@APJAK7 @dhh Just stop.

@dhh Copilot didn’t just get better autocomplete — it’s quietly turning into a workflow-level assistant.

Did GitHub's Copilot get a huge upgrade in the last few weeks? It now consistently finds real issues, and is genuinely helpful. Hit ratio went from 1/10 to 7/10. Impressive! (Just wish it would not re-raise concerns that have been given a 👎 once already).

@valigo PHP is feeling vindicated right now

When you have a lot of operations over "thing", name your functions as "thing_do" instead of "do_thing". So "array_add", "array_remove_by_index", "array_clear" etc. Super noob advice, I know, but I've only arrived to it in recent years. Obvious why it's better.

How much do I have to pay to never have to see anything about Dario Amodei ever again?

@kenwheeler @AccidentalBron shit

just went snorkeling with 3 zyn pouches in and saw shit you wouldn’t believe

@ondakx @yacineMTB I'd pay to watch @yacineMTB use n8n. He'd have a mental breakdown

@yacineMTB Got an example of what you have automated and how? Using automations in codex or having n8n workflows?

It's remarkable how much of my work is completely automated w/ AI, and yet, I still am necessary. The amount of time I personally have to spend working just isn't going down. Instead, the leverage of my own time is going up. Every second I spend not working becomes more painful

Enjoying faster.dev by @aarondfrancis. Don't let the name make you think it's about one-shotting or that it purely focus on speed as a success metric. It's very quality focused with an emphasis of keeping your hands on the wheel

@kenwheeler He looks like he's allergic to his own face

@DanielLockyer I took you for a self-hosted runner guy

Bro not now 😭😭

Parallel testing in Laravel with multiple database connections is way more fiddly than it should be. The closest solution is a now deleted blog post by @sarahjting. Is this really that rare a scenario?

@FGRFC_Official Do you know when home tickets for the match against Carlisle will be available to buy, please?

React2shell would have sounded like a parody CVE 5 years ago

@mike_c_dev Absolutely mental 😂 Don't even get that in the Championship

the fuckin blues man, wouldn't change them for the world 🤣

@Chris_arnade The Wheatsheaf in Stoke-on-Trent is my closest Spoons. Small world

McDonald’s should have an in house mag, and they should hire me to do the profiles

Set for evening.

@Chris_arnade @SirinsArturs Splurge on the Abbot Ale at Spoons. It's by the same brewery as Ruddles Best

Today, I made the mistake of flying to London's Heathrow Airport. This was a remarkably stupid move on my part, given that London, and by extension Heathrow, is located in the failing formerly-developed alcoholic country known as "the UK" Within thirty minutes of landing, I was through customs, on the Piccadilly line and four stops later, in a Weatherspoons, drinking a $2 pint of real ale, eating a $5 traditional breakfast, surrounded by groups doing the same thing. I wasn't intending to have a drink, since I've not had one in six weeks, but the peer pressure got to me. Tomorrow I will be paying dearly for this oversight.

@ThePrimeagen Zed's streams are awesome. Love his gamedev ones, too

very much so would be a great start to stream to watch and learn

@aarondfrancis Not industrial per se but need it in my life.

Men only want one thing and that thing is an old industrial building to turn into a studio

@PerttiSoomann @JackEllis This hurts deep inside.

@JackEllis I always found the "yeah, we could make this UX/system/whatever nicer, but client is not paying for it, so we are not doing it" so demotivating

I'm not a business person. I'm a problem solver who just happens to be running a business. I always wanted to have my own company so I could wake up and work on whatever I wanted. Business is fun, but the journey to making my database faster and 5x smaller is way more fun.

@thdxr It's a blessing and a curse

if your name is greg do you feel pressure to be gregarious

@kenwheeler I swear this place was on an episode of Fuck That's Delicious

this restaurant is american as fuck

Advising junior devs not to over engineer things is depriving them of a pivotal learning experience. It's a rite of passage to massively over engineer a project and then subsequently learn why it was a mistake when you go to maintain it
