Bravo!!!

Sure, you're right.

I was rather commenting on the tone that Thoughtworks decided to "take 10 engineers and put them in one room". I took that wording literally, imagining how they grabbed these 10 engineers with a big hand and dropped them off where they wanted them to develop their airline IROps system.

> This week, across Thoughtworks Europe, we took 10 engineers and put them in one room in our Barcelona office.

I hope you asked them beforehand :-)

> YAML is fine. TOML is a lot worse.

Care to elaborate? We are using TOML for config files and just do fine.

> it wants way too much access just to add a runner

We wanted to make the onboarding as simple as possible so that we can:

0. Log you in through your existing GitLab.com or GitLab self-hosted account 1. List all your groups and projects to decide where to install the runner 2. Disable GitLab.com's own instance runners (otherwise our Runners are not picked up) 3. Install the Runner 4. Optionally: When installing an agent runner, we are able to reply to read and reply to all your issues where you tag us via `@Rocket` -- this runs completely on your machine that we host for you! It doesn't run on our infrastructure and we only access your runner machine for auto-cleaning its caches.

That's really all the RocketRunner does with you granting us permissions when logging in.

We are looking into ways how to possible scope access better! Thanks for your feedback!

Right! That's why running your owners runners is so valuable as you've got full control over the cache location which clearly makes subsequent pipeline runs super fast.

99.99% uptime is impressive! So far our runners are likewise very reliable! It's just a Hetzner machine with our stack on top after all. Thanks for trying us out and please drop us an in-app message for any questions or comments!

Ha, let us look into ISO 27001 certification and see what it takes to obtain it (and SOC 2). Thank you for this valuable pointer! If you could just sign in (accounts are free and you can even try us out for the first 48h and not be charged), then we could message you to your email address once we have an update here.

Maybe give https://rocketrunner.io a try? We made super easy and fully managed GitLab CI/CD runners for GitLab.com or self-hosted GitLab servers :-)

(Sorry for posting this twice, but we'd really love to get more user feedback)

Setting up custom GitLab runners can be cumbersome in the beginning! We faced that multiple times with various customer projects for which we were using GitLab.com managed repos. That's why my colleague and I recently built a "GitLab Runners as a Service" [0] -- simply use your self-managed GitLab or GitLab.com account to login, adding pipeline runners is a 1-click operation! Under the hood we provision a Hetzner machine for you runners and automatically connect your GitLab group or project to it. Happy to hear your feedback!

> Bluesky's active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app

Are they implying a causal relationship between their shrinking user base and their focus expansion? The article doesn't give any proof whatsoever.

I find it disrespectful how you shape React Flow, an open-source library you managed to built something on top and charge people money for.

Quoting from your other website (linked from OT website): https://www.overflow.dev/

> React Flow examples show possible approaches, not production coverage. They omit edge cases, performance considerations, and maintenance paths. Overflow gives you the end result: hardened behavior, documented APIs and types, and components that are ready to ship.

So it's "us" vs. "they"? "They" actually build a very widely adopted open-source solution, why don't you contribute back if "they" omit so much?

I recently tried out LMStudio on Linux for local models. So easy to use!

What Linux tools are you guys using for image generation models like Qwen's diffusion models, since LMStudio only supports text gen.

National sovereignty is not national pride. Paying company taxes to the 28th regime evicts tax contributions to the company's home nation. Massive German tax money is already today used for non-national interests. EU-inc makes this only worse.

Some historian say this might have actually caused the 1st world war since these German activities provoked the British empire.

Dear terminal based programmers, who switched to Grok Console [0] from Claude Code [1] and why should I, too?

From what I understood, we check whether "snake case category" from step (1) is already known to us (in the cache) so that we need no further processing. So that step (2) and further don't apply for categories that were already produced earlier.

Happy user of https://reflex.dev framework here.

I was tired of writing backend APIs with the only purpose that they get consumed by the same app's frontend (typically React). Leading to boilerplate code both backend side (provide APIs) and frontend side (consume APIs: fetch, cache, propagate, etc.).

Now I am running 3 different apps in productions for which I no longer write APIs. I only define states and state updates in Python. The frontend code is written in Python, too, and auto-transpiled into a React app. The latter keeping its states and views automagically in sync with the backend. I am only 6 months into Reflex so far, but so far it's been mostly a joy. Of course you've got to learn a few but important details such as state dependencies and proper state caching, but the upsides of Reflex are a big win for my team and me. We write less code and ship faster.
