingly rapidity to a wide range of new friends with no sense of humor and love letters that look suspiciously like arrest warrants."

This is so cool! Not bad, strong swiss showing thanks to proton, but android is definitely the elephant in the room, and of course, the backend and lack of eurostack needs to go in there somewhere.

I'm checking PixiEditor and it's doing much better than a couple of years ago.
Drawing with vectors right next to Pixel Art, next to regular image editing is wild, and I haven't even tried the procedural art yet.
Also, the No AI stance right there in the site's home screen 👌 That's what I want to see.

The Android app I was using for pixel arting on my phone, has gone and made exporting files a paid feature.
The thing is, I intended to pay the 20€ when I had a bit of money to spare, which isn't now, but this is a dick move I won't reward.
I'd rather use FOSS anyway, so: any recommendations? F-Droid seems a bit dry. Thanks.
