Fortunately, U.S. startups never bullshit and posture to get VC money, and in the rare cases they do, it’s not posted to HN. Right?

It sounds like you're basically saying that the post you responded to is correct.

Wow, this is surprising.

I’m happy for the founders, they’re great folks. I contributed to CirrusCI a bit in the past and it was a great experience. I even advocated for Cirrus in a couple of my last $DAYJOBs (with varied success). Congrats Fedor!

I’m very sad they’re shutting down, though. IMHO CirrusCI was very close to a perfect CI system (I wrote a blogpost about it [0]). I’ll now have to find something to replace it with in my personal projects. I guess I’ll run their cirrus-cli in GitHub Actions for a while. But GitHub Actions is really poor. I heard some good things about Buildkite.

Having tried many other CI systems, all of which ultimately turned out to be subpar, it makes me incredibly sad to discover only now that Cirrus CI is (was?) quite a bit better than them. :( Thanks for the blog post, though!


Well, check out RWX! We don't do exactly everything like CirrusCI did -- most notably, we aren't open source and we are still managing all of our own infrastructure for running CI right now -- but we have a great "local" story and a validation CLI (`rwx lint`), and a lot of fundamental changes that make us better than other CI systems too :)

Why would anyone move to a closed-source tool like yours? It's 2026.

More like employees number 32,463 and 32,464 - they’re two people from what I seen on GitHub over the years. (Incredibly strong two people)

So they have even less of a reason to put out BS like this. They have no employees they need to talk to.

Could have been a private email to customers.


The free Kotlin Multiplatorm plugin provides 1st class Swift support in IntelliJ IDEA. It’s heavily based on old AppCode codebase.

As I understand it, though, it's really not well suited to server-side Swift development. Doesn't leverage SPM, requires Xcode, etc. I'd LOVE a revival of AppCode (or Swift support in CLion) that would facilitate server-side Swift development.

Maybe he should have clarified “we (with a spine and moral compass) in America”. Obviously he didn’t mean leeches like you.


Ukraine has a democratically elected government and president who isn’t a dictator.

(I’m not trying to justify US action in Venezuela here. Just answering your question)


Ukraine hasn’t had an election in 6 years.


That's true, but how can elections be safely conducted during an active phase of the war?

Only during 2025 russian forces launched over 54,000 long-range drones and over 1,900 missiles


> Only during 2025 russian forces launched over 54,000 long-range drones and over 1,900 missiles

This would be a lot more compelling of an argument if the Ukrainians were not trying to use social media to PsyOp the world into believing that life in Ukraine is going on as usual.

I could accept the idea that an election can’t be effectively fortified during a war, but if the war was as popular as the Ukrainian government wants me to believe, why are men barred from leaving the country and being abducted off the streets to serve as conscripts?


Please, please. I hope they pull out ASAP!


This. The round & slimy language is what big corps do. I don't like how this post is written – but what really matters here is that they are doing a good job moving away from GitHub. I hope more OSS does this.


It is funny, go complain on reddit


weirdest take on code formatting I've ever read

imho uniformity of what the code looks like > some single person's opinion

it's so satisfying to me when I just run "gofmt" and know the thing is formatted well.


Gofmt's style is no one's favorite, yet gofmt is everyone's favorite.


If I didn't want opinions, I'd join a cult.
