I find it odd that people recommend Docker for sandboxing agentic coding tools. Isn't it easier to just create a separate user account on the machine? It's an established security boundary, and viewing output is easy (just make the user's home directory world readable).

TIL rustc has a style guide for suggestions! https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/diagnostics.html#suggestion-style-guide They recommend avoiding 'did you mean' or 'the following' in favour of direct suggestions and highlighted positions.

Difftastic is getting closer to being a tool that I can recommend for daily usage! I've just tagged v0.4: https://crates.io/crates/difftastic This release includes much smarter diff logic, considering newlines and nesting depth to produce more comprehensible diffs. It's faster too :)
