shane_kerns··on GitHub's new dashboard experience now the default
What is the point of all these new dashboards and features when Github itself is inaccessible due to outages happening every week in some form or another. At this point their stated uptime is all fake. Their worst 90day uptime has been at 84%

shane_kerns··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
This is a great piece of software, with much thought put into nitty gritty details. Aside from the gripes around the mobile experience that some have outlined here, I would say you've put much thought into this piece of software. Your wife is lucky that she has a talented software developer for a husband. AI or no AI, I think this is a very clean and beautiful piece of software. This doesn't seem like its Vibe coded, because AI doesn't write such clean code but maybe AI is improving and I'm just bad at telling which is which. Nonetheless, keep up the great work and thanks for sharing. I'm downloading it just to learn from your codebase. Its not like before AI came around talented devs didn't create working side projects to help their loved ones out.

On my Mac all I see is a gray screen when I'm using the app. It used to work on my Mac until a year ago.
shane_kerns··on Fossil versus Git
The infrastructure around fossil and jujitsu are missing. Git isn't the best but network effects matter. For example, we use jenkins at work and there is no plugin for fossil or jujitsu. Every customer we have uses git so we can't even propose fossil. Even though we might use only 10 git commands, those commands are universally known by all to work if something goes wrong. It isn't sufficient to say that fossil or jujitsu are better. The ecosystem and mindshare for an alternative DVCS is significantly lacking unfortunately.

Pat Gelsinger is available for immediate hire ;)
shane_kerns··on Show HN: Tokenization of Real Estate on Blockchain
Why not use Hedera/Hbar? Lot more trustworthy IMHO and they have developer studios to make things easy and compliant. Probably a lot cheaper too.

Terraform integration?
shane_kerns··on Google CEO says more than a quarter of the company's new code is created by AI
It's no wonder that their search absolutely sucks now. Duckduckgo is so much better in comparison now.
shane_kerns··on Life, death, and retirement
I have a 10 year old daughter with a very rare genetic condition. She has no one to care for her if I pass away. She can't yet talk and operates at a 2year old level, autism is just one of the side effects of this genetic condition. She has learning challenges as well, can't read, write or understand very well. I need to leave behind substantial assets or money for her for her long term care. I would love to retire early too but I don't seem to have that luxury because if I do, I don't know what I will leave behind for my daughter's care. I've switched several jobs over the past decade only to find that there is nothing fulfilling from a job perspective. Nothing that adds value to other people's lives or even to my own, aside from a paycheck to pay for my own funeral and my daughter's future care. When the time comes I don't know how my daughter would manage my funeral and which bad people will try to take away everything that I leave behind for her for her care. I can't afford to give away 30% of my worth to law firms that will allegedly guarantee my daughter will be safe from some money hungry assisted living centers or other such nasty organizations and opening a special needs trust fund is equally expensive. I think I'll work my whole life or whatever is left of it, I'm 43 and also work in tech and this is a dying industry with AI taking up so many jobs like automation did in the automotive industry.So I'm not sure how many more good years I'll be able to work for, so I'm just going to put my head down and work humbly while I can.
shane_kerns··on Show HN: Kardinal – Building light-weight Kubernetes dev ephemeral environments
How is this different from vcluster? In fact vcluster has no dependency on Istio which I think is a huge detriment to kardinal. We use cilium so the istio requirement becomes a non starter for us.
shane_kerns··on Supermemory: AI second brain for all your saved stuff
It's a shame it is unable to store large content from links. I tried it with this link https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language so that I could eventually master the Nix language but got an error saying it was too large of a content. What's the point of storing short content which I can easily remember myself.
shane_kerns··on Pijul is a free and open source (GPL2) distributed version control system
Would love to see a 3 way comparison between Pijul, Fossil and Git
shane_kerns··on Pijul is a free and open source (GPL2) distributed version control system
I believe that even git would work in this scenario because a.txt and b.txt are separate and independent thus a rebase in git is not required. The point at which this becomes an issue is when both person A and B try to make changes to the same file and specifically the same blob of text within that file. I could be wrong but this should be simple enough to prove out because I've run into this situation before where I forgot to rebase before pushing my changes but git still accepted the changes as they were independent of the changes that person B made.
shane_kerns··on Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
No Terraform support even though there is an LSP?
