well, conductor was so great that after using it for a few weeks, I completely stopped fearing a lock-in. I just use the official cli + desktop apps now. tmux + a bit of custom scripting works wonders.

I run a mac mini server at home and it was quite a culture shock getting that thing to do anything like linux. The password retirement at boot is a hard gate and your server will just not do anything until you unlock it. GREAT feature for desktop and laptops, not so much for a server.

I love Borland product design, I always fall back to using their design language in my personal use tools[1].

1. You can see them in my recent submissions. Don't want to shill.

vadepaysa — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 16:29:30 +0000

LG TVs have the best OLED displays and the most questionable privacy policy. So I picked best of both the worlds and left the TV off the internet. Apple TV is the way to go for me.

maybe I am old. has anyone else really tired to collaboratively chat with an agent like this? in my experience, people on my team tend to work more in isolation with agents. Ive never seen them collaborate ON the chat. they do collaborate on the PR...

vadepaysa — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 19:31:51 +0000

Congrats on launch! Have you considered providing engineering consulting as a part of the package? We always started with an amazing CM here in the US and scaled manufacturing in China. We usually spent more with our US CM to go 0 -> 1 -> 500 than what we paid the Chinese manufacturer to go from 500 -> 100,000. He was an amazing guy with consultants sitting at every aspect of the process. We would not have succeeded without the us CM.

I always thought there was a business in making that consulting easy to find. Its usually a very hard thing to find good consultants.

vadepaysa — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 21:45:44 +0000

I saw this trending on github yesterday and tried it and liking it so far. What I like: - familiar tmux like key binding (configurable) interface - comes with all the tmux advantages like detach, ssh etc - mouse - nice sidebar

I prefer to manage my worktrees manually with a super simple script.

New comment by vadepaysa in "SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B"

vadepaysa — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 18:20:27 +0000

They sold at the top. My entire TEAM was weaned off cursor in the last year. New setup - 50% of them do (Codex Desktop, Claude Desktop) + Zed for IDE and the other 50% use (claude code + codex cli) on cmux -- a ghostty based terminal that adds some bells and whistles, literally for notifications when claude is done.

IMHO, the codex desktop app is very powerful for development + testing given it can easily control the computer.

This is wild. I nearly got banned from Robinhood for just running DCA using an unofficial python api. Crazy how times change.

ah well, you know, obsidian is a bit of a muscle memory now. I have tried to replace it many times with no success. I will try this one too.

New comment by vadepaysa in "I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis"

vadepaysa — Fri, 15 May 2026 21:38:36 +0000

"Just use autoresearch and it will fix your app's memory leaks in an hour" is what I was nonchalantly told by someone who has never written a line of code ever.

I guess what I relate to the most is how dismissive people get about real software engineering work.

I may have skill issues, but I am yet to reach the level of autonomous engineering people tend to expect out of AI these days.

Congrats to the Zed! I've been using zed since their first launch on HN. They did not even have a search + replace function at that time! I now use zed all_the_time.

What an awesome journey!

Thank You, great product. Do you have something for merge queues?

New comment by vadepaysa in "Ghostty is leaving GitHub"

vadepaysa — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 03:27:57 +0000

What is confusing to me, is as a business I would happily pay GitHub for many many features that I pay others for. Maybe MS thinks its just a billion here, billion there, but isn't it so easy to capture these?

1. faster more configureable action runtimes so I can get faster builds 2. usable merge queues because the github one is a joke 3. some reasonable CI management and workflow debugging features

Thank You. This is exactly why I read comments on HN before clicking on news. I am not looking for confirmation bias, I just trust people here more than the BBC.
