SheetKit은 처음으로 설계나 의사 결정 외에는 모든 구현을 코딩 에이전트에게 위임하면서 만들었습니다. 이 과정에서 코딩 에이전트로 어떻게 큰 작업을 효율적으로 하는지, 또 어떻게 코딩 에이전트와 함께 잘 작업할 수 있을지 등을 많이 배웠습니다.

이 경험에 대해서도 시간 여유가 될 때 정식으로 글로 적어보고자 합니다.

지난 주말부터 열심히 토큰을 팍팍 태워 만든 TypeScript/Rust용 엑셀 라이브러리 SheetKit, 방금 0.4.0를 배포했습니다.

문서 퀄리티가 아직 좋다고는 말을 못해도 API 레퍼런스와 문서 웹도 생겼고, 단순한 값 읽기/쓰기를 넘어 복잡한 기능들도 많이 추가되었습니다. 이제 폭발적인 구현보다는 적당한 스피드로 문서의 완성도를 높이고 WebAssembly나 Bun/Deno/Python 등에 대한 바인딩 등을 고민해볼 계획입니다. 문서의 완성도도 좀 어느 정도 올라간다면 이리저리 SheetKit을 소개하는 정식 글도 한번 여기저기에 올려보려고 합니다.

이미 Node.js쪽 binding은 열심히 개밥먹기하고 있는 중인데, Rust나 Node.js 환경에서 엑셀 파일을 다룰 일이 있는 분들은 한번 써보시고 이슈나 피드백을 남겨주시면 너무 좋을 것 같습니다.

Node.js에서 SheetKit은 다른 라이브러리에 비해 거의 모든 벤치마크 테스트에서 성능 우위를 보였습니다. 웹 문서에는 SheetKit이 어떻게 메모리를 덜 사용하고 Node.js 바인딩에서 영역 전환 시의 오버헤드를 줄였는지도 정리되어 있습니다.

We are committed to growing the Open Social Web. For us, that starts by working to overcome barriers of entry in the network and highlighting the things done well.

On March 2nd, @fediforum are hosting an event dedicated to Growing the OSW. It's a chance to talk about all the issues as well as the long list of things the Social Web is doing well.

Ahead of it, we've published our Position Paper. You can see it here 👉

Big update pushed for #BSSG - my Bash-based static site generator

This is a major pre-release update, not the official release yet, and I would really love some testing and feedback before cutting it.

Highlights:
* New build mode: BUILD_MODE="ram" / --build-mode ram
* This is a memory-first build mode designed to drastically reduce disk I/O during the build.
* On real projects, this results in a ~2× speedup, and in some cases well over 3× faster builds, depending on:

* site size
* number of generators involved
* storage speed
* parallelism available

In RAM mode you also get a stage timing summary, so you can see exactly where build time is spent. This makes performance tuning much more transparent and data-driven.

Under the hood:
The core build system was heavily refactored:
* Clear separation between orchestration, generators, and indexing
* Cleaner and more predictable generation flow for posts, pages, tags, authors, archives, and feeds
* Asset and theme handling moved into a dedicated build module
* Static file copying and theme CSS processing are no longer scattered around the codebase

Performance and robustness:
* Smarter rebuild and caching logic
* Improved parallel execution paths
* Uses parallel when available
* Shell-based worker fallback when it isn’t
* Parallel behavior is now more robust and easier to reason about

Stability and polish:
* Fixed an edge case with locale-specific timing parsing
* Configuration and documentation updated to match new options and tuning knobs
* Overall codebase is simpler, clearer, and easier to extend

Before tagging the official release, I need help testing this.

* Please test from the main branch or commit and report issues *

Repo: https://brew.bsd.cafe/stefano/BSSG

Huge thanks to everyone who tests, reports issues, or pokes at it.

This release comes from a lot of refactoring and profiling, and fresh eyes really help

Not very important question for people who listen to audiobooks (or use text to speech/ screen reader to read): do you also listen x1.5 to x2 during the day while you work, clean, workout but x1.2 only when you read to fall asleep? I'm curious now.

My GitHub issue searching is failing, does anyone know of a feature request issue on PDM asking for an npx-style features, a la `uvx`?

That's literally the only uv feature that I use and that doesn't have a 1:1 equivalent in PDM.

Want to know how much memory (in bytes) your machine has installed? Let
sysctl(8) tell you with the following command:

sysctl hw.realmem

The realmem value is memory before the kernel and modules are loaded, whereas
hw.physmem is what is left after they were loaded.

The number of active CPUs is displayed using this command:

sysctl hw.ncpu

Youtube tip you might find useful:

Trying to find something specific, but Youtube keeps putting irrelevant "people also search for" stuff in results? Just add a before: filter with a date in the future. "your search before:2027" gets rid of that stuff.

Obsidian uses local files, so all your standard terminal commands work for editing/moving/searching/etc

what #Obsidian CLI adds is everything else:

- interacting with the UI
- Obsidian's internal functions, e.g. base queries
- deterministic results like the "orphans" command
- easily create a personal plugin now that your agent can access devtools, console, screenshots, eval, etc

See the CLI docs!

Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line.

#Obsidian CLI is now available with 1.12 (early access).

"ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight."

It's also an action of protection of society.
Eventually, some form of fascism will be in force, regardless of society. The less surveillance there is, the better chances the society has for ridding itself of the fascism and returning to safe tracks.

We as a society "have nothing to hide" right now, but in the future we will, some day.
Who supports surveillance is an enemy of the organized society.
