A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Recently switched from using Z-Shell for the past decade to Fish [1].

When paired with the Fisher plugin manager [2] and the Tide prompt plugin [3], it's been a much more pleasant experience than I was expecting.

Like many before me, I have synthesized my setup into a bootstrap script I can run on a brand-new mac and everything Just Works™—you can find it here, though I recommend you use it for reference and not for your personal setup, as it is very opinionated and changing often: https://github.com/sds/.files?tab=readme-ov-file#dot-files

It's a pretty stark departure from my prior solution, but after a decade the YAGNI principle [4] has really rung true for me—I spent far too much time making my configuration framework [5] customizable to an unnecessary degree.

Fish just released their rewrite in Rust! A Herculean effort—very impressive.

Building @warpcast and @farcaster. Previously Coinbase, Brigade, Causes.

Wow, that's amazing! Rust is such a powerful language and I can only imagine the hard work that went into this rewrite. Congrats to the Fish team!
