@arnestrickmann I did typos before it was cool

Symptom of the LLM era: intentionally added typos in posts and articlöes

@nhuber I'm not saying I would have reacted the same, as an interviewer, but I'm not shocked that it was a negative signal.

@nhuber I mean, they said "here's a strongly held belief from an exec, how would you (as a data scientist) test it with data?" and you led with your opinion and seemingly didn't really try to interrogate the actual possibility of evaluating that hypothesis.

@ninja_maths What should I do for my 5 year old?

For anyone wondering how a third-grader can complete six years' worth of math in a single year AND score a 5 on the AP Calculus exam. This knowledge graph spans 3,000 math topics, from 4th grade to the university level, providing the perfect basis for mastery learning. Students can go as fast or far as they want! There are no restrictions whatsoever. The only requirement is that they must demonstrate mastery of each topic before moving on to the next. Kids are capable of incredible things when given that kind of freedom and support.

Start a project in Devplan and it instantly pulls together everything already happening around it: the commits pushed, the tickets filed, the Slack threads discussed, the docs already written.

@thekitze Took you 4 hours to put the sprinkler up?

I spent 4 hours to prepare the yard for my daughter to do water play with her friends... Went all in. She was clinging on the window just begging to come outside. Her friends arrive. She splashes a few times and says I don't want to play here I want to play in the dry. Having kids is amazing.

Our full-time nanny is taking a month off for the summer, and my oldest son's summer camp is off for a week, and my wife recently chose to take a job for the first time in a while... This means starting tomorrow I'll be spending multiple hours a day with my two sons (1 and 4), every day this week. I'm choosing to do this. I want to reset my attitude toward family and work. To achieve my goal, I need serious advice from fathers. Specifically, my goal is to use AI agents from my phone as much as possible during these hours, and insulate myself as much as possible from their noise (crying, whining, unreasonably excessive entreaties to play, etc.) while staying responsible, present, and loving in between. So please, what are your most advanced tactics, workflows, apps, hardware—anything—that help you get quality work done while you're watching and moving through the world with kids?

@jxnlco What u use it for?

I’m top 5 Computer Use users at OpenAI Ask me anything.

@petergyang That's why we ground everything in sourced and cited evidence @DevplanAI

One thing that still annoys me about even the best AI models and agents: They’ll give an overconfident opinion. Then if you push back even a little, they’ll usually reverse it right away. It makes me feel like they weren’t thinking that hard in the first place. A good human teammate might change their mind too, but they’ll at least explain why or have a more principled approach to their thinking. Maybe there’s a way to fix this with a system prompt?

@nico_laqua Modern day Manhattan project

Sorry for the delayed response to this, I just woke up: The team that made dataroom has stated that they did not use any of papermark’s code and that dataroom was made from scratch with inspiration from existing document sharing softwares, and that this post’s allegations of us stealing code are false. We will do an audit of our code to see if anyone else’s code was used at all, we don’t stand for using open source code without attribution, open source is great and we’re supporters at Corgi. I also directly messaged Marc and even though he’s competitive we’re not exactly launching this mostly free product to make a lot of money, but based upon our team’s representations and the information we have on hand his allegations here are false; we will investigate further though and publish the results of our investigation on our website for everyone to see.

What changed. Why it matters. What needs attention. A look at Devplan's Daily Digest.

This is what we’ve been building toward. Weaver by Devplan is live. Talk to a human: devplan.com

Today, we launch @devplanai. We're also announcing $2.5M in seed funding led by @ai2incubator and @AcequiaCapital with participation from @MightyCapital, @grandvcp, @eLabVentures My co-founders and I started the company because we believe software development has fundamentally changed. AI has made writing code dramatically faster. Small teams can now build what once required entire organizations. But while software development accelerated, the systems used to coordinate product development barely changed. Teams still spend hours every week trying to answer simple questions. • What changed? • Why was this prioritized? • Which projects are at risk? • How does this feature work? The answers exist. They're just scattered across Slack, Jira, GitHub, docs, meetings, and a hundred other places. As AI accelerates execution, this problem gets worse. More code. More fast decisions. More context. More information spread across more systems. The bottleneck is no longer building software. It's maintaining shared understanding. That's why we built Devplan. Devplan connects the tools product teams already use into a shared product intelligence layer. Our knowledge graph, Weaver, continuously understands what changed, why it matters, and what needs attention across the organization. Product and Engineering leaders get real-time visibility into progress, risk, decisions, and opportunities. Teams spend less time searching for information, assembling status updates, and reconstructing context. AI agents gain access to the same organizational understanding as the humans they work alongside. What we're seeing so far: • Product and engineering managers reclaiming 8-10 hours per week • Context queries running 2x faster and 3.5x cheaper than standard AI workflows connected directly to source systems • Great feedback in production with dozens of fast-growing teams We believe every software organization will eventually have a system responsible for maintaining shared understanding. We are building it. Learn more: geekwire.com/2026/devplan-r…

Today, we’re launching Devplan and announcing our $2.5M seed round led by @ai2incubator and @AcequiaCapital with participation from @MightyCapital, @grandvcp and @eLabVentures. AI has accelerated execution. Not coordination.

@FactoryAI @xjstxn That's crazy they just friend zoned you like that

@xjstxn These are really nice words, our team appreciates that!

Starting today I am making it my personal goal to join the @FactoryAI team. They are the only team working on the problems I have been actively solving for myself and my local workflow. They understand the power of a solid harness and everything AROUND the model that in my opinion is just as much if not more important than the model itself. Please check them out if you have not already.

Folks this might be a bubble

@trikcode It's localhost all way down brotha

honest question: is anyone actually making money from these weekend AI projects or are we all just building for localhost and Twitter screenshots

@mrmagan_ Hold up didn't y'all launch 2 days ago?!

You asked we delivered. Buildy apps can now access your camera and mic. Just give your AI agent our buildy[dot]so/start.md!

I have yet to hear anyone make a cogent argument that makes any sense of this.

@Khwezi_bass These people aren't happier so really who cares?

Monaco GP and all its festivities are a brutal annual reminder of how far 95% of people will forever be from the finest things in life.
