herpdyderp··on GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing
I used to feel exactly like you do, but now I use the Claude CLI exclusively and am very pleased with the results.
herpdyderp··on I spent years trying to make CSS states predictable
This is exactly how I feel. Learn how to write CSS! Like you would do with any language!
herpdyderp··on GitHub CLI now collects pseudoanonymous telemetry
According to their releases page: 2.90.0
herpdyderp··on Do you even need a database?
I wrote a CSV DB engine once! I can't remember why. For fun?
herpdyderp··on GitHub Stacked PRs
It's very confusing that the "quick start" guide says the CLI is a requirement, when it's apparently not. This UI flow is exactly what I want! Thank you!
herpdyderp··on GitHub Stacked PRs
> so the diff in a PR shows just the relevant changes from the specific branch

That's exactly right.

> you can create stacked PRs purely via the UI

How?

I see from the docs https://github.github.com/gh-stack/introduction/overview:

> When a pull request is part of a stack

How does GitHub determine if a PR is part of a stack? Is it automatically detected so that I don't need to adjust my tooling that already creates chained PRs?

herpdyderp··on GitHub Stacked PRs
Agreed. I do have tooling for a rebase + push flow, but it simply calls native git commands.
herpdyderp··on GitHub Stacked PRs
I thrive on stacked PRs but this sure seems like a weird way to implement support for it. Just have each branch point to their parent in the chain, the end. Just native Git. I've been longing for better GitHub support for this but the CLI is not where I need that support: just the UI.

Tbf I read the preamble first and I’m still convinced the recommendations are serious.

I keep seeing this and wondering if the ESLint default rules against weird characters would catch this? But I can’t figure out how to check.

What knock off brands come even close in quality? Everything I’ve tried that isn’t name brand LEGO is hot garbage.
herpdyderp··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
I came across your game last year! Can't remember how. Any hopes of macOS support?
herpdyderp··on MacBook Neo
IIRC it's because the iPhone chip doesn't have thunderbolt
herpdyderp··on Making Video Games in 2025 (without an engine)
On the contrary, making the tool that makes the tool is what I live for! My personal tech stack has benefited incredibly from this practice and fuels my startup, though it did take me 20 years of slow iteration to get here.
herpdyderp··on Infrastructure decisions I endorse or regret after 4 years at a startup (2024)
Does anyone have thoughts on how bunny.net compares to Netlify? I've been getting sick of them (and their pricing) recently...
herpdyderp··on Show HN: Wildex – Pokémon Go for real wildlife
No go with all the tracking.
herpdyderp··on Discord just killed anonymity
> mandatory age verification for all users is rolling out next month

I thought age verification was only required to access "adult" content?

herpdyderp··on Discord/Twitch/Snapchat age verification bypass
> remaining customers of a service that is actively hostile against them and that they do not like

And yet here we all are, still in an uproar every time GitHub goes down. Change is slow, we can't all leave GitHub in a day. Same with Discord users.

herpdyderp··on It's 2026, Just Use Postgres
These days I would recommend PGlite for testing purposes when you use Postgres in production. That way you don't need any specific SGQLite vs Postgres behavior switches.
herpdyderp··on GitHub experience various partial-outages/degradations
Dang that's the life hack here, just get out of continental USA time zones!
herpdyderp··on Xcode 26.3 – Developers can leverage coding agents directly in Xcode
With sufficient AI integration, we won't even have to worry about the interface anymore! (I very much look forward to that day for Xcode.)
herpdyderp··on GitHub experience various partial-outages/degradations
Unfortunately that won’t clear up the weekly GitHub outages

I tried AirTags once. It beeped non stop on my own possessions. I don’t understand how anyone uses these things.

Idk what’s wrong with me but I’ve never run into any of these!
herpdyderp··on CSS Optical Illusions
I've often run into these unintentionally messing up my UIs!
herpdyderp··on Predicting OpenAI's ad strategy
Ads feel good when they’re for something we’re actively in need of. But they usually aren’t, and they are also often scammy or scummy. I bet we’d feel a lot different about ads if these things changed.

I haven’t tried it in many a year but I’m fairly certain that if you have the installer, you can downgrade to any version that runs on your computer.
