#devex — Public Fediverse posts

On Thursday I was at the notary for the incorporation of my first company: @atvari 🥳

Starting August, I will be offering consulting & contracting services to clients in the areas of Software & Cloud Engineering with a focus on Rust 🦀, Nix / NixOS ❄, and Open Source 🌐. I'm still open to opportunities, so feel free to reach out.

Реальный DX: как измерить опыт разработчика и не соврать самому себе

В прошлый раз я писал про то, что сообщение об ошибке читает уставший человек в два часа ночи. Там была одна простая мысль: ошибка должна сказать, что случилось, почему и что делать дальше. Переписали голое invalid_request в человеческий ответ, и стало лучше. Вот только «стало лучше» — это ощущение. А ощущение нельзя положить в роадмап (или защитить перед руководством), чтобы сравнить через квартал. Улучшить то, что ты не измеряешь, нельзя: можно только верить, что улучшил. Давайте сегодня разберёмся, как DX из набора интуиций превратился в измеримую дисциплину: с исследованиями, метриками и цифрами. И как этим пользоваться, не скатываясь в дашборд ради дашборда.

Reading about special relativity felt like understanding it. Doing the calculations in university proved it wasn't the same thing.

AI coding gives me a similar uneasy feeling. I can follow the logic and reason about the system, but knowing how something works is not the same as being able to apply it. The applied judgment can quietly move out of the developer's hands.

What bothers me is this: if you need AI to understand your own codebase, that understanding is no longer just assisted by a tool. It is delegated to a vendor.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@heplon/116687109227735875

After years of watching great engineers lose entire afternoons to pipeline debugging, CrashLoopBackoffs and OOM kills, my co-founder Simon and I have decided to do something about it.

Today we are launching Heplon!

Rails 8.1 adds Local CI: a config/ci.rb DSL plus bin/ci runner that executes the same checks on your laptop and in GitHub Actions.

New apps come with #Brakeman, bundler-audit, #Rubocop, and system tests preconfigured.

I wrote my own coding agent cost tracker and noticed that my numbers did not line up with codexbar by Peter Steinberger.

so I did the annoying thing and dug into the details, assuming I had probably made the mistake.

the mismatch still held.

with the public “$1.3M in tokens in 30 days” context, I keep wondering:

if the cost math of his software is off, how much of the software produced at that scale is actually right?

DORA-метрики: как собирать, интерпретировать и не переусердствовать, часть 2

В первой части мы разобрали, как устроены DORA-метрики и что стоит за каждым из пяти показателей. Сложнее другое: одни используют их как инструмент улучшения процессов, другие – как универсальную шкалу зрелости. Разбираемся, почему контекст здесь важнее любого бенчмарка – и с чего начать команде, которая хочет считать метрики осмысленно.

I'm working on an educational app for #amateurradio. In it I have visualizations for different factors that affect radio signal propogation.

My AI agents hit a quality plateau. Prompt tweaks weren't helping.

The problem? My agent was anchored to MY understanding of the domain, reflecting my blind spots back at me. 🤦‍♂️

Here's how I got through it:

AI tools are not “bad”.
But they often give bad results.

Why? Because they don’t understand your codebase.
And your prompts are missing context.

This is the real gap most Java developers hit right now.

Rails logs in development: beautiful stack traces, everything in your terminal, life is good.

Rails logs in production three weeks later: zgrep through 30 compressed files and pray.

I wrote about why this happens and how to fix it.
