No thanks, Jenkins has three DSL languages and none of it is good. You dont have to inline code in yaml, you can call a script and call it day, write that script in any language you want.

You can do the same in jenkins, but a bit of scripting is probably more readable in Groovy than whatever Yaml dsl.

But I totally agree that the Jenkins langs are terrible, the errors even worse, somehow they managed to make jvm backtraces even more unreadable.


I don't know why they don't pivot to Kotlin.

Gradle did it successfully and it's great now.


Don't they have a major thing going on with CSP (as with Scheme) that sort ot persists pipeline state automatically? That would allow you to kill Jenkins and afterwards restart the pipeline from exactly where you left off?

But I never tried it personally


idk I always just wrote shell to be called by jenkins. none of this idiocy of programming with html comboboxes. DSL for the domain is shell, no need to invent hyperwheels here.

You think the company that just gave 40B to Anthropic is the winner? Interesting.

That deal is a win-win for Google. If they develop a better coding model than Anthropic and beat them at coding, then they win. If they don’t, they still win by making a ton of money from Anthropic long term.

Well, it's a lose for Google if all the money disappears into thin air - but I agree that it's mostly upsides for them because of how (relatively) small the investment is for this much upside.

You think the company that just gave 40B to Anthropic isn’t the winner? Interesting.

Was Microsoft the winner based on their 50B investment in OpenAI?

If OpenAI had won the enterprise race, then maybe?

I suspect someone dumped their pet. Considering its from Mexico I also suspect it prefers a warmer water/climate?

Just call it what it is, greed. The idiots at John Deer thought strangling their customers to death was a good business model.

You have three features, A, B, and C. They are core features. Two of the features break. How do you prioritize which feature gets fixed first? With telemetry its obvious, without it, you're guessing.

Also, gh cli is not about git, its about the github api. In theory the app has its own user agent and of course their LB is tracking all http requests, so not anonymous ever.


It's not, you can literally do everything this tool does with Git, and 80% of the features could be replaced with commands in your shell rc file also using vanilla git.

This tool was described perfectly the other day. JJ is the Dvorak of Git. Most people could careless about Dvorak layout, 99.8% of people use qwerty just fine. Those 0.02% though, they're loud, and they want everyone to know how great the reinvention of bread is.


Nearly every package manager does this. You would never get work done if you had to inspect every package. Services like renovate and dependabot do this lifting at no cost to the js developer, and probably do it better.


I've been watching a series on YT that is specifically about rural towns in Texas that are being abandoned or on the brink of total collapse. Much of it has to do with highways and routing around these communities decades ago. I don't know if a datacenter is the answer, but it has to be better then what looks like a post apocalyptic America.


Reviving Radiator Springs with a datacenter! The plot of Cars 4.

Those small towns are often positioned such that even if you plopped a billion dollar datacenter on top of them, it wouldn't change much, as even with second and third order effects it's adding 100-200 total population.


Sounds more difficult then modern web frameworks. We've all done this for little projects, but anything with users or development teams, your method is DOA.


I disagree, most webapps, like 99.9% I would say, are just forms, links, and pages. Meaning, they can be done with 0 reactivity and that is the most simple and straightforward way to do it.

Less code is basically always better, so if you can skip the huge amounts of JS and orchestration required by modern web frameworks, then it will be easy. People are out here using React to render static pages. It's very overkill.


That can't be your measurement when you're loading 3 huge js libraries which are a lot more code then say svelte, which also excels at SSG.


Eh, there’s tradeoffs. They’re real. But I’ve done plenty of this on teams back in the day before all these frameworks and it can absolutely work. It may even be easier now with JS modules.


Looks like the Perl of Git too. Those commands are wild compared to vanilla git.
