Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. I've visited GitHub almost every single day for over 18 years. It's never been a question for me where I'd put my projects: always GitHub. I'm super sad to say this, but its time to go. https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-leaving-github
Ghostty Is Leaving GitHub

So far I have not been enjoying my #fastapi experience. I think it's a me thing, but I find the docs unhelpful and example on the web equally so
In todays fun and games, I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out why #fastapi dependency overrides weren't working. No errors, couldn't find anything search on the web. Turns out, and I should have thought about this sooner, that you have to import what you want to override using the same path as where you set it. So if you "from x import y" where you set it, you better make sure you do the same when overriding otherwise nothing will happen
I can’t see how any of the current LLM-based ecosystem will survive once the money circle-jerk ends. And now there a huge bunch of pre-trained models out there anyone will be able to run them on their own infra (GPUs will be cheap as chips once the bubble bursts). It’s not like most corporate users make use of the “knowledge” part of the models - there’s far more call for performing classification and summarisation tasks than “who won the Mexico ‘86 World Cup?” general knowledge questions.
Just let me compute in peace

Computing can be so noisy these days

So it's been a while since I used a #mac, mostly it's been painless to get going. But why can I not have my keyboard configured as iso, it baffles me.
Completely apart from how you feel about LLMs and how they’re created, the dream of every major software developer since software was created is that whenever you write any code, you should pay a tithe to them for doing it, and LLM use appears to be what they’ve invented to get you to do that.

Lol! I am like that!

I start a new job Monday after 2 months of garden leave. I'm sure the new job will be interesting but I'm left looking forward to retirement now (only another 20ish years to go if I'm lucky), the last couple of months have been lovely.
