🚀 Ah yes, the age-old dilemma of documenting your messy dev setup using a #Makefile, because who *doesn't* love Makefiles? đŸ€” By all means, declare your devotion to tech nostalgia as you attempt to tame your chaotic toolkit with a file format that turns every installation into an archaeological dig. 🩖

Home Maker: Declare Your Dev Tools in a Makefile

Your laptop has ripgrep, installed via cargo install. ruff is there too, via uv tool install. golangci-lint came from go install. bash-language-server was npm i -g. Neovim was a tarball download. Kitty was a curl script. Six months later you get a new machine, or you just want to upgrade or reinstall. What do you even have installed? How did you install each one? Which version? Good luck. This is a small system that answers those questions — a single Makefile that declares every tool you care about, grouped by purpose, with one command to install anything.

Today, I'm so happy to have released a new version of the open tracing #chaostoolkit extension that properly supports #opentelemetry

https://chaostoolkit.org/drivers/opentracing/

Your #chaosengineering experiments deserve to be visible.

I have so many #chaostoolkit extensions, each on their own repository. I do wonder if I shouldn't collate them into a single repository. #monorepo

Lovely that #chaostoolkit was the first #OSS contribution for one of our community member :)
