Omarchy Quattro is out!! This is one of the greatest software releases in my professional career. I hope you enjoy using it just as much as I did building it ✌️ omarchy.org/
I understand the appeal in trying to find the first plausible fortress in our retreat from writing code, but if you think it's "architecture", I have bad news for you. The models are also very good at that.
X monetization is kinda crazy. This makes it $25,000 in payouts over the past month! I might not be able to pay for my Omarchy donation in a year, but a Tesla Roadster should be possible 😄
I ported the Omarchy screensaver engine (ttfx) from Rust to x86-64 assembler, and it's up to 17x faster!! One-shot translation by Opus 5.5. We keep drilling until the agentic drill bit hits bedrock! github.com/omacom/ttfx/pull/…
1/ Today we're announcing the stable Cua Driver release for Omarchy - a new foundation for computer use, built into the OS from the ground up.
Over the last month, we worked directly with @dhh, @SpencerGBull and @vaxryy to bring a native synthetic cursor to Omarchy's Hyprland compositor, enabling true multi-cursor computer use at the OS level.
Cua Driver is open source and available at github.com/trycua/cua
Finally where I want my Omarchy setup to be (for now)
About a month ago I was Mac exclusive, now I have a brand new Mac Mini on my other desk that I haven’t even bothered to open up and install. You quickly get very addicted to the Omarchy speed and productivity 😅🚀📈
So here goes - Roast or Rate my daily workstation + laptop dock + servers + Token factory
.. the workstation under the table is my old gaming rig , I sacrificed windows for Omarchy and now hope that Steam will run my civilization games 🤷♂️ otherwise doesn’t really matter as there’s so much going on in the AI/Tech space at the moment I don’t have time for gaming anyways 🤓

I'll be at the Omarchy Copenhagen Meetup 001 on Monday! It's already completely full with 150 people, but there's a waiting list if you fancy your chances. Excited to see so many Danes being part of this new computing paradigm as pioneers 🇩🇰 luma.com/j6wrz0ww?tk=JW4FIv
Thrilled to see @flavorjones promoted to the Rails Core team. He's been a pillar of the Ruby community for ages, working tirelessly on everything from Nokogiri to tailwindcss-rails, and now leading the security response in the age of agents. Three cheers huray! 👏
I'm honored and humbled to join the Rails core team.
I'll be focusing on security and improvements to Active Storage and Action Text. Please reach out if you have thoughts on what would make your work easier.
A quarter of 37signals showed up at #RailsWorld! Great conversations about Basecamp and HEY, hundreds of Omarchy USB sticks handed out, and hours of impromptu Q&A at the booth. Loved it.
The magic of this agentic moment is generalization. Models solving problems, wielding tools, and completing tasks they were never directly trained on. Don't get stuck on the stochastic parrot meme. You'll miss all the sparkling creativity and novel thinking in front of your eyes.
We need other people to orient ourselves correctly. You must tether yourself to humanity or the isolation will spin you into despair. So seek it out! Attend an Omarchy Meetup. The future always looks brighter when we're working on it together. omarchy.org/meetups
Slop is just a feature suggestion wrapped in code that nobody has any emotional attachment to. It's an executable idea. Who cares if the code needs to be rewritten. I love slop!
Rust is a good prompt compilation target for the moment, but so is C++. And soon assembler. Then microcode. Myopic to think we're going to stop the agentic drill bit until it reaches computing bedrock.
The value of programs going forward will be the collection of decisions and designs that encapsulates "what does it do and how does it do it". There is no more long-term value in a Rust code base than there is in any other. Any migration is but a prompt away.
