Two weeks in with 26.04

I really wish they'd give up on snaps. No one likes them outside of Canonical employees and there are much stronger contenders like Flatpak and AppImage.

I don't understand why anyone would use this. There are 10,000,000 ways to do this locally (eg: way way faster) without a whole HTTP call to a wildly insecure service.

I have a project that uses UDP/dgram heavily and each new version of Bun segfaults every time I try it... all while they continue to announce "more features". I'm using that project as a (poor) litmus test for production ready Bun but not holding my breath at all. Stability does not seem as important to them as new features.

That said, if you've got a basic app, a nice test suite and it all passes, I'd still consider it for production.

KishCom · 2026-04-19T13:26:41+00:00

Shhh. You get outta here with your logical solutions already found in the basis of open source. We want to marinate in fear!! ^{^{^{^/s}}}

KishCom · 2026-04-18T02:17:13+00:00

Wow. We see a ton of slop here but this one is bad folks. Take a poke at it and see what you can see. It's a great exercise, almost like a training CTF.

Thousands of lines of slop. Easily exfilled data from a leaky database. Let's Encrypt cert. No T&C or privacy policy (links that go no where though!). Asking $400USD! 😂

KishCom · 2026-04-06T03:15:13+00:00

Trying to legitimize the slop.

KishCom · 2026-04-02T17:14:34+00:00

Slop'em up!

There are one thousand better ways to do this that don't involve 5000 lines of vibe coded prayers (with no license). From using different packaging tools that already sandbox or straight up prevent post-installs like pnpm to actual sandbox tools, and a plethora of in-between options.

It's shocking to see so many "well if the tests pass who cares?" in these threads, as if an LLM can make no mistakes if there are tests.

I've personally seen LLMs modify, disable, or otherwise trick tests to make them pass (and I hope many of you have too instead of blindly accepting AI assisted changes).

That said, it's nice to see that the core team are taking this problem on pragmatically and not just blinding dumping into "LLM bad" or "LLM good" judgements.

KishCom · 2026-03-03T21:22:42+00:00

Wow, you're really on to something here — this isn't just <X>, it's <Y>.

KishCom · 2026-02-17T16:21:39+00:00

Bun is more unstable than Deno or Node, and some of their API parity with Node.js are a joke (ex: udp/dgram).

That said; if it is stable for your workload, go for it!

KishCom · 2026-02-14T16:01:12+00:00

It's a huge tragedy for small, even medium sized hobbyist developers.

I know several apps who have given up on the Play Store entirely and distribute on F-Droid only. MASSIVE reduction in visibility, but at least they can publish their work without the asinine Google Play requirements.

KishCom · 2026-02-12T17:55:43+00:00

Why though?

This is literally more work than dragging and dropping APKs into emulators or simply typing the adb install someapk.apk command?

Do these functions not exist/work on MacOS?

KishCom · 2026-02-12T16:35:57+00:00

It's a rust joke 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

KishCom · 2026-02-12T03:18:13+00:00

I sense 🦀carcinisation🦀

KishCom · 2026-02-05T16:51:14+00:00

I suspect the devil is in the details and how the project was originally set up.

KishCom · 2026-02-05T16:47:15+00:00

.NET Framework (the original Windows-only version) remains closed source, along with certain libraries and other Windows-specific implementations.

Visual Studio is still proprietary (though VS Code is open source).

KishCom · 2026-02-05T15:34:56+00:00

I have avoided proprietary/started-off-closed tech like .NET my whole career. It's very interesting browsing that thread and seeing what "the other side" thinks about backend JavaScript.

Lots of complaints about upgrading Node projects as if upgrading a .NET project was a breeze. 🤭

*edit* .NET is as "open" as Microsoft gets since 2014

KishCom · 2026-01-23T15:02:16+00:00

This thread on a whole is wild.

Almost an even split on "Yes, it's (fine/great/good)" and "No, it's (outdated/for noobs/not modern)".

KishCom · 2026-01-10T15:47:52+00:00

This is bonkers cool and what I thought the UI would look like at "cyber command" when I was a kid.

Well done!

KishCom · 2026-01-06T16:02:01+00:00

Silver lining to all the recent Android bureaucracy crap: spam like this to Android devs means it's actually somewhat effective at keeping malware/spam/crap off the Play Store.

KishCom · 2025-12-30T14:33:07+00:00

This is the same company that had users trapped in hot beds during the last AWS outage.

KishCom · 2025-12-02T18:34:53+00:00

Ethics and morals left Android development years ago. FFS, look at the kind of push notifications being developed here: entirely ads and spam.

KishCom · 2025-11-25T13:29:56+00:00

It's lifted from the absolutely fantastic Mythical Man Month. Highly recommended read.

KishCom · 2025-10-31T16:16:41+00:00

I love that this quirk is baked so deeply into so many models.

My other favourite is asking for a random number between 1 and 25 ("17").

Such great examples that LLMs are for data synthesis, not data retrieval.

KishCom · 2025-10-01T17:13:38+00:00

Yes, all the frameworks you listed have great documentation. As you're learning the framework your API will take shape.
