I hate GitHub Actions with passion
I can’t overstate how much I hate GitHub Actions. I don’t even remember hating any other piece of technology I used.

But for the past couple years, my go-to programming language for fun side projects has been a little Lisp dialect called Janet.

How did AMD Ryzen get 50% faster in two years?

I have written about them before, in How stagnant … Continue reading…

Claude Code 2.1.277 added AGENTS.md support, but the loader sits behind a remote feature flag. With telemetry or nonessential traffic turned off, a local AGENTS.md is skipped without a warning. This is what I measured and the one-line CLAUDE.md I use instead.
