New post: Introducing Git Revenge, and whether you should use it https://risadams.com/blog/2026/11/05/introducing-git-revenge
Ris AdamsIntroducing Git Revenge, and whether you should use itGit Revenge is a desktop git client that stays fast on huge repositories. Point it at the Linux kernel's 1.5 million commits and the first rows of the graph are ready in about 415ms. It drives the git you already have installed, with no accounts, cloud features or AI, and it's free under Apache-2.0. It runs on Windows and macOS, with Linux arriving in 0.10.0.

I've been using GitKraken for a few years. every year it tends to get more expensive and now seems to be 100% focused on AI features that I do not use. so. I'm creating my own! introducing an early concept of: https://gitrevenge.com/

resurrecting an old post y'all have probably not seen: https://risadams.com/blog/2025/07/10/surprise-driven-development
Ris AdamsSurprise Driven DevelopmentWelcome to Surprise Driven Development (SDD) — the revolutionary methodology where uncertainty isn't a bug, it's a feature. Why plan when you can panic? Why document when you can discover? Join me as we explore the chaotic art of building software where every deployment is Christmas morning and every bug is a delightful present from your past self.

Mac folks! Just bought a new mac studio M5 Max. I CANNOT figure out how to get my display working, neither the HDMI port or USB-C seems to work. (I also have a USB-C->DisplayPort cable that might work, but I can't find it...) Any thoughts?…

New post: What Our Flag Means Death taught me about celebrating diversity https://risadams.com/blog/2026/10/26/our-flag-means-death-diversity-self-identity
Ris AdamsWhat Our Flag Means Death taught me about celebrating diversityStede Bonnet is a terrible pirate. He's wealthy, he's polite, he's read too many books, and he'd rather talk about feelings than plunder anything. He leaves his family, buys a ship, calls himself the Gentleman Pirate, and sets off to be someone else. The joke of Our Flag Means Death is that he's wildly unqualified. The surprise is what the show does with that joke. It lets the people around him be unqualified in their own ways, and then it builds a home out of all of it.

Anyone here a Scrum master? I'm curious how many of us get to split our time between SM tasks and "real" coding; and if that has any impact on hobby projects. for me personally, I love coding, but don't get to do it often in my day job these days, so I find I spend way more…

I have gone through like 6 scrum masters at work and none of them did any coding. Only 1 actually wanted to and had the knowledge to do it, the others were strictly SM

Ris AdamsIs there a future without AI?Yesterday the moderators of r/opensource, a community of about 392,000 people, banned any project that "uses AI, is made by AI, or is intended for AI." By the afternoon there was a revolt, a rival subreddit, and a pile of people pointing out that the Linux kernel takes AI-assisted code now. I don't think the rule will survive the week. The instinct behind it is another matter, because plenty of us have felt it.

I love this post reminds me of one of mine! It's often the thing I've battled with quite a bit, one thing I must say is I don't think it's going anywhere too and for the people who think it's all bad and nothing good will come of it; I think that's the wrong way of looking at…

Today(-ish) I shipped Janus: https://github.com/risadams/Janus It's a hobby project that let's me combine working with Claude code and also a local LM-studio server. OpenAPI support coming soon(-ish)
