Building https://t.co/v2L0a3yunr Masters in Data Science from Philipps-University Marburg


Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau at Coachella (2026)

Omacon is kicking off in a few hours at the beautiful @Shopify space in NYC. All us speakers met up yesterday to test the tech and meet'n'greet. What a privilege to hang out with such a fine bunch of nerds!

It took generations for Germany to heal after Hitler. It will be no different for America.













In celebration of Omarchy 3.5 being the first distro to ship with complete Linux compatibility for the new XPS Panther Lake laptops, @Dell made me a special unit with super + omarchy keys instead of Windows and Copilot. So damn cool!



Just six months ago, @dhh (creator of Ruby on Rails and Omarchy) said how he doesn’t really use AI tools to write code, because they are not good enough. Things have changed, a lot.

Stop switching between different tools, and have them all in one place. statsig.com/pragmatic • @WorkOS – Everything you need to make your app enterprise ready. WorkOS gives you APIs to ship enterprise features in days. Check out WorkOS.com • @SonarSource – The makers of SonarQube, the industry standard for automated code review. See how SonarQube Advanced Security is empowering the Agent Centric Development Cycle (AC/DC) with new capabilities. sonarsource.com/products/sonar… Three interesting observations from this conversation: #1 DHH's philosophy on AI has not changed, but the available tools very much have. Autocomplete-style coding assistants were genuinely annoying for experienced developers six months ago. Things changed with the shift from tab-completion to agent harnesses, plus the emergence of powerful models like Opus 4.5 – when agents started producing code which DHH does want to merge with little to no alteration. #2 Beautiful code and products aren’t matters of vanity; they’re signals of correctness. Dipping into philosophy, DHH says: “When something is beautiful, it’s likely to be correct.” He argues that Steve Jobs wanted the inside of a computer to be beautiful because people who care about circuit board layout are also those who sweat on the details of the UI. #3 DHH’s development workflow, today: He runs tmux to have two models running, and neovim in the center. Specifics: - One fast LLM running (typically Gemini 2.5) in one split terminal - A slow but more powerful model in another terminal (usually Opus) - NeoVim for reviewing diffs via Lazygit

"Just use Vercel." "Just use Supabase." "Just use Clerk." Cool. Now your auth, database, and deployment are owned by 3 different companies who can change pricing whenever they want. And the rest of your product is wrapping OpenAI. At some point you have to ask yourself: what do I actually own here?
