a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

A future version of Ember will come with a new templating engine known as HTMLBars.

The original motivation for HTMLBars was to allow helpers and properties to have better contextual information about what they were bound to.

So for example, consider a template like this:

<a href="{{url}}">{{link}}</a>

Destroy Provisioners in Terraform

Feature Spec - Issue #386

Terraform users would like to see Terraform support destroy provisioners that would run before a destroy action. There are many use cases documented in the terraform github issue #386 on how this would be helpful to users.

It seems the Terraform community has a shared consesus that custom destroy steps should be handled somehow with a terraform provisioner. This feature spec is an attempt to propose a solution to the following question.

What would be the best way to implement custom destroy action with provisioners?

Working Clawdbot/Moltbot setup with local Ollama model

[Update 2026-02-02: nemotron-3-nano also performs well on same setup; see comment below]

This is a guide to setting up Clawdbot/Moltbot with a local Ollama model that actually works -- meaning it has good tool use and decent speed. The main requirement is 48GB of VRAM. I have yet to find a model that fits on less than this and still works on Moltbot.

The setup involves creating a tool-tuned variant of qwen2.5:72b and modifying a range of configs in Moltbot. At the end you'll get a local Moltbot instance that can use tools (exec, read, write, web search), read skills, and perform agentic tasks without any cloud API dependencies. On my system I get ~16 t/s and have yet to come across a tool/skill that my bot can't use.

Claude Opus wrote the first draft of this Gist, then I (a human) checked and edited it.
