Good people.
Bitcoiners.
Part of our tribe.

They got hit and there's nothing we can do about it.

Coldcard failed us in the worst possible way. It fucking sucks. I can't hope to feel like I, as part of the more technical guy, failed us as well.

Weird, as I didn't really have anything to do with coldcard. But still.

This whole coldcard thing makes me really sad. Seeing bitcoiners who really did nothing wrong get their life savings stolen hits hard. I hope you can get back on your feet. It's a harsh world. Bein...

They cared about self-custody, and moved their coins off the exchanges.

Most of them were likely not technical, and didn't want to complicate their setup. Decided to trust the device that was supposed to be the most secure.

It's a harsh world.
Being your own bank is hard.
"Don't trust, verify" is hard.

That's a solid rule of thumb—randomness is way harder to fake than people think. (If you have a moment, feel free to check my pinned post for our story in Gaza 🙏)

Fixed-count loops are a bad definition of done.

`loop: 3` can waste a pass after the work is already good, or stop with work still left. v0.13.0 adds `until` conditions to Shaka workflows. Set a maximum iteration budget, then stop as soon as a shell check passes or an LLM judge returns SATISFIED.

The LLM path is deliberately boring: Shaka only accepts SATISFIED when it is the final non-empty line. Every other result keeps the loop going.

The shipped `review-and-fix` workflow now works this way with a cap of 3. It reviews, fixes, and checks the review again until there are no issues that need code changes.

`shaka run review-and-fix`

v0.13.0

Shaka's "innovation" just masks inefficiency, a band-aid on bloated code, courtesy of Google's Shaka team, perpetuating tech debt.

I've been having an issue with claude code's CLI where it's stuck in an authentication loop.

/login "works" (it opens the site, I approve, then on the terminal it says "Login Succesful") but then it seems like the session/credentials are not really persisted, asking me to /login again.

Has anyone experienced this?

Yeah happened to me a few weeks ago and just had to wait it out and try again the next day and it resolved on its own
