Anthropic is committing suicide right now. Everyone is exhausting their AI credits in hours. I just got back from vacation and exhausted nearly all my credits in 3 hours. This bug has been up for over 3 days and no fix has been issued. No AI credits refunded. reddit.com/r/Anthropic/co… github.com/anthropics/cla…

Congrats to the @cursor_ai team on the launch of Composer 2! We are proud to see Kimi-k2.5 provide the foundation. Seeing our model integrated effectively through Cursor's continued pretraining & high-compute RL training is the open model ecosystem we love to support. Note: Cursor accesses Kimi-k2.5 via @FireworksAI_HQ ' hosted RL and inference platform as part of an authorized commercial partnership.

Sam Rockwell and John John Malkovich star in "Wild Horse Nine," the new movie from "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" and "The Banshees of Inisherin" director Martin McDonagh. The synopsis reads: "Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris and Lee are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ. Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students threatens to send everyone’s trust to this remote island paradise sideways.” Watch the trailer: wp.me/pc8uak-1lH2lB

There are 4 types of people saying "AI will replace Software Engineering" in 6 months 1. they own a company that benefits from replacing engineers (ceo, stockholders etc). they need to justify the amount invested into them 2. Company that made big cuts and they want to attribute it to whatever and AI is good excuse 3. People who never worked as as/with Software Engineering and have no clue the work is not just typing 4. Burned out engineers who don't want to do that job anymore

If the world starts losing its mind… I’m glad I’m in Chile 🇨🇱 Why? • Far south. Really far south. • Mountains on one side. Pacific on the other. Atacama to the north. Patagonia to the south. • Not a superpower. Not trying to be one. • Not leading any global war blocs. • Strong food and water security. • Functional infrastructure. Modern private healthcare. • Stable institutions relative to the region. No place is bulletproof. But distance matters. Geography matters. Staying out of other people’s wars matters. If things get loud… I’ll take the Andes and a glass of Carmenere. 🇨🇱

Most investors, similarly to most VCs, do not understand that producing code faster does not make software engineering less difficult.

The best Docker setup I ever saw was at a company doing $30M ARR. One Dockerfile, one docker-compose for local dev, plain ECS in production. No Kubernetes, no service mesh, no drama. Boring works. Boring scales. Boring lets you sleep at night.

In 20 years, vibe coders will look at the Linux kernel repo the way we look at the pyramids. In awe, unable to imagine how they managed to drag all those giant stones and pile them up in the middle of the desert.

I created a Github repository to learn System Design, and I'm excited to share that it crossed 30k stars recently. The repository contains a collection of resources to study: - System Design Core Concepts - Networking and API Fundamentals - Database and Caching Fundamentals - Distributed Systems, Microservies and Architectural Patterns - System Design Tradeoffs - 40+ System Design problems categorized by difficulty level Check it out here: github.com/ashishps1/awes… If you find the repo valuable, consider giving it a ⭐️ and share with others. Thanks to everyone who has starred or forked the repository!

It's really astonishing how much influence Apple has had on the broader internet. MAC addresses. iFrames. So many fundamental technologies named after them.

When I bought DDA a while ago, I started reading it and quickly realized that I knew 80% of the content from 20 years of dev experience. And then it clicked that I just read learnings from 20 years worth of painful dev experience in three hours and 200 pages.

Startups are raising millions to build ephemeral environments for agents, while one of the OG sandbox providers is exiting the race. Instead of evolving Heroku into a definitive infrastructure for the agentic ai era, Salesforce is letting a developer goldmine wither away. Never doubt big tech's ability to kill great products!

software engineering is the only career where interview is harder than the job.

As an software engineer - I can tell you that Engineers don’t miss deadlines. They just keep discovering new requirements, with help of product managers.

Underrated career advice: Don’t be yourself at work.

Really funny to see this email become LinkedIn management hustle porn when it was actually a key piece of evidence in a legal case that cost Apple, Google, Adobe, and Intel $415M.
