@tmsdnl @ThePrimeagen Keyword “early 2025”

@ThePrimeagen Reminds me of METR’s "Measuring the Impact of Early-2025 AI on Experienced Open-Source Developer Productivity" study. Experienced engineers thought AI tools made them ~20-24% faster. In reality, they ended up ~19% slower on real tasks in familiar codebases.

It's weird how much time I spend trying to get agents to write code like me Maybe I should just write code...

@tmsdnl And what about time with the wife :)) ?

@PPjev Toddler goes down around 9pm. I grind until somewhere between midnight and 2am.

This weekend I caught myself rebuilding existing software twice. At first I skipped Cobbler because it seemed too complicated for what I needed, and building a simple PXE server sounded fun and easy. Then the requirements kept showing up: profiles, templates, remote power control. Soon enough, “simple PXE server” became “rebuild Cobbler.” Same thing with a live-audio transcription app. Whisper plus pyannote (speaker diarization) sounded exciting, so I started building before I checked what existed. Two hours in, I found HushScribe, Gophy, and a few more. Building is the fun part. But 15 minutes of research can save hours of rebuilding the wrong thing.

@tmsdnl We had a deal!!! To buy new version only :)

Update: Bought a base M4 Mac Mini, 32GB, to offload the work and run autonomous agents

@lizengco None, but if I have to pick - 3. They are all have too kuch noise. 3 is cleanest here, but still hard to read.

1, 2, 3 or 4? Which roll up banner is your choice?

@apranevicius There are better tools for cheaper. Also, actually giving you what they promised. With 0 dark/grey patterns in pricing. And with great support. Without loosing a thing.

@PPjev Why? I use them many years already

This is what it means when someone says "pefect timing".

@AlessandroSalzo @Hostinger Exactly!!! Dont use them

@Hostinger Yes, but

Something big just landed for devs 💥 A new way to deploy Node.js apps is here — built for speed and serious security. ⚡️ 1-click deploy from GitHub 🛡️ Fully managed servers & security 💸 $3.99/mo flat. No usage-based fees Start deploying on Hostinger: hstn.gr/6L

@OUTrum @djipowerglobal I was thinking to buy these, exactly because of their support. Sad to read this. Plenty of other brands for cheaper that store energy. Sad… thought DJI is legit

@PPjev @djipowerglobal If the model I paid(Power 2000) for actually worked, that would be amazing. However, it seems that DJI has absolutely no control over either its warranty process or its warehouse. I chose DJI and paid a premium because I expected efficient service, not polite incompetence.

Unboxing the brand-new DJI Power 1000 Mini ⚡ Meet DJI’s most portable 1kWh power station yet — built to go wherever your adventure takes you. What would you power first with the DJI Power 1000 Mini?

@OUTrum @djipowerglobal I thought it is a new model with better specification. Sorry.

@PPjev @djipowerglobal No, thanks, the new one is half as powerful :D

@OUTrum @djipowerglobal Give him the new model instead, DJI.

@djipowerglobal DJI can ship a new power station today, but can't replace a faulty Power 2000 under warranty (out of stock) or collect the broken one (seven weeks). Curious allocation of effort.

@apranevicius Completely obvious :). One side wants to work from home in companies that are on the left side. But not vice versa

As the owner of a global recruitment agency, I have to agree.

@chalaska @jameygannon One should start some where. They will get better fast.

@jameygannon tbh most of those product designers are just landing page hero section designers

there are soooo many more product designers than brand designers

@tmsdnl Same here, especially with mac mini. At least now, I think, we should wait for a new version of it.

The temptation to buy new hardware before I actually need it is hard to control. I keep reminding myself - working use case first! Real limits, real inconveniences. Or when I need tighter control over what the machine can actually do and access. That's the green light. Not before. Been going back and forth on an M4 mini for automation. For now, the macbook runs 24/7 (along with Proxmox. And k3s cluster. Hm... Wait. ...anyway.)

@OUTrum @tmsdnl People get same or hihher salaries. Deliveries still same, they hustle in side. All vause of AI. Busines management should do something or otherwise it is nonsense :). We deliver things in days that used to take months now. But all my corporate friend deliver 1 landing per 2m :)

@tmsdnl To be more precise, the plan that used to cost $20 now costs $100 :D

ChatGPT Pro is $100/month now instead of $200. About time.

@OUTrum @tmsdnl Yep. Previously introduced Pro plans are useless across the providers. And we are talking about generic questions, not coding or something. We will soon pay thousands a month and say thank you. But I guess it will be worth it.

@d4m1n Include Perplexity too. Basically unusable.

bros at Anthropic & OpenAI should just rename the $20 AI plans from "Pro" to "Demo"

@OUTrum @tmsdnl Pro is 100% more than enough. Believe me :). Bought Max with 64gb for myself and Pro for coworker. Exactly same performance, battery die faster ln Max. Go Pro

@tmsdnl I'm sure I need to upgrade, but can't decide between Pro or Max M5. The thing is, I feel like in the near future I'll want a Mac Mini running 24/7 for remote work and the MBP will just be a viewer, not the workhorse it is now. So maybe Pro is enough for that role?

Last month I was helping @outrum decide if his M1 Pro needed an upgrade. I flexed that my M1 Max 32GB was cruising at 80% of capacity, easily another year. Today: OOM force quit pops up on its own. Apps go red one by one. Screen glitches. Reboot. Hot to the touch. It's time.

@adriankuleszo @apranevicius can help you

Spending more time looking for designers than running the agency these days. Hiring on time is the biggest bottleneck for us now. Thinking about bringing in a part-time HR person to handle this. Would love to hear from any agency founders who've done this. Was it worth it?

@dhh What is this keyboard please. Looks crazy

A desktop rug really pulls the room together!
