We’re excited to announce that we’re making our SEGA logo 3% more blue. We hope you enjoy this upgrade. Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the new look.

@Tanjim38 Why no backdrop-filter: blur(…)? In my opinion, seeing the background content — when the focus should be on the modal content — is distracting.

some modals

@nonzeroexitcode Shadow and overlay gradients should almost always be logarithmic rather than linear.

switching a linear-gradient backdrop to an eased one is such a fast & small tweak, but it makes the whole thing feel so much nicer!

@asidorenko_ Why is AI suddenly the scapegoat for slop? I’ve worked with humans that produce slop. The key has always been to review the output, whether it was generated by animated carbon, or a rock that was tricked into thinking.

What happens to your codebase when you stop reviewing your agents' output

@ritu_twts Pretty much any of them.

name an IDE better than VS Code, I'll wait ☺

@peter_cox36232 I used to use Chrome for browsing and Shift for apps+email, but shift is something like £150/year…crazy for a browser. Arc gave me a free middle ground. I tried building a Chrome/Shift-like experience with Electron, but there were far too many hurdles, worst of all was auth.

@MrMatthewLayton I think these days I'm happy enough with vanilla chrome and would just build my own native desktop tool to address the problems Arc used to solve for me

I like ARC Browser, but I also don’t like it. Browsers have always been tabs at the top, navigation controls in the middle, bookmarks at the bottom. ARC had to go and break the mould. To be honest I only use it because it’s functionally similar to Shift Browser, but free.

@peter_cox36232 It’s great if you need to build a white label app, but doesn’t seem to offer much in terms of authenticity.

@MrMatthewLayton I generally find it won't use ShadCN unless you specifically prompt it to

Is it just me, or is shadcn the new Bootstrap? Every time I see something built with it — "oh that's shadcn"

@MuwaffaqBadawi I agree, and C# is my favourite language too. But we live in an age where “the right tool for the job” (as opposed to “the tools I know”) is always within grasp with very little learning curve.

@MrMatthewLayton Still, C# is considered one of the most stable languages out there

I love C# and I will not replace it ever

🚨 Announcing ONIXPlayer 🎶📹 We (including @claudeai) built a cross-platform media player for Windows, Linux and macOS. Check it out and let us know what you think! github.com/onix-labs/onix…

@samtwtss Left on desktop. Centre on mobile.

here's the million dollar question: left alligned or centre? choose one👇

@edandersen Build with AI Review with AI Debug with AI Refactor with AI Test with AI If “it works” is the bar that most aim for (and I’m on the fence about that) then why are humans intervening at all?

Reading code, especially code you didn’t write, is 10x harder than writing code These people AI generating 90%+ of their code *are* reading it all, right… or are they just dumping the difficult verification work on their colleagues in PRs?

@bossadizenith @milad_akarie Why? The behaviour is virtually identical, and modals are more familiar.

If you're still using Jenkins, why? Why haven't you migrated to GitHub Actions? So much easier when you see everything in one place!

@DevLeaderCa Well I’ve been maintaining OSS for about 8 years. Nevertheless, when it came to interview, almost every panel basically said “Great, but you don’t have AWS experience, so you can Foxtrot Oscar!” Counter-question: how important is OSS in an AI evolving world?

How important is open source contribution in your career? Do you actively contribute to open source projects?

@RandallKanna I agree in principle, but if AI wrote it, shouldn’t it be future AI that understands it? I’d hedge my bets that future models will be so good, they’ll be able to explain the code to you, and rewrite it into something even more coherent.

It kills me that the hardest part of programming isn't algorithms. It's reading code someone else wrote 3 years ago and figuring out what they were thinking. And soon you're gonna have to figure out what the AI was thinking 🤡

@vineerpasam I already have.

Would you join a startup where the entire product is vibe coded?
