Here's the 2min tldr:

Warp is a fast, Rust-based terminal. Key features include: 1. Modern editor that lets you edit input like an IDE 2. Input and output are grouped in blocks for easier navigation 3. Integrated AI for command suggestions, debugging, and chat 4. "Warp Drive" to save parameterized commands as reusable workflows (like aliases but easier to use and more powerful)


Mich from Warp here. Telemetry is completely optional in Warp.


Is it on by default or off by default?


It's opt-out. Users can opt out before sign up or after sign up.


This is really sad. I found comfort walking in public because I assumed if I’m stabbed/mugged, people will help me. I’m wrong.


> With this strategy, GC pre-funds a company’s S&M budget. In return, GC is entitled only to the customer value created by that spend, and GC’s entitlement is capped at a fixed amount. After GC reaches that fixed amount, the remaining lifetime value of the customers is the company’s to keep forever.

Good to see more ways of growing without giving up equity.


tldr; My teammate solved a bug by finding a detailed commit message in Chromium’s repo. High-quality git commits are an underrated form of documentation.


I would call it "better than nothing"-documentation as you probably have to be a bit desperate to look here for docs. Probably took effort to reverse engineer the behavior too or from someone that knows the in and outs of the mac window manager.

Although thinking about it, it probably is common for window managers to have some kind of drag map because they also need to to allow to drag stuff with apps that completely crashed.

But yes, really nice that the commit explained the change. By experience more extensive messages are available where others also invested an unexpected amount of time.


I like the concrete advice here on how to navigate distrust:

1. Lead with your bias. 2. Avoid cheap shots. 3. Be your own biggest critic. 4. You can still talk shit about software, just not your competitors‘ software. 5. Be generous with your expertise.


I agree with this take. Moreover, it takes a seasoned software architect to verify that the code generated is correct, clean, and idiomatic. Someone still needs to shepherd the machine.


…today.


> There's actually a growing body of evidence that shows the emergent ability of LLMs to reason (the so-called "chain of thought" ability) arises only when LLMs are trained on huge amounts of code, not just natural language. Natural language training data provides the ability to sound human, but it is the programming language training data that provides LLMs with the ability to be logical.

Good on Sourcegraph to contribute back to the open source community. LLMs rely more on open source code than meets the eye.


This is probably one of the most sincere and personal product announcements from a corporation I’ve read.


Warp engineer here. Thank you for the kind words.

We do want to support linux once we get the product experience right. We decided to build in Rust and set up a UI framework because we wanted to make it easier for us to port to Linux.

For now, every platform we support entails additional engineering overhead that takes away from getting to product-market fit. Once there, we will invest resources into supporting Linux, Windows, and the Web.
