Fakie heelflip. Beautiful night.

@MorePerfectUS my father in law just had open heart surgery and it was about as much as I paid for my daughter’s root canal. Crazy times.

NEW: One of our journalists had open heart surgery. He also had to go to the dentist recently — and his dental procedure cost more. Why? Private equity owned dental chains are raising prices. And insurance giants are refusing to cover rising costs, making you pay more and more.

@elvissun @FastCompany @garrytan It’s a lack of consideration to the user that bothers me. Ship faster but with worse performance isn’t a win for the consumer.

this thread is what mass cope from legacy devs looks like. i talked to @FastCompany about why @garrytan's "AI slop" is actually the future of software engineering. the mass code review. the line-by-line gatekeeping. the "craftsmanship" that was really just slow iteration disguised as rigor - that era is over. and the engineers who built their entire identity around it are panicking. @gregorein brags about burning 3 billion tokens last year while dunking on garry for flexing lines of code. i've burned 6.6 billion in the past three months on codex alone. by his own logic, i'm 8x as credible. see how silly that sounds? yes, he found real issues. yes, they got fixed. that's exactly the point. karpathy's autoresearch proved this already - AI agents can solve very complex problems just by operating inside feedback loops, iterating to optimize a loss function. this is what software engineering is now - gradient descent. ship, measure, self-correct, repeat. all by the agent itself. this is the new startup playbook. your job isn't to review every line before deploy. your job is to build systems where agents observe outcomes - mrr, analytics, error rates, user behavior - and self-improve. the engineer's role shifts from gatekeeper to building the machine that builds the machine. you could run this level of audit (using AI) on any production site and find the same issues - most just don't have a billionaire CEO attached for virality. mocking the people who adapted is easier than adapting. but the craft is evolving whether you like it or not.

@ericjeker @realNaeemAkram @housecor What do you mean “PRs are not for testing?”

@realNaeemAkram @housecor Wait, you don't have a QA team, you know, actually testing before your release something? PRs are not for testing.

Just learned a team at Microsoft is doing code reviews *after* merge. Why? To move faster. No more pausing work to wait for code reviews. No need for stacked PRs. No more time-consuming merge conflicts caused by long code review delays. This has risks, but may work well for a team that is: - mature - high trust - has strong automated quality checks

@PawelHuryn @bygregorr Sorry but that’s bullshit and I think we both know it

Gregor, for static pages you're right - reflow isn't the bottleneck. But AI-generated interfaces stream text token by token. Every new token triggers a layout recalculation. At 40+ tokens/second, that's 40+ reflows per second while the user scrolls and the container resizes. CSS was designed for documents that load once. Pretext was designed for content that never stops changing.

A Midjourney engineer just open-sourced a way to lay out entire web pages without CSS. Not a framework. Not a library that wraps the DOM. A pure TypeScript text measurement algorithm that bypasses browser reflow entirely. 600x faster. Why it matters: AI-generated interfaces need to lay out text dynamically. The browser wasn't built for that. CSS reflow was designed for humans writing static pages, not agents generating UIs on the fly. This exists because agents need rendering that doesn't depend on a 30-year-old pipeline. The AI-era stack is being rebuilt from scratch. One library at a time. P.S. Such a fun to play with that!

@PawelHuryn It’s so funny that just a couple years ago the topic du jour was progressive web apps but now we’re using TypeScript to do text layouts under the guise that AI responses need super fast text reflow when they really don’t

@ryanlightbourn @Eric_M_Stevens AI didn’t write this? It’s pretty bad

@Eric_M_Stevens Yeah man, this is my screenplay. I just hashed it out with visuals.

A guy in his 40s. MacBook Air. $500 in credits. This is the future of filmmaking:

@MyWenisGenius14 @Destructa_OW @north0fnorth Which cabinet member’s burner account is this?

@Destructa_OW @north0fnorth Talking mainly about the nigggers.

if you sincerely believe chicago and detroit are the worst shitholes in america you’ve been watching too much conservative news and no i’m not joking whatsoever

@Docquistador @DanielaGWalls The conversation where you’re crying about not having anything and blaming it on everyone but yourself? No thanks.

@Rmmmsy @DanielaGWalls Get your t levels up then come try to join the men’s conversation

2 generations of men were promised a cute mid, respectable job, modest home in which they could raise a family if only they worked hard & followed the rules. Instead, the ruling class has pushed only fans & AI degeneracy & 50 year mortgages as a solution. At the same time prioritizing H1B’s, DEI, boomers & foreign governments - all of whom blatantly mock us for voicing our troubles. All while gaslighting us that none of this is true. We’ve woken up to it & nothing you old fucks say will convince us otherwise. So go ahead & claim your moral high ground. It means nothing to us.

@brometheus1983 @NicholasXVIX @Docquistador The sound your two brain cells make clanking together

@NicholasXVIX @Docquistador Ching chong

@Docquistador @DanielaGWalls lol and you wonder why you don’t have shit. You deserve exactly what you have; shit.

@DanielaGWalls The men are talking. Go play office games with the other women and pretend you’re making a contribution to the GDP

That’s what I’m talking about! Go Rams!!Taking out a powerhouse tonight!

What’s great is they can be deployed to a URL for other people to use and I dont really have to worry too much about security because all the data is local to the user. Still, not using it to store anything sensitive though; still vulnerable to XSS.

Been really obsessed with making client-side only web apps using IndexedDB just for personal use

@FreyaHolmer Maybe some pieces are sticky and some pieces are slidey; maybe same color makes em stick, opposite colors make em slide.

@FreyaHolmer Ooh or maybe it’s like a combo lock game where each level you have a numeric code target and you have to rotate the mass left or right to move numbers up and down to unlock it, like a bike lock or something similar.

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

@thisisgrantlee Do you employ any designers?

There's a hidden tax on every knowledge worker in the world, and nobody talks about it: The design tax. You're a strategist, a sales lead, a marketer. You were hired for what you know. But every meeting, every pitch, every proposal expects you to show up with something that looks like a designer made it. I lived this. Before Gamma, I spent time in consulting and investment banking. I spent more hours formatting slides than the analysis that went into them. When my cofounders and I started Gamma, we asked: what if you never had to be a designer in the first place? Five years and nearly 100 million users later, we've refunded billions of hours of the design tax. Today, we're eliminating it for good with our biggest launch ever. Gamma Imagine — a powerful, AI-native visual creation tool directly in Gamma. Posters, logos, infographics, visuals from a single prompt. On brand, every time. AI-Native Templates. Templates were supposed to save you from design work. Instead you spent the time filling them in. So we completely rebuilt the template experience. Modify a whole deck with a single prompt, with your brand and style intact every time. Gamma Connectors. You're already thinking in ChatGPT and Claude. Now Gamma sits inside the most popular work apps in the world. No more context-switching. You were hired for your ideas, not to resize text boxes. Let Gamma pay the design tax.

@arvofart @GianmarcoSoresi I dunno I think we can all blame Shakespeare for the fall of the British Empire

Probably zero percent

@nesoi73 @TheWapplehouse If you’ve only ever listened music in 4/4 then anything else is going to sound weird.

@TheWapplehouse Dude is playing tight. Are people this uneducated about music now?

Here’s the original video posted by the band Brekky Boy

@pissnixon @TheWapplehouse Anybody who’s ever picked up an instrument and tried to play anything with rhythm knows how hard it is

@TheWapplehouse I don't think you need to be some kind of jazz connoisseur or music theorist to realize this type of drumming is incredibly difficult Do, like, they just not understand what drums sound like when being played by a human?
