@philprimes do it

Is $2 MRR enough to be allowed to put in my profile bio? 👀

rage coding is my new favorite expression

A student in Zurich sleeps in a camper van outside a hangar every night. Just to have more hours to build a humanoid robot. He’s obsessive. He's not alone. 2,500 students across Europe are getting into robotics right now. And now they united and just launched: ESRA, the European Student Robotics Association. 🇪🇺🦾 They are bringing together highly talented young people, give them space, give them resources and let them build. By now already 13 robotics clubs. 8 countries. 2,500+ students. I visited several of them over the last weeks to get to know them and let them tell their stories. We've also been helping behind the scenes where we can, because this is exactly what Europe needs. Several multiple billion dollar companies will come out of the ESRA network. Right here in Europe. If the Bay Area had a student robotics network like this, they would never shut up about it. Time we do the same. 😤🔥🇪🇺 It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent. Turns out they're already building. 🇪🇺

@LucaForstner It‘s not an em-dash — it‘s a verdict!

dude the number of em dashes in tweets that require room temp IQ to type out is astounding

fairly banal but i felt compelled to write it down: having fun is important and will make you better at what you do hellmayr.com/blog/2026-03-2…

Kinda crazy how @sentry so quickly became the de facto standard for gaming studios @CrimsonDesert_ steamdb.info/depot/3321461/

super excited - we‘re starting a new meetup series in vienna focused on having fun with technology, and creating a space for people no matter the experience level & industry first one is happening on wednesday, really looking forward to this more info: rebased.wtf

it’s actually quite interesting that despite all the knowledge on distributed consensus, the tech industry is still quite hierarchical

just discovered that if you ask claude to compile the best recipes and come up with the best as a combination, it will give you an interactive cooking view in the chat (!) - was a bit pissed that it was all ounces until i figured out there was a button to switch to metric. wild

building a browser dogfighting game where you prompt your plane config, and an LLM then generates a config for your plan using structured generation. the plane then autonomously fights against an AI using config, kinda feels like robot wars

vibing too close to the sun

@stolinski @aboodman Yeah that makes sense for the solo developer I think. My thoughts are going more towards: why do we still think agents as tied to the individual as opposed to e.g. a team. and that kinda requires the management layer to run in the cloud

@aboodman @shellmayr I like all my stuff running on my local network tbh I like that my Mac mini is in the office and I can just use it directly if I need to instead of sshing in.

i don't quite understand why we are still running local claudes/codexes? the majority of the work is not happening on my computer anyways, why haven't there been new flows of making software that are primarily in the browser / online?

@stolinski @growradio Yeah just to be clear, talking about where the apps run, not local models - that‘s a whole different ballgame

@growradio @shellmayr I don’t think that’s what this person is talking about. When they’re talking about codex, they’re referring to the app.

wanted to sketch something visually in figma, saw a text box and decided to try, it ~starts vibing~ and programs a whole interactive app with the idea i wanted to sketch out. wtf

@iambriccardo @mitsuhiko life hack is to avoid the sun in summer, that way you don‘t notice it in winter

@mitsuhiko Yeah but the biggest problem is the total absence of sun.

I am so damn tired of this grey winter. It’s taking a toll on me…

we made a machine that can think and it's waiting for colima to finish installing

@iambriccardo this .. friend .. is his name riccardo?

TIL, a friend of mine has playlists specifically for which AI model he uses to vibe code.

@iambriccardo „grüß gott“

This is my working location today. I don’t know what to say.

everyone vibe coding their own enterprise apps actually carries some economic risk; short term it may reduce interoperability until everyone realizes how unifyingly efficient it is for everyone in a sector to know the same tool for a job. long term, even numbers != excel
