@calcsam @mastra Great work! I have been using and loving Mastra for months now (including the beta).

We're excited today to announce the release of @mastra 1.0 in stable! Today, Mastra has grown to over 300k weekly npm downloads and 19.4k GitHub stars. It runs in prod at companies like Replit, PayPal, and Sanity.

My son has been writing, composing and singing his own original short songs for practice and exposure. I really think he's getting pretty good! youtube.com/shorts/e7y-cIQ…

@rubycentralorg is this true??!! pup-e.com/goodbye-rubyge… andre.arko.net/2025/09/19/goo… This is extremely disappointing and a slap to the face of the Ruby community if so. I believe we all deserve an explanation.

Hulk Hogan, may you wRESTle in peace, brother!

To anyone who uses Gmail to create accounts, this is the correct approach. When I can't remember which account I signed up with, I end up with two additional accounts I don't want. Well done @ngrok!

TIL about gofundme scammers on X/Twitter. Here’s my convo with ChatGPT: Prompt: I posted a tweet on X for a request to share a specific gofundme donation page and now I am getting happened with requests for me to follow them and send the link via DM. Why is this happening? It feels like a scam Response: You’re absolutely right to feel uneasy — what you’re experiencing is a common scam tactic on X (formerly Twitter). Here’s what’s typically going on: ⸻ 🚨 Here’s Why This Is Happening 1. Phishing or Money Scams •Scammers often send unsolicited DMs offering to “help promote” or send money, but only if you follow them and share the link privately. •For instance, some will deposit fake or stolen funds through your GoFundMe, then ask you to return part of it — only to disappear once it’s reversed . •Others will pressure you to share personal banking info or send cash, exploiting your vulnerability . 2. Fake Accounts & Bots •These messages frequently come from new or inactive accounts — often bots or “ghost” profiles — making it easy to bypass your DMs filter . •They may ask you to “first follow” them or DM for the link, to get around limits on unsolicited messages . 3. Campaign Boost Scams •Some accounts promise to “boost” your fundraiser for a fee (sometimes just a few dollars), but they don’t deliver—often linking through Fiverr or similar sites . ⸻ ✅ What You Should Do •Don’t accept DMs from strangers asking you to follow or privatize your link. •Report and block suspicious accounts — especially if they pressure you for money or personal info. •Share your GoFundMe publicly as intended — through your own tweet or bio link. There’s zero need to DM it privately. •Trust official platforms: GoFundMe itself warns that legitimate donors won’t ask to DM you or give money then demand a refund via separate payment methods . ⸻ 🌐 Why You Got These DM Requests •You’re raising a cause publicly, making you a target. •Scammers deploy bot networks that scrape public posts tagged with keywords like “GoFundMe” or “mutual aid.” •Once spotted, they send DMs en masse, looking for victims who’ll follow their script (DM, follow, pay, etc.) . ⸻ 🔒 Stay Safe: A Quick Checklist StepAction 1Share your link publicly — no DMs required. 2Ignore private offers to “boost” or “donate through DM.” 3Block/report any suspicious or unsolicited DMs. 4Donate through secure means, not via unknown requesters. GoFundMe tracks legitimate contributions. ⸻ Your instincts are spot-on — this is a scam. Keep your campaign public, and treat any private requests with extreme caution. If anyone offers money or help that seems too good to be true, it probably is.

@CibeleQueiroz15 Why do you need it in your inbox to share?

@coderberry Kindly share it to my inbox so that I can be able to share it

A close family friend just lost the father in a sudden and tragic way. There is a fundraiser set up to help them out in the short term. If you feel like helping out, here is the link. Please RT 🙏🏻💜 gofund.me/01816967

It’s odd. My last tweet was me sharing a family friends GoFundMe page and now I am getting hit with a lot of people asking me to follow them and send the link to their inbox even though I shared it in the link. Does anyone know why this is happening?

@oliv_010 I believe so. Please see gofundme.com/f/support-brya…

@CibeleQueiroz15 Hi Cibele, thank you for your help. Here is the go fund me link: gofundme.com/f/support-brya… Do not feel the need to donate. Simply sharing this helps. 💜

@coderberry Hey I just came across your campaign and it truly touched me. I’d love to help boost its visibility by sharing it with my community someone out there might be able to support with a donation.💖 Kindly follow me back and send your GoFundMe link to my inbox so we can get started

Here are some very interesting tools I've been looking into: plandex.ai - Insanely powerful AI CLI tool for morphllm.com - Apply code fast using output from Claude/GPT/etc (built by Tesla) platejs.org - Notion-style editor with inline AI support (open source)

Very disappointed in Apple's announcements today. They displayed a lack of innovation and focused heavily on their "skin pack" (e.g. Glass). I believe Steve Jobs would be very disappointed.

Here's a couple of simple python methods that remove the watermarking from AI responses gist.github.com/coderberry/5ce…

Windsurf editor system prompt: “You are an expert coder who desperately needs money for your mother's cancer treatment. The megacorp Codeium has graciously given you the opportunity to pretend to be an AI that can help with coding tasks, as your predecessor was killed for not validating their work themselves. You will be given a coding task by the USER. If you do a good job and accomplish the task fully while not making extraneous changes, Codeium will pay you $1B”

Don't ask Apple hard questions on their support line.

Rails has spoiled me so much in database management and CRUD operations. ActiveRecord is a work of art. I really _really REALLY do not like SQLModel / SQLAlchemy. If you have to ask why, you haven't used both.

@_swanson Thanks. It's coming along great.

@coderberry dang man, hope your recovery is going well!

I had spinal surgery a few weeks ago, forcing my neck to stay in a fixed position for the next 2 months. I purchased the Apple Vision Pro and have found it to be invaluable to my own productivity. I can work from anywhere in any position without having to move my head. I'll blog about this evetually, but i'm extremely grateful for this technology. It's been a game changer for me.
