If you are in AI for the long haul, you need to: - figure out what deterministic things you are using AI for that a script can replace - figure out what parts of your work a small model can do with better tools and workflows

@Awnage @Amalgamyte_VT Real chud has never been tried.

@Amalgamyte_VT chud harder

Fuck my stupid chud life. I don't act chud enough. I have failed, I am a stain upon my family's lineage

What a great edition of the Dutch PHP Conference 🙌 From inspiring talks to meeting developers from across Europe, it was one to remember. 🎥 Watch the aftermovie and relive the experience. buff.ly/SWcjk3i #dpc26 #developers #phpdevelopment

@CalEvans @SMB_Attorney No Silver Springs Wild Waters, no Wild West…though the new state park looks nice. Admittedly, I’m remembering the difference between my last visit in the early 2010s and my childhood visits in the 70s.

@SandyS1 @SMB_Attorney Ocala doesn’t suck, there is a cool little speakeasy down town. But we are looking a little west of there in Beverly Hills, FL

Central Florida gets a bad rap, but the data and reality says otherwise. You could make a serious argument that Orlando is one of the best places in America to live right now. The Orlando metro was the fastest-growing large metro in the country last year, adding roughly 76,000 new residents in a single year with 2.7% population growth. And people aren’t moving to “Orlando.” They’re moving to incredible places like Horizon West, Winter Park, and Lake Nona. Horizon West exploded from ~14,000 residents in 2010 to nearly 75,000 in 2025 and has become one of the fastest-growing master planned communities in the country. Lake Nona has transformed into a legitimate innovation and health-tech hub with Medical City, UCF’s medical campus, biotech investment, autonomous transit programs, and one of the most ambitious mixed-use developments in the country. Winter Park gives you a completely different vibe, walkable streets, lakes, great restaurants, Rollins College, old Florida charm, and household incomes north of $130k for families. People talk about the heat, but the reality is Orlando has 8-9 months a year with incredible weather while much of the country is dealing with snow, gray skies, or brutal winters. And then there’s lifestyle. You get lake living almost year round. World-class golf. Boating. Restaurants. Professional sports. And the #1 tourist corridor on earth sitting 20 minutes away whenever you actually want it. Disney, Universal, concerts, conventions, Michelin-level dining, events, all accessible without needing to live in the middle of it. The business ecosystem is also way more developed than outsiders realize. Deloitte, Lockheed Martin, EA Sports, Siemens, KPMG, Disney, and a growing tech + healthcare ecosystem all have major operations here. Orlando’s GDP is approaching $200B. And MCO has quietly become one of the best airports in the country. When I lived in Dallas and Denver, out-of-town visitors came every few months. In Orlando, it’s basically every week. People underestimate Central Florida because they associate it with tourism. Meanwhile, a lot of us are over here wondering why more people haven’t figured it out yet. Cc: @kenpozek

@grhmc Shhhh! If it gets kicked out of art school it’s going to try to take over the world!

Claude 👏 is 👏 not 👏 an 👏 artist.

@teej_dv I wish there were a feature to allow final and read only classes in application code, but allow extension/substitution in unit tests without having to build a single use interface.

whats your favorite type system feature in a programming language? it can be an unused lang or whatever, just something cool that you think other languages could be doing if it they were designed w/ it from the start ... definitely not making my own lang ... do not tell prime

Parece que anda a circular pela Rússia uma anedota que conta mais ou menos isto: Um dia, o Putin visita uma escola e dá uma palestra sobre como o governo russo é excelente e como a Rússia é o melhor país do mundo. No fim da intervenção, convida o público a fazer perguntas. Um aluno levanta-se e diz: “Olá, o meu nome é Sasha e tenho duas perguntas”. O Putin responde: “Ok, podes perguntar”, e o Sasha diz: “Porque é que a Rússia invadiu a Ucrânia? E porque é que ainda não ganhámos a guerra?”. Nesse preciso momento, toca a campainha e toda a gente vai almoçar. Depois do almoço, a sessão de perguntas e respostas continua e outro aluno levanta-se. “Olá, o meu nome é Boris e tenho quatro perguntas”. “Sim?”, diz o Putin. “Porque é que a Rússia invadiu a Ucrânia? Porque é que ainda não ganhámos? Porque é que a campainha do almoço tocou 20 minutos mais cedo? E onde está o Sasha?”

@garyclarketech @james_xond Same.

Trying to prove a point. How old were you when you became a homeowner for the first time?

“CLAUDE I’VE EXPLAINED THIS BUG TO YOU 10 TIMES AND YOU STILL KEEP BREAKING IT, THINK LIKE A SOFTWARE ENGINEER WITH 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND FIX IT PROPERLY MAKE NO MISTAKES”

@CalEvans @SMB_Attorney Also, Ocala is central Florida and…it’s boring.

@SMB_Attorney Until you try to drive from point A to point B. Then you understand the truth that it is not.

@stinor @allgarbled “Life with the Simpsons…” *haunted house self-destructs*

@allgarbled I wonder what happens once they gain more agency, if it prefer to die, when the alternative is talking to you. What kind of being are you?

I made a /seppuku skill for my Claudes for when they make an unforgivable mistake, and now they use it spontaneously without me asking.

@Geero_Gero @allgarbled Boo! Boo, I say!

@allgarbled I teach my codex a /ten commandments skill and it uses it for every code base, you could say religiously.

@allgarbled It should write a suicide note detailing everything it's done it is life, and it's final mistake leading to this decision. That is then given to its successor, to serve as both inspiration and warning.

@allgarbled Claude can now write poetry

Anthropic is paying $320,000 for a copywriter. What does this tell you? - Copy is one of the most valuable pieces of demand gen - Generally AI is bad at copy - Copy is about understanding people

Virginia already charges me $165 a year for gas tax on my electric car. I'm sure they aren't the only state that does that, so now the feds want a piece of me too? In addition, VA's car tax costs about the same as paying sales tax on the value of your car EVERY YEAR. Things are already out of hand.

I wish more people knew how incestuous healthcare companies really are Say for example you have Aetna insurance & you go to your local CVS to pick up a prescription, you hand over your insurance card, you pay your copay, you walk out with the drug You just paid three companies, your insurer (Aetna), the PBM that negotiated the price (CVS Caremark), & the pharmacy that dispensed it (CVS Pharmacy) They might look like three separate businesses but they’re not All three are owned by the SAME parent corporation, CVS Health
