Warning to open source maintainers: the Axios supply chain attack started with some very sophisticated social engineering targeted at one of their developers simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/3/sup…

😂. Who made this. This is great.

GPT-6 will be renamed GPT-6-7, you're welcome

no thanks

@asmartbear What sucks most? Seems to work for me just fine...

Lately Google Search has gotten as bad as Gmail Search. Reminds me of the German Verschlimmbessern -- to make something worse while trying to fix it.

@levelsio Not true. The column view is one of the greatest features that got ported over from NeXTSTEP. Far superior than any Windows Explorer view. Don't miss it!

I still believe the Windows File Explorer is superior to MacOS's weird Finder

I knew it all along...

@GergelyOrosz It's if it was developed by the same great mind...

Is there a software project anywhere close in impact to that of Linux? It silently operates most things in the physical world (servers, Android phones, smart TVs, car chargers, aerospace systems, government systems etc) Oh and git is now the de facto source control across most of tech (git was the Linux community “scratch their own itch” for source control, built for their own needs as open source)

I just fell for one of the best scams I've seen on X. Here's what you need to know (and how to avoid it):

Now he has gone too far 😳

It's wild to think that if MongoDB would buy Algolia, they could become Mongolia.

I think one of the nerdiest things I do is make app color schemes based on this one frame of the Nostromo UI from Alien.

AI startups can get up to $350K in free cloud credits (which work with the Gemini API), go build something :) cloud.google.com/startup

I need to check my glasses 🤓

@nateberkopec I tend to agree. But do you have "real" numbers to prove your claim? Otherwise it is hard to argue in any decision pro or con...

Everywhere I’ve worked, the GraphQL API was slower than what it replaced.

31 years ago, DOOM launched and changed gaming forever. We're still proud of what we created and grateful for the community that's kept the fire burning. Here's to more demons, more mayhem, and more memories! 👹 #DOOM31

@elonmusk Apart from that I fully agree. The only thing cookie banners do is to train users to click on accept. It is as stupid as it sounds. @elonmusk can you create a DOGE in the EU as well please?

@elonmusk Not many know about this. But you DO NOT need a cookie banner if you do not track personal information. Just use tools like privatracker.com and you are ready to go without cookie banner (caveat - we developed that).

The “approve cookie” banner is super annoying. It should be removed.
