The Jetpack monorepo is 767MB 🐡

Mostly because of the tracked build files (roughly 360MB) which are not even part of the current work tree.

Would you trust AI to run this?

Will it actually apply those single quotes when running it?

It created the ~ directory itself during previous runs so it is trying to clean up.

Here is a crazy idea -- pull requests will get replaced by issues or feature requests as the primary way of contributing to open source projects.

Pull requests require that we trust the code offered for merging. Yes, we can ask AI to review the code but there is still a lot of risk associated with it.

As humans we can reliably control only the inputs to the AI models which is the issue or feature request describing the desired outcomes.

Federated and independent web is a user experience and usability challenge.

Here is a great list of known issues and how they’re being addressed across the ecosystem. https://wedistribute.org/2026/04/the-seven-deadly-fediverse-ux-sins-a-redemption-report-card/

Funny how macOS search (both Finder and Spotlight) is so bad that I don’t even think of using it.

Imagine how bad AI would do if it couldn’t search properly.

Are there recent Mac apps that are trying to solve this?

Spent the Saturday afternoon exploring ways to add surrogate-key (also known as cache tags) support for Nginx fastcgi cache which is otherwise great with state-while-revalidate support, etc.

Considered creating an Nginx module but there don't appear to be any hookable events when the cache files are written. The idea would be too keep an index of tags mapped to cache files on disk and have a route for invalidating by tags.
