@Miikka Having been to two of her gigs, I strongly recommend seeing her perform live if you get a chance.

@roundcrisis These days one Arch and one Debian. Arch moves fast and, quite rarely, requires manual intervention to fix something. It’s a rolling distribution, which trades infrequent large upgrades for regular small package churn. Debian on the other hand is solid and slow moving. On its foundation you can get fresh releases via flatpak, as the stable distribution itself is in no rush to stabilise packages. Overall, I’m happy with both.

@weavejester @plexus Seconding the importance of ease of automated verification. I've had good results with property-based testing. A small local LLM can debug quite nicely given shrunk sequences of steps leading to a failed assertion generated by a stateful model-based PBT with a test oracle.
