mise.jdx.dev is a freaking joy to use. I gotta figure out how to get it to "replace" homebrew too (maybe I can just write a brew backend)

Here I am, building a platform to run pipelines based on Wasm Components, thinking it's pretty cool.
Then I learn @bruhks.bsky.social builds a CLI where commands and plugins are Wasm Components, with all the benefits that brings.
There's a high chance the `pipestack` CLI will follow that pattern!

Found a wonderful clap hack in #rustlang, I wanted to enable multiple subcommand headings for a plugin system I'm working on but that isn't implemented yet.
But one simple line:
cmd = cmd.subcommand(clap::Command::new("\n\x1b[4mPlugins:\x1b[0m").about("\n"));

cmd = cmd.subcommand(clap::Command::new("\n\x1b[4mPlugins:\x1b[0m").about("\n"));

I'm convinced that a great review strategy on GitHub when you have high trust in the PR creator is to approve and leave comments for all your nits / questions. Set your branch rules to require all comments to resolve to merge, then the creator can respond appropriately and make changes if needed.

Every time I shake my phone and an app asks if I wanted to report a problem it sparks joy. Like, all these developers thought if someone RAGED at their app so much they shook their phone, that it would be helpful to ask for some feedback. It’s so pure 🥹

Is there any particular type of runner on GitHub actions that's most available? I have a pretty simple workflow that I just want to get picked up as fast as possible, and I'm noticing `ubuntu-latest` can take sometimes ~30 seconds to request (first world problems, I know)

What does it take to get a project on the GitHub trending list? Seems to be mostly based on star momentum, but also a large increase in a single day? 🤔

I’d really like to see the blog post-mortem from Netflix that shows numbers for just how much data they streamed during that fight. Would be fun to see the attempts (failed or successful) to replicate that
