@bcherny @luisgonzaleznf Yeah, they fail within a few minutes of use about 95% of the time for me. It’s a super promising technical preview.

@luisgonzaleznf Actively working on improving reliability, is that what you mean?

🤯 You can now launch Claude Code sessions on your laptop *from your phone*
This blew my mind the first time I tried it

@samlambert I mean, given how often AWS outages don’t make it to the status page. Can we blame small companies for simply following industry best practices?

@sampullara hCaptcha seems to think I’m a robot, but I’m quite sure that I’m not.

over the past two years I've gone from using the @augmentcode extension in @intellijidea for completion, then to chats and then to an agent. at the beginning of January I started using Intent. my usage of completions, chats and standalone agents has gone virtually to zero.
English
@sampullara Confusing flow? Download, create an account, verify -- endless loop with hCaptcha. But also, the splash page implied I needed an invite code? :¯\_(ツ)_/¯:
English
personally, I think that this way of working will take over everyones workflows this year. maybe there is something after this, but right now this is the most productive development environment I have ever used.

@copyconstruct Yup, your code will not work in production they way you expected at some point in the future and it’s going to be a bad day if your only option is to hope you can Ralph-Wiggum your way out of it.
English
Unpopular opinion:
Unless you’re just prototyping, you should aim to understand as close to 100% of production code generated by LLMs.
Yes, all of it.
Effective mental models are still important for humans to sustainably maintain and evolve a codebase via prompting alone.

Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.

Been at this party way too many times, when the convo goes like this within the first 30 mins you know it’s time to leave

@granawkins Guy on the right looks like he just hopped out of the camper van he woke up in ten minutes ago. No prep. Did he have time for mouth wash? No idea. I feel for the interview who arrived on time and in appropriate business professional attire.

@tnm Was there ever any alpha? Or, just a bunch of fantasies that rapidly commoditized to the lcd.
English
@tnm But Ted, that’s hard. And not always fun. Building and showing off an office space is a lot more fun. Just look at how much influencer content is them just building a new studio!

GitHub wanted more of our distributed team to move to SF, we spent 3M+ on an office buildout.
Not only did it not encourage people to move; locals didn’t even come in.
I used to describe it as “empty as mattress store,” which it was.
Build your business.

I spent $1.5M building our office after raising a seed round. My co-founder thought I was crazy. Here's what changed his mind... 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭: After our seed round, I looked at our team. Mostly immigrants. Working 6-day weeks. Building something incredibly hard. The office wasn't just where they worked. It was becoming their home. So I made a bet, what if we actually designed for that? The requirements I gave our real estate agent: - Shower (for ocean swims between meetings) - as close to the beach as possible, ability to quickly go surfing/kiting etc. - Big enough kitchen for a chef - Room for an actual sauna People thought I was building a vacation house, I thought: I am building a place worth the sacrifice. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: - Found one of SF's best real estate lawyers. Negotiated hard. - Negotiated Tenant Improvements + First year for free - Effective cost: $250k (not $1.5M) Then I was extremely prescriptive with design and construction. No endless back-and-forth. I drew what I wanted. Told them to build it. Cut iteration time by 80%. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭: - Nordic vibes (keeping our European souls) - Industrial kitchen - Sauna room (yes, like our product: sauna.ai) - Ocean access - Space that feels like home Conclusions: - This "expensive" decision already paid for itself. - In SF, recruiters charge $100k per engineer. We've closed multiple hires -because candidates walked in and said: "I want to work here." But the real ROI isn't only financial. It's this: - We do Friday AMA as a BBQs on the beach. - People actually use the surfboards. - The team's lifestyle supports the intensity of the work. EVERYONE WANTS IN, doesnt matter if events, hiring or using the space as coworking (@bertie_ai and I open it up for our portfolio companies) My co-founder's response after 3 months: "You were right." Some founders optimize for low burn rate. I optimize for: Can great people sustain this pace for years? Because great companies aren't built in one sprint. They're built by people who can go the distance. We're hiring: wordware.ai/careers (Comment if you want intros to our real estate agent, lawyers or construction team - happy to connect)

There's a database CEO out there who, and I choose this word carefully, is an online bully. He frequently turns discussions into personal attacks. And not just with peers - even with junior engineers. And he's seemingly accumulated a following of other online bullies.
This is not the world I want to live in. I want to live in a world where we debate ideas, not attack people. Where we assume positive intent, not dishonesty. Where we go back to our nerd roots and collectively try to help developers. Where we build people up, not tear them down.
Some of you know who I am talking about. Most of you won't.
But I want to make sure everyone knows: I have no tolerance for bullies. I'm here to help others. And if you disagree with something I say, then let's talk about it. But as soon as you start making personal attacks, I'm out.
Team, let's do better. Developers deserve better than dumb little twitter fights.

@joshu That’s too bad, though I suppose I’m glad I missed all that. They were fun, and I had been wondering why they came to an end.
English
@mhat several people misbehaved and/or took liberties with my hospitality so i discontinued the event. i ended up replacing it with the self racing cars event and people behaved way better
English
@joshu Makes sense, those seemed like a lot to put on — but they were fun!

@tnm I’m for databases using protocols+drivers that are or at least close to zero copy, support multi-query, result streaming/batching, etc. So many are so shockingly bad.
English
sql over http is insane, and PS is (wisely) doing this just to take customers.
no further investment should be made.
do not standandize an vile anti-pattern.
put your database close your app. talk to it over the ordinary secure protocol of the database. it's not hard.
Nikita | Scaling Postgres@nikitabase
SQL over http should be standardized. It makes too much sense. So great step by @PlanetScale. Also do implement HTTP and not just web sockets - it’s much lower latency as pg protocol is quite chatty for establishing a connection

@TaliaGraceSable @Aella_Girl You can be the ultimate 3d printer!

@Aella_Girl it sounds pretty special to literally create my baby in my body
also awful in many ways
i gotta experience this madness at least once

Is it crazy to prefer to get pregnant myself rather than using a surrogate, even if it makes strong financial sense to use a surrogate? It feels romantic and idealistic (in a good way)
But if I had a terrible first pregnancy I'd probably consider it

It’s kind of crazy to how fearful people in tech are of turning 40.
Besides all the talk of being unemployable after 40, there are deeper fears.
People in tech just don’t see old people that often. My wife is in finance. She has multiple coworkers over 65.
The only people most people in tech know over 65 are close relatives that share every medical thing that ever happened to them.
So tech people walk around literally feeling like turning 40 is a fast track to death.
And their timelines on apps knows it. People in tech are about 100% more freaked out about the rise in early onset colon cancer. They’re being
fed stories on their timelines, being told that 40s is when it gets you.
People in tech talk about colonoscopies in their 30s.
They obsess about not dying. Don’t die they say. The undercurrent - you’re definitely going to sooner than you expect.
In concert this all creates a tremendously fearful workforce.
I don’t know what to do about this. But we need more examples of old people in tech. If for no other reason than to keep the stallions calm.

Hey @BrevilleUSA , I dare say the spacers on the back of your Mini Smart Oven are tragically insufficient. :( We loved this thing for the ~two weeks that we’ve had it!

A few days of around the house usage vs. a year. Interesting that it’s not the orange layer, but the ring around the lenses where I see the most wear. The orange makes it much more noticeable but it’s also seems much prevalent than with the 16.
