Teammate on most recent team gave me this parting feedback: “I learned a ton, we got lots done, our team dynamics were awesome, and I’ve never felt this kind of team feeling before.”

If your business makes software, I might be good for your business.

Containers, being an abstraction, might be situationally cost-effective when we believe that compared to the alternatives they…

- Increase declarative expressiveness
- Reduce cognitive load
- Afford options we want and constrain options we don't want

I sometimes believe that.

“It’s a very particular kind of uncomfortable, for a devotee of #ExtremeProgramming, to make a habit of making an effort with no expectation of finding out what good it did or didn’t do.”

So I'm trading consulting for employment: I've joined OpenSesame as an #XP coach.

“Managing dependencies — anything not my code that can break my code — means responsibility for dealing with the inevitable trouble, and therefore the sooner I find it the better.”

Upgrading my #NetBSD VMs to 10.0:

- amd64
- arm64
- armv7
- hppa
- i386
- macppc
- sparc
- sparc64
- vax

Building 10.0 binary packages for my amd64 VPS, itself soon to be 10.0.

My uptimes are fallen. Worthy sacrifices all.

Don’t be wrong for long. That’s #ExtremeProgramming life.

Good news for #macOS #pkgsrc users:

Updating to the latest Command Line Tools (or Xcode) won't make your builds a total mess! All known regressions in 15.3.0.0.1.1708646388 (or 15.3, build 15E204a) are systemically worked around.

Any trouble, ping me.

Yesterday's #pkgsrc on #macOS fun: align timing of anticipated #clang build breakage with volunteer schedule. https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/72da100b5a478318e730bc4676992c1c21ba4d83

Today's: fix how #Xcode developer tools are found. http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2024/03/20/msg295628.html

Upcoming: avoid useless CLT install dialogs. http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2024/03/20/msg029031.html

In my own code, I want compiler warnings to be errors. #macOS clang, upstream clang 16, and gcc 14 enable more of these by default. Good!

For #pkgsrc, no good. We build quarterly releases of >25k other-people's-code on dozens of platforms. What to do? https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2024/03/11/msg028994.html

#macOS Command Line Tools 15.3.0.0.1.1708646388 somehow ships without m4 or yacc.

#pkgsrc has a "tools" abstraction to deal with this, so we've dealt with it: https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/b889d0bc0d9edd0d04311ec0c36de73ed644ab4d

Individual packages may still pop up the CLT install dialog. Please report so we can fix them.
