@praeclarum Yeah but real devs do that too... but there is a social cost in doing it too much.

Me: "Fix this bug"
AI: Proceeds to preprocess inputs to hide the bug and make tests pass
Me: "No dude, that's a HACK"
AI: "Right!" Proceeds to rewrite the tests to hide the bug

Reading this about wayland (kicad.org/blog/2025/06/K…)
I don't think wayland was a mistake but there are serious questions around security vs UX and DX. I'd argue if it's easy on osx/win it should be on Linux too
These are core issues that will stop desktop linux mainstreaming

Went fully physical for wip stuff: large whiteboard, legal pads, post-it notes.
I've tried so many digital apps and systems but they just seem imcompatible with my brain. I either forget to use them or it feels like a second job.

My god, AI will then feed this into itself and will become the baseline.... anyone see a problem?

If you think AI film can’t be art then explain this.

@opencode is still the best for changing models on the fly without silly /model commands
Their UX and thought behind it has that human touch hard for AI to reproduce.
English
Microslop at it again.
Office 365 I preferred and recommended over Google as they had good support. HAD being the key word.
They are trying their best to not support me! Stonks go up I guess is all that matters...
We are all the issue with investments causing our own misery

@ibuildthecloud How much AI are you using?
I have to go hard on multiple projects at once to start hitting anything it seems or running loops.
Maybe I babysit my AI too much but I seem to spend a lot of time writing clearer specs/fixes/UX testing.
English
I'm so sick of dealing with token usage. Can I just buy an NVIDIA rack and put it in my garage? I am curious what it would cost to run something like kimi full strength. Obviously a lot, but still curious.
English
Automatic AI that is being ignored or cancelled is such a waste.
I get that companies have to demonstrate a feature but I had google "AI Magicing" my PDF's I was checking over.
100's of PDF's being AI'ed for really no benefit, I guess its better than the wasted video gen?
English
I've become much more aggressive towards my AI since first coding with.
Weirdly I feel that it does a better job though when I'm not as nice.

Matt Blacker 🦔 retweetet
at work everyone was uncomfortable with using "master" as the main branch name on git so i changed it to "slave_coordinator"

Such a pitty that Anthropic are splitting devs.
Using Github Copilot means I can use a range of models including opus/sonnet and within opencode if I want to.
I cancelled my Claude sub last month, opencode + copilot combo is better can claudecode ever was.
dax@thdxr
opencode 1.3.0 will no longer autoload the claude max plugin we did our best to convince anthropic to support developer choice but they sent lawyers it's your right to access services however you wish but it is also their right to block whoever they want we can't maintain an official plugin so it's been removed from github and marked deprecated on npm appreciate our partners at openai, github and gitlab who are going the other direction and supporting developer freedom

@sabine_s_ Server side validations I do understand, not everything can be client side (or requires some SS callback). Done well it would be quick, good feedback/messages, easier for multi-lang messages, etc.
But typically the forms just suck and were poorly thought through
English
government forms that don't validate until you hit submit. Processes expecting you to magically know undocumented steps. Every Bürgeramt frustration becomes a UX lesson: never do this to users 🤦♀️

@robbyrussell Uptime commands in IRC to show off! Bringing back them memories
I wasn't that advanced, my Win2k box was solid + mirc + vnc. Good enough as a kid.
English
Everyone learning tmux so they can reconnect to their Claude session... is basically how so many of us were keeping our IRC sessions connected to Dalnet in the late 90s...freenode in the early 2000s. Was using screen + bitchx back then.
Remember how we used to brag about our Linux boxes' uptime? Fun memories.

@Dave_DotNet It is amazing how many people don't think about the simple order of getting data.
DB = Filing cabinet. If I ask for 5 accounts do you bring me the filing cabinet with everything then get them out or do you just find them first and bring the 5 accounts folders?
Or I'm old
English
IEnumerable = bad, IQueryable = good 🙁
This type of commentary is all over LinkedIn.
What matters more is when we materialize the query (e.g. call ToListAsync())

@nbevans Yeah I've had some.... questionable takes for F#.
I have had success getting a different AI analyse and fix the code based on F# standards
English
lol codex what? GetAwaiter().GetResult() in F# code, my god
jobs are safe people
English
@nbevans is this because of scammy apps or just we don't want anyone getting around our walled garden?
Don't really do much in the mobile world so this is very alien to me not being able to control the os delivery

You have to wait 24 hrs to sideload apps on Android later this year

@mattpocockuk I think this is why the last 6 months or so we've seen a big increase in quality.
The workable context window grew with the new models. 12 months ago the usable context windows were tiny in comparison
English
Doing some experiments today with Opus 4.6's 1M context window.
Trying to push coding sessions deep into what I would consider the 'dumb zone' of SOTA models: >100K tokens.
The drop-off in quality is really noticeable. Dumber decisions, worse code, worse instruction-following.
Don't treat 1M context window any differently.
It's still 100K of smart, and 900K of dumb.

@backblaze It's time I move on (tiny customer don't worry).
Reason? you couldn't be bothered to just add a "Company" field saved for invoices. Still 5 years later I have to do it on each one? WHY!!
+ It's not emailed to me and there is no quick PDF download option. So annoying
English
Tell me, how did Twitter turn from a great place to find a community to an absolute cesspool of brain dead engagement bait? It’s not that I don’t know, I just need to hear someone say it.
