Last two days Iāve spent at #craftconf in Budapest. Interesting takeaway was that basically everyone in the industry is now scared to not lose their jobs and trying to figure out how to squeeze the best results from AI in sustainable way.
It is truly time when our industry is changing. The change is mostly fueled just three companies (openAI, Anthropic, Nvidia).
Isnāt it crazy?
Just shipped Roxy v1.0.0! š
The big new thing is Docker auto-discovery. Turn it on, run docker compose up, and your services are instantly available at
https://web.myproject.roxy. Domains come and go as containers start and stop ā zero manual setup.
One thing I haven't figured out yet is DNS resolution inside containers on macOS (Docker's VM makes it tricky). Works on
Linux though. Ideas welcome!
Most of my time Iām spending in terminal. I consider it as nice and effective tool. For years Iāve used tmux. Already for a year I wanted to try #zellij but didnāt have time.
It is ~2 weeks Iām using it and I love it, totally worth it. It has so many features that I didnāt know I need. But the best for me is stacked pane. Fits into my workflow a lot.
Are you using zellij? What is your favorite feature?
Iāve just come back from an Alpha Trianguli concert. It was an amazing experience. If you like jazz and the universe, theyāll take you on a beautiful cosmic journey.
Small update on Roxy, the local dev proxy I've been hacking on.
Since v0.1 last week, I've shipped 3 more releases:
- wildcard subdomains (*.myapp.roxy) with trusted HTTPS
- file browser for static routes
- auto-start on boot via brew services
Still macOS only. Still learning a lot building it.
If anyone's tried it or has feedback, I'd love to hear it.
You know that annoying thing where you have localhost:3000, :8080, :9000 all running and you forget which is which?
Built a thing to fix that. Real .roxy domains with HTTPS for local dev.
v0.1.0 out now, works on macOS.
Error āhandlingā in Rust is very expressive and can get messy over time. Iām used to combine `thiserror` and `anyhow` together. But after while application ending up with many error variants that has to be maintained.
There may be another way, crate exn (https://github.com/fast/exn).
