@mikaelgrev Svårt när alla miljardärer i hela världen har blivit rika på arbetares bekostnad. Det existerar inte en miljardär i världshistorien som blivit rik på sitt egna arbete.

Vi borde ha fler miljardärer. Helst skulle alla svenskar vara miljardärer.

@FredrikAlmer @DinSvans Undrar hur skolvalet utfaller i år. - Sänkta barnbidrag med en dryg hundring - Ingen fri tandvård - Skyhög arbetslöshet Det är ingen rolig tid att komma ut i arbetslivet som ung vuxen.

@DinSvans Tack för aktuell info. Fundera dock på ditt sätt att bemöta andra, i all välmening.

Mycket fokus på SVT’s senaste opinionsmätning. Mer intressant är gymnasievalet. I år är mellan 540 000–550 000 st förstagångsväljare. 7 % av väljarkåren. Dessa har inte msm som sin primära nyhetskanal vilket syns.

@adamdanieli @beckmansasikter Tidös första kriminalpolitik infördes i december 2023. Skjutningarna började minska i början på 2022. Sossarna stoppade skjutningarna.

Tänk att lite hårdare straff, lite fler poliser och lite fler befogenheter kunde förhindra brott. Ingen är förvånad, med undantag för Sveriges samlade kriminologkår.

@mattpocockuk Does that include skills with reference docs? I find coding style / linting skills hard to keep short, but they are easy to divide into multiple short reference docs.

Long skills are such a red flag to me - Hard to audit (and therefore, trust) - Hard to edit (more text, harder to maintain) - Expensive to run (more text, more tokens) The shorter the skill, the better IMO

@mattpocockuk @trq212 Is HTML preferable for both input and output? I know output becomes input downstream, but is it preferable for say a skill or context file in my repo?

/improve-codebase-architecture will soon output HTML This rocks, thanks @trq212

@mattpocockuk What do you think about context files versus code docs? This seems great and I'm eager to try it, but I'm assuming your code base will model pitches, videos and stand-alone videos. With code docs and an LSP, the AI could look up the missing context on demand.

/grill-me is my most popular skill ever. I get 5-10 messages a day about how it’s changed people’s workflows for the better But… I’ve stopped using it for code. Here’s the improved version:

@matej_cerny It's not a positive thing, but I'm not convinced that the decline in juniors is a Scala thing. The same trend can be seen in the Stack Overflow developer survey. Could be the downward trend since the 2022 peak. Could be dead internet theory due to agentic coding.

This is scary! 🫣 Only 6% of respondents to the Scala 2026 survey have less than two years of experience with the language! I know it's a difficult time for junior developers right now, but this stat is seriously giving me COBOL vibes 🥶

@3lfares Denying the genocide convention is no different than denying the Holocaust. That convention was world's combined effort to prevent the next Holocaust.

Say whatever you want about the official definition of genocide (which is endorsed by Holocaust survivors and by virtually all genocide scholars), but it is factually correct to say that it doesn't require killings but is rather focused on intent (whereas killings and other ways to inflict harm and destruction of an ethnic or national group are most common) un.org/en/genocide-pr…

The hilarious thing here is that most pro-Israel campists haven’t read the definition of genocide while denying it.

@matej_cerny Selecting rows seems like a wonderful use-case for named tuples. The options of creating a case class and unnamed tuples are both annoying.

I've played a bit with Wick, the new type-safe Spark API from Netflix. I've only tried the basics, but if you're a beginner interested in how it works, check out my latest article 👇 #scala #spark matejcerny.cz/en/apache-spar…

🚨 I’m done with zio-http After 3.11, no more new features from me on the 3.x line. Instead I’m going full speed on zio-http 4 completely rebuilt on ZIO Blocks Code is already moving into blocks Cleaner. Faster. Simpler The future is coming 🔥 Who’s hyped?

@987Nabil I'm excited for zio-http 4 😍 But don't give me a heart attack like that 😅

@ekonomigurun_ De är ju tydliga med vilken sida de står på. Arbetare har inget att vinna på att rösta Tidö.

Detta va klockrent 👌

@matej_cerny Do you have any setup in public?

I genuinely disagree with most of the article. Yes, in the default setup, LLMs write poor Scala. But it takes less than an hour to configure them properly - installing Metals MCP, Cellar and a few skills. After that, the generated code is actually really good!

@TFisPython @GiuocoPianoSimp @shadcn @github GitHub's IDE would be VS Code. Cursor is a fork of VS Code.

@GiuocoPianoSimp @shadcn @github GitHub has dropped the ball on building ai features such as an ide in which cursor has done great, sdk launched today… u good?

Rooting for @github. They’ve given me years of free infra. happy to give them some time to figure this out. You got this.

@kubukoz @baldram @softwaremill FlatMap is even a good indicator of code smell. It adds a small friction in the right places. With direct-style it's arbitrary like too many LoC in a method. With flatMap you know it's time to refactor when you start to perform gymnastics to nest the third for-comp.

@baldram @softwaremill no thanks I'm gonna stay with my flatmap chains

Just tried Ox for Scala by @softwaremill. Direct-style code as readable as Python, but unlike Python, your method signature is the contract: type-safe, explicit, no surprises. No more deciphering flatMap chains. Turns out FP doesn't have to be complicated: Scala just needed direct-style. When the contract lives in the signature — not in a comment like in Python — AI coding agents get it right — not eventually, but by design.

I'm proud of this.

@JamesWard Comparing java-reactor with scala-zio makes me glad I switched paths early in my career

Generally developers think of Go as being great for concurrency. Its not. JVM approaches are vastly superior. And even some of the best in the whole industry when you include virtual threads, structured concurrency & Effects.

@AronFlam @LoanSundman Menar du dina 500 inlägg där du nämner 7:e oktober? Observera hur lång tid det tar att scrolla igenom alla inlägg.

@LoanSundman Jag tar ”saker som aldrig hänt” för 500 tack!

Mötte en sionist igår. Hen kom dragandes med 7de oktober så jag svarade lugnt 1948. Det gillade hen inte.

@IgnavumPecus @strandhall @MartinaLundqui1 Varför inte? Det är du som försvarar en politisk position. Förklara varför vi måste stoppa alla moskébyggen. Hon kommer garanterat ducka diskussionen för att inte låta mer rasistisk. Om du tror att det går att försvara positionen sakligt utan rasism är det fritt fram att försöka

@strandhall @MartinaLundqui1 Varför är det viktigt att det byggs moskéer i Sverige?
