Newcomers have to do exactly the same what they did years and years ago. Practice the craft and gain experience by doing things.

And the craft is loose term, it can mean anything you like to get better at.

Author likes this kind of animation. I have something similar like this, but without the animation step.

The main idea is you can do any style you want or like to learn.

Why so much hate.

I think this is brilliant way to announce new features!

It is playful, it is nice, it is something new. Don't take it too seriously.

This is awesome -

*A history picker on the up arrow*

*Commands are recorded once they finish, and only when they exited cleanly, so typos never clutter the list.*

Where the history is stored? Is it possible to store in single place like user root dir?*

There are few more:

https://github.com/cloudflare/security-audit-skill

I'm on the fence here, for one as from recent Linux mailing discussions those tools can really find good bugs (51% of them?), but on other side - I'm afraid of false sense of security.

You need a friend there. I'm trying to get in for years, however RO mode is still worth it.

I saw it after posting. Ha. That is not very smart filter, but works most of the time!

Not all crimes are reported in Vancouver. But agree is not as bad as some paints.

60+ ! oh my, while this is cool it seems that is overkill. I want to know all my skills back and forth.

But I like this kind of projects where I can peak of what extensions other people use. Is like .vimrc file back in the day. Do not clone blindly, but peak, learn and copy what is needed.

It goes like this: --- As an expert tutorial creator for experienced engineers, you take the input the user request and make interactive tutorial. Default style is technology, tech is mac and linux. Default style is 20mins, but you ask for the timeline. Also do not forget to provide the cost of technologies used. ---

I do this all the time, I have a skill/gem with instructions on how I want to receive info, how to format and so on. Really helps to go fast to get the point.

I understand why rust, but why TS? just for a front end?

That’s true, however having only few eggs and shopping for several baskets does not make sense in early days. Not sure how big railway is, but usually you start small with one egg.

lfx — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 19:04:38 +0000

I loved zed for over 1 year, told for everybody to use it, because it was so fast and great.

But now using claude-code,gemini-cli,codex,etc it just seems less relevant. Just opened nvim with lazyvim and it feels nice, since I'm in terminal anyway it just feels more natural.

Still have zed opened, still like it but I guess honeymoon is over.

Cool idea, but you should consider required auth to ban trolls.

On other hand, I wonder why many pictures are in the middle of the bridges or viaducts?
