still using asdf? switch to rtx.
- 30x-200x faster
- no need to specify exact versions (e.g.: "node 18" or "jq latest" works great)
- `rtx install --all` to install all runtimes AND plugins with a single command
- backwards compatible with asdf plugins

I make open source dev tools at entire.io like mise, aube, fnox, hk, pitchfork. Previously I wrote the heroku cli and oclif. ex-amazon/meta.
- github.com/jdx/demand just hit 1.0! None of the existing rust CLI prompt libraries fit my needs so I made my own.
- If you enable experimental mode in mise, you'll now be able to install python 24x faster than before because it now uses precompiled pythons. 2.5s vs 60s. That said there are some caveats with precompiled python so some people may need to still use the compiled flavor.
- I’ve spent probably half my time building mise working on CI/CD. I’m not happy with the state of CI/CD tooling. It needs to be easier.
- Replying to @ParakhRiteshMexican cuisine is one of the oldest, most diverse on the planet. It goes back nearly as far as Indian does. Burritos (in their modem form) come from San Francisco.
- I spent my entire morning trying to fix Chrome because it ran a bunch of its text through ROT2. IT fixed it: it was a corrupt Roboto font I had installed.
- there certainly is one thing asdf and rtx have in common: terrible names.
