Two days ago, I had eight (out of one hundred and forty) unit tests failing, and I wasn't happy with my code. Last night, I had forty failing, and I thought things were improving. This morning I have one hundred and twenty four failing, so I *know* I'm on the right path!

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.

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.

I live off low-hanging fruit.

Just noticed one of my favorite pieces of software ever had a big update after more than 5 years: the #Rockbox media player software! #iPod color, of course, but later on an old #Android phone, a #FiiO M3K and today on a #Surfans F20! Honestly it just can't be beat, software wise, for a media player. 🧵1/2

So, why *should* GNOME support server side decorations?
Cet article est aussi disponible en français. This article contains quite a few technical terms, which I will explain these in the following paragraphs, those that are already familiar with these terms may skip to the next section. A basic understanding of linux and it’s desktop environments is assumed. Server side decorations (SSD) is the term for when when the application’s titlebar is drawn by the system and client side decorations (CSD) is the term for when the applications draws it’…
