That's not true! We have demand for bigger machines and we also sell them. You can go checkout the PlanetScale website. See: https://x.com/samlambert/status/2077197049129587150

There are truly customers that bigger machine no longer cuts.

Both are also early Go engineers and developers who hacked on the Go stdlib for years. Most people in the Go community know them. Great people, and the idea speaks for it. I wish them best of luck.

Yeah same, I'm curious about this. I would guess it's by default enabled with Claude Code.

Funny because I always thought of `nit` as something like `btw`. It never occured to me it's actually an abbrevation of nitpick :) Learnt something new today. I'll fix it, thank you!

People always ask which camera or lens I use, hence I added it upfront. Leica's are expensive I agree. It was a dream of mine to use it though for almost two decades. I finally was in a position to get it three years ago.

To your question, the RAW's, unprocessed files are not like this from a Leica. You need to color grade (photographers say "post processing"). Color grading is used mostly for Video. In Photography, there are a lot of other things, it's mostly about light, not color. Highlights, Shadows, Contrast, Blacks/Whites etc.. Of course colors are also very important.

If you want good colors straight out of the camera, you could look into FujiFilm.
