Is the benefit of using a separate source that you can include images or something else I’m missing? Couldn’t you include context in the commit body?

Thank you for putting this in more generalized terms. I was just thinking replace AI with smart phone and this reads the same.

Unfortunately I think “good faith” goes away quick in the face of “bone shattering”

Smaller more frequent price increases is potentially better than larger less frequent price increases assuming they need the increase to stay profitable? Sounds like they didn’t predict the continued increasing costs.

The company I work for uses GCP and we preciously had intermittent CloudSQL connection errors for a few hours. We reached out and they resolved it after a day or so and said there was a minor incident but I don’t think it was ever publically reported.

Removing access to opus is pretty funny. At least they recognize it’s unacceptable and tell you to go get a refund.

The per-request model was pretty insane.

Hey this is exactly the pattern we have and the bugs we need to catch… yoink?

New comment by literallyroy in "GitHub Stacked PRs"

literallyroy — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 05:59:38 +0000

Yeah that is a “stacked” pr. The tooling is nice especially when have a larger stack and make changes to the first branch. Update refs + push all branches, same with merging and rebasing onto main.

It’s strange how easy it is to spot.

It’s a really cool shade of black though.

Does self-hosted support SCIM or something else easy to connect for automatic user provisioning? Or do yal do account creations manually?

The hypest of hypers seem to be those who are new to the field or were never responsible for long term outcomes.

Thanks. I was curious if someone was going to address the weird use of “CATASTROPHIC” to describe source maps being available for front-end code. It’s already public. Minified is better for the regular user, and should be in production, but it’s like by far the least problematic thing in this article.

Weird AI piece. There was a post a few days ago looking at historical sentiment of HN posts; it looks like someone slapped that info into an LLM and asked for a neat website.

Just read the “outcome” for Warp:

> … and became the most popular modern terminal. Login removed, telemetry made optional — every criticism addressed.

Insane

New comment by literallyroy in "Turn Dependabot off"

literallyroy — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 21:53:34 +0000

The go ecosystem is pretty good about being backwards compatible. Dependabot regular update prs once a week seems like a good option in addition to govulncheck.

I don’t see “Jobs done!” in the README :(

New comment by literallyroy in "GitHub is down again"

literallyroy — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 17:05:03 +0000

That’s a safer approach but will cause teams to need to test in two infrastructures (old world and new) til the entire new environment is ready for prime time. They’re hopefully moving fast and definitely breaking things.

Yep you can use your browser cookies to be authenticated and hit the slack api and get deactivated accounts. It’s wild and depressing to watch folks get deactivated in real time

Duckdb can read in json, so you can dump kafka messages into a file and filter with SQL
