Large updates
I’m currently coming back to 3.5 problems right now:
I want to integrate mosh with libghostty, for the umpteenth time. The main issue is that the main issue you’d think you’d solve (no custom VT100 parser) doesn’t solve the diffing over the wire issue, unless you think sending 100Kb every time you scroll up in neovim is good. It’s hard without ecosystem buy-in and legacy protocols…
I want to really formalize what devcontainers look like, because it’s 2026 and we’ve had containerization since forever, and yet, at least at my workplace, it’s still awful. We just have one run container, which is good, but then for development, it’s a mix of using it as a build container, hoping intellisense does its job, and reminding people about root access semantics in Docker, specifically. We also are coding in C++, probably the worst language for dependency hell. There’s also questions like, “How does python work in this container?” or “How do you save your shell history” and other ‘nice’ things like that. I think targeting vscode is probably the best, but I want to get this for neovim too, for my sake.
Building on top of that, I really like the vision of an artifact repository, but actually standardizing that at a company is hard, and importantly, the artifact repository workflow only works when you have isolated developers who don’t reason across entire stacks and repositories and you can sit in a nice cushy office with powerful machines atyour disposal. I want the ability to “port” that wherever is needed. But maybe I’m just going to end up shooting myself in my own foot, and this is optimizing for a not common use case…
I want to work on my dotfiles better and how it actually interacts with real programming. It’s currently suitable for my small company, but it’s kind of wacky. Using nix to pull in everything I need is like, not a good idea, but it’s somehow the best I have.
Small updates
Applying to jobs. Both startups with high technical bars, hopefully I can get in. I’d be at the bottom in terms of technical skill if I got in, but I hope my enthusiasm shows through!
I’ve become a gacha whale for project sekai…
On the whole, haven’t really had time or motivation to dive more into KVM internals and such. Work, life, and play has been busy.
