Link to my slides for today's talk on "Visualizing graphs with Rust using physics" at @deepsource is available here: docs.google.com/presentation/d… It was fun building this!

@gvanrossum @kushaldas @simonw @rahulj51 Just like how software has become on demand and generated and disposable, on demand course curriculum can be generated so beginner students can learn them on use case basis / on demand.

@gvanrossum @kushaldas @simonw @rahulj51 LLM directed and expedited computer science curriculums.

The thing about this is that no one has a clue what human SWEs would be doing instead. The idea that we would all be reviewing code is flawed. Because agents can review code much better. I think our only advantage right now as human SWEs is that we have an almost infinite context window over very long horizons.

@stevekrouse @rough__sea But with punch cards to assembly/ programming language abstraction, we still had deterministic guarantees (sans compiler instruction reordering), but with llms as an abstraction it has become probabilistic.

@rough__sea This is true in the same way that the era of punchcards came to an end. The way we write code is definitely changing! The real question is what will be the role of the human brain in programming? I gave a talk about it 6 months ago that I think holds up: youtube.com/watch?v=1WC8dx…

This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.

@shobhitic That's too many red flags 😅

@SubinSiby Love it, how do I make it for other states?

I made a GTA Vice City styled map of Kochi! Technically it's OpenStreetMap with GTA VC style, so you can see all of Earth like this: lab.subinsb.com/gta-vice-city-… But Kochi feels right because of the lake, ocean, navy, beaches, islands similar to GTA VC: lab.subinsb.com/gta-vice-city-…

Thank you @meetovercoffee_ for this one, it was a fun get together 🍵

@ryolu_ I'm building something that embeds the terminal inside of a functional gui. You start with the terminal interface but when you need more; with a key combination it can shape shift into much more. Soon.

the shell: mac os is just a unix shell. windows was just an msdos shell. they're alternate interfaces wrapping the same concepts underneath. terminal romantics miss this. CLIs are powerful and direct, sure, but they're not the destination – they're the starting point. they existed because computers were timeshared and we couldn't afford more pixels. the 2025 terminal UI fad is going backwards. people building TUIs think they're more pure, but they're naturally limiting. they're cargo culting the aesthetics of constraint without understanding why those constraints existed. CLIs are transitory and serve fewer people well. they were the bridge from punch cards to something better. mac os x proved this in 2001 – you could drop into terminal when needed, but aqua brought way more people to the mac and internet for the first time. the natural progression is toward interfaces that are accessible and customized for everyone. not just people who memorize flags and pipe commands. with AI, the next shell is intent – you use the best interface that fits you to iterate on what to make, what is good, with all context, and the agent handles the rest. Notion and Cursor are hinting at this. the best interface is the one you don't notice. the shell should feel invisible.

@redixhumayun I assumed there were some special optimizations being run for primitive types in nodrop case, but tried with any type T and it emits the same error. The language gives surprises every now and then 😅

@creativcoder I'm confused. What's special about non-primitive types that this wouldn't be true for them?

Reading about drop check behaviour in Rust has broken my mind a little bit.

@theproductwoman that feeling of coming home early morning, when you are half way to school and you come to know that it's a holiday was so >>>>>>

I used to love waking up early on the days I had no school. Or if given the option, wake up early but no school. I used to cycle around the streets observing the morning shopkeepers, chai-walas, phool walas, and the empty streets. used to the be the best start to mornings. No churning out kms / avg speed / time. A bottle of water, Walkman, and out the door. Coming back home drenched in sweat. Bath, breakfast and chill. Maybe read a book or learn something on the chunky computer. simpler times and joys. ❤️✨

When we are in school or college, we are a "nobody" to the world. We don't have a social status of our own and an identity beyond our grades. When we move into cities, take up jobs, and grow into our careers, we become a "somebody". We are "somebody" with a job, a CTC, a vehicle, a postal address. When a "nobody" meets a "nobody", there is a lot of room for friendship. We are collectively vulnerable in our "nobody-ness". As a result, schools and colleges become fertile grounds for friendship. This is even more heightened in boarding schools and army camps. Collective vulnerability paired with strong formative experiences leads to deep connection. In contrast, when a "somebody" meets a "somebody", it more often than not turns into a networking event, not friendship. In such groups, we start asserting our carefully built identities. There is performance and projection. And so, drinks, game nights, and general hanging-out-activities in the city do give us acquaintances but rarely friends. Then dejected, we reminisce about the comforts of our childhood friendships and wonder why nothing matches up to what it felt like once. We blame our busy schedules. But it is not time that we’re short on, it is a lack of formative experience often rooted in collective vulnerability that is unable to bind us together.
