Unusual but highly specific and functional vs. arbitrary and silly?

I love the jj evolog for when I’m using agents. You can even restore a single file from an arbitrary point out of the evolog.

Wouldn’t have had time for it without the LLM

I appreciated your perspective here. I definitely agree with the idea that you need to try these tools out for long enough to form an opinion. I recently used LLMs and agents to make a project for some friends and was able to fit it in a small amount of spare time while prioritizing family.

Tailscale has been critical to my homelab for years and has never let me down! #5yearsofTailscale

I figured the IBM version of Terraform would be called OpenShiftLeft.

I’ve really enjoyed how he subtly weaves the different book series together so that you can enjoy them separately, but get a lot more if you read them all.

Found the Sanderson fan! 😁 one of my old servers was named that also.
