@run4pancakes @leah_hat My point here is that it's just soooooooo culturally ingrained. I wfh. I have baby in my room till ~4am right now. I take kids to school & activities 50% of time. Still, didn't dawn on her

@run4pancakes @leah_hat I had to actively remind my wife that she could just leave the kids at home with me for a lunch 90mins away on Monday with some college friends. (Our youngest is 3 weeks old) I'm like homie, there's formula, you have a pump. Just go be you not mom for a bit

I feel insane in a FB group with someone asking about leaving their 19 month old for a weekend retreat and every other comment is “NO I WOULD NEVER LEAVE A CHILD THAT YOUNG”

@aarondfrancis @LaraconUS Mic+dress are a pair, I'm sure that's fine though?

@LaraconUS whoever runs this account, can you get me a mic like this pls

No introduction need 🎙️ @aarondfrancis is returning to MC Laracon 2026. Creator of faster.dev and soloterm.com, Aaron keeps the show on track. We can’t wait to have him back. Join us July 28-29 in Boston. laracon.us

new model for engineering team structure in 2026: 2 people only one pirate and one architect the pirate's job is to move as fast as possible to develop valuable, shipped product features by vibe coding. the architect's job is to turn the product surface discovered by the pirate into a reliable, structured machine—also by vibe coding, but at a slower, more well-reasoned pace. every product needs a pirate but most product's only need an architect once they some form of PMF, and in that case they usually don't need one full-time. architects can work across many codebases and solve interesting technical challenges. pirates go hard on a product that they own end-to-end.

@adamwathan dang im so sorry adam. hope they recover well

Our three week old had emergency bowel surgery last night 😔 super hard stuff. Hug your kids.

@adamwathan @antirez might be the first time in history chamath was wrong about something huh

@antirez 100% agree.

Wow, I totally disagree with this statement. At the current state, AI actually amplifies the developer to developer difference. If you were a 10x developer, you had good ideas + architectural clarity, this is a brutal advantage when using AI. Steering is a fundamental part of today's AI development.

@sanjfomojis @billyrestey @lifofifo Well yeah, that's how he dresses. Why would you picture something else?

@billyrestey Everytime I think of @lifofifo I will now imagine him wearing a silk shirt with fingerless gloves and black fingernails

Ordinals' True Believers Still Hunting For Rare Sats "Mass psychosis prevails as connoisseurs continue to embed digital artifacts directly into Bitcoin's blockchain—citing hardest provenance and durability over generations of digital art history."

@jamonholmgren @DavidKPiano I do think there's some workflow problems to be solved around shipping slop to staging envs as UX tests, and how to keep track of that / keep clean code shipping to prod while running more quick experiments But rules of tech debt & control gates are largely unchanged

@DavidKPiano Agree ... I review every line of code still. I have time; I reserve my whole day to review the night shift's code if I need to. I'm still shipping very quickly, even so. What I don't have time for is shipping slop.

Not reviewing the code is just laziness Not talking about text/styles or reading every single token; any code relevant to the main critical application logic should be reviewed Good engineers can pattern-match large blocks of code and OK it in a few seconds. Don't be lazy.

@jessethanley @aarondfrancis @simonhamp Jesse vs @jamonholmgren Cage fight incoming?

@aarondfrancis @simonhamp Has anyone posted proof of stuff they are running overnight that is productive (yields value to their customers)?

Goal: be so productive when in front of the computer that you don't need to have a bot do stuff for you when you're not in front of it

@AzaelOfficial Personally I think of AI assets like that -- there can still be artistic value in the curation of them, but there is no awe at the effort or skill involved or the perfection of the product

@AzaelOfficial First, I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment. I think there's many examples where the craftsman's purpose lends the value to the work. Second, how does an artist who does i.e. random paint splatter works, then curates the ones which speak to them, slot into this worldview?

I don't get why folks who are anti AI focus so much on the quality of its output instead of the fact that it's inherently disgusting to see entire industries wiped out by it & the creation of art slowly being relegated more and more to machines. AI will continue to get better and better until it's outputs are indistinguishable from reality, but I still will believe art not created by humans is inherently soulless. The value in the art to me has always been in the skill and story of the artist who created it, and were able to evoke whatever emotion in us as a result. By focusing so much on the quality of the output being the issue instead of the fact that it's inherently wrong & unwanted I feel like we send the wrong message to it's creators. We let them know that they only have to eliminate the tells AI art still has for us to accept AI created art as being of the same value as that created by humans.

Devs are acting like they didn’t write slop code before AI.

@arvidkahl @roeybc mcp should have been designed more 1-1 with a normal rest api layer though so that impl could just be "anotate endpoints w instructions and enable" imo such that all the frameworks could bundle it up for you. was silly to re-invent what is basically a controller layer

I didn't mean to single you out as a gatekeeper. I think that as developers, we often overestimate the inconvenience that our established approaches to integrating technology might have for people who are not as deep in the weeds as we are. That is kind of an unintentional gatekeeping, and that's what I'm referring to here.

This is the Hacker News usage of "just". And that is the enemy of all usability, adoption, and ease of use for folks beyond the most technical. We're entering a phase of hypercompetition, both in what software is written and how it is made. Let's cool it with the gatekeeping.

@arvidkahl @jamespotter Need mutuals + their mutuals + their mutuals imo

@jamespotter You’re absolutely right. 🤣 The only exception is mutuals. Might as well hide anyone else’s replies. Which really doesn’t make it easier finding new mutuals :/

It's no longer interesting to read the replies to other people's posts on this site anymore. 95% AI slop. Some of it cleverly disguised but still fundamentally slop. Sad. Hacker News comments are still mostly unclankered.

@JasonSTLxYz @AviFelman @chiefingza No forced selling Death spiral dynamics still in play but not forced

Did some cursory research on $STRC so I'm by no means an expert, but can someone explain how this doesn't become a mini $LUNA situation? It's probably not that extreme, but any time something seems too good to be true (a steady 10% dividend with "no risk"), it's a stay-away for me.

its just so fkn gross

@cobie @0xShual Cobie and the boys

@0xShual Not sure I’m in great company here

my final-four candidates are:

@SirGnarlGnomie NO NOT AGAIN NO PLEASE NO

Mikan is pumping in the charts, we are so back

@r00k bodies need work, once we stopped needing to work we replaced it with lifting weights up and down. brains are the same, and we'll replace it with... ?

@r00k stop asking the hard questions here ben

Is it in some way good for you to do chores like laundry or dishes even if you could trivially afford to outsource those tasks?

@hosseeb @ErikVoorhees @_choppingblock ask him whether or not you're the founder

We're bringing on @ErikVoorhees on @_choppingblock this week. What should we ask him?
