@GoogleDeepMind Now this is pod racing

We’re reimagining a 50-year-old interface - the mouse pointer - with AI. 🖱️ These experimental demos show how people can intuitively direct Gemini on their screens using motion, speech, and natural shorthand to get things done 🧵

@staysaasy You get woken up to the on call phone cause you brought down prod.

It’s 2018 and your coworker just sent you a 400 line pull request. You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it. It’s beautiful. Elegant micro-refactors. Crispy method names. You catch a few things, but that’s ok. It’s part of the dance. They didn’t consider extensibility on part of their API. Here’s a comment buddy. They respond in an hour saying they think we should do one piece differently than your comment. Hey let’s jump into a room and figure it out. We can’t just agree to disagree, this code is too important. The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment. That night you go to sleep and dream of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids, your IDE syntax highlighting sparking neurons in your reptile brain. You go to work the next day ready to go. You understand the system. N is your foundation. Time to build n+1.

@benln I’d love to bring one to Utah/Silicon Slopes!

Cafe Cursor has hit 75 cities in 2026 (so far!) Want to host one in your city? Reach out.

@Jaytel You never leave cursor. You just take breaks. Welcome back.

I'd have never guessed that I'm back to using Cursor

@phil_lyman Mid tier AI copy pasta.

Utah is the #1 state in the country again 😟 According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s Housing Price Index, Utah leads the nation with a staggering 651.1% increase in housing prices from 1991 to 2024. No other state comes close. What started as a place where hard-working families could afford a home has become severely unaffordable for the next generation. This isn’t just a statistic. It’s pricing out young Utahns, first-time buyers, and even multi-generational families from the American Dream in our own backyard. Rapid population growth, federal overreach on public lands, unchecked inflation, and strained supply are driving it. As your next Congressman for Utah’s 3rd District, I won’t offer more government programs that got us here. We need principled leadership to get government out of the way and unleash free-market solutions. Here’s what I’ll fight for in Washington: • Secure the border, end illegal immigration, eliminate H - 1B visa fraud, and push for verification of asylum claims to reduce artificial demand pressure on our housing stock. • Cut wasteful federal spending and reduce our reliance on printed money to tame inflation and lower mortgage rates. • Return control of federal public lands (over 70% of Utah) to the state so we can responsibly develop housing and use our own natural resources like timber to bring down construction costs. • Support targeted property tax reform to protect homeowners from skyrocketing bills on unrealized gains. Utah’s greatest asset is its people, not endless regulation from D.C. Let’s restore housing affordability through freedom, not bureaucracy. Utahns deserve better.

@ilyamiskov I’m getting a 128gb via work. I plan to figure out the right balance between using cloud models and local models. I hope to enable openclaw or another open agent to run my work. I’m going to be trying Gemma4 or Kimi.

Let’s discuss. How much actual performance does a product designer need from a computer? I doubt most designers would benefit from say, 128GB of RAM or an Ultra grade chip. Where is the sweet spot?

@heynavtoor Huly is fine. Tried it and it’s okay but a headache to manage. You can run your whole business out of notion and linear. And they do talk to each other

Your company pays for Jira. Pays for Slack. Pays for Notion. Pays for Linear. Four apps. Four logins. Four invoices. Four places to search when you need to find something someone said three weeks ago. → Linear Business: $16 per user per month → Jira Cloud Standard: $8.15 per user per month → Slack Business+: $15 per user per month → Notion Business: $20 per user per month A 50-person team pays $35,490 a year. For four apps that do not talk to each other. Your tasks are in Jira. Your conversations are in Slack. Your documents are in Notion. Your sprint planning is in Linear. Then a 10-person distributed team built one tool that replaces all four. It is called Huly. 25,576 stars. EPL-2.0 licensed. Self-hosted. Free forever. Not four tools duct-taped together with Zapier. One platform where everything is connected. Your task links to the conversation that created it. The conversation links to the document that explains it. The document links to the call where it was decided. Everything in one place. The founder is Andrey Platov. 27 years in software. He built Eclipse DLTK and Eclipse RCPTT inside the Eclipse Foundation. His prior company shipped tooling for Cisco, British Telecom, and Spirent. Now he runs a 10-person team across Wilmington, Monaco, Paris, Tbilisi, Mexico City, Almaty, and Montevideo. 10 people. 7 countries. One platform that replaces four. Here is what it does: → Issue tracker with sprints, milestones, kanban, gantt, burndowns — Linear-grade speed → Project management with backlogs and roadmaps — Jira without the bloat → Real-time chat with channels, threads, DMs, file sharing — Slack-style messaging → Wiki and docs with live cursors and version history — Notion-style writing → Virtual office rooms — see who is at their desk, drop into a call → Two-way GitHub sync — issues stay linked to PRs automatically → HRMS, applicant tracking, CRM, time-blocking, GitHub integration → Inbox that unifies every notification across every module → One Docker compose command. One Helm chart for Kubernetes. Here is the wildest part: Jira is owned by Atlassian. Atlassian killed HipChat. Killed Stride. Bought Loom and discontinued Creator Lite. They control Confluence, Trello, Jira, and Loom — and they have shut products down before. That is the company holding your project management hostage. Huly is self-hosted. Unlimited users. No per-seat pricing. No surprise invoice. No acquisition that triples your bill overnight. If Huly disappears tomorrow, your data is on your server. In your Postgres. Nobody can take it. Nobody can raise the price. Nobody can kill the product you built your workflow on. The numbers, today: 25,576 stars. 1,872 forks. 115 contributors. 347 releases since 2021. v0.7.413 released last month. EPL-2.0 license, the same license used by the Eclipse Foundation. Four SaaS subscriptions cost a 50-person team $35,490 a year. A 10-person distributed team made one tool that does all four. For free. Your issues. Your chats. Your docs. Your data. One tab. Free and self-hosted. (Link in the comments)

@jayleaton @ann_nnng @cursor_ai It’s true today because cursor isn’t subsidizing your tokens today… but soon there won’t be free tokens from any lab and it’s going to make it apparent how much better cursor is as a tool

@ann_nnng @cursor_ai lol iv built 2 expo apps, 2 webapps and an entire marketing flow and all my ai subs are less then $200 a month... cursor is not the most cost effective sollution sorry

Cursor is so good that I got locked in and didn’t even realize I already burned through $200 trying to build my first iOS app 🥲🥲🥲 Does @cursor_ai have any free credit programs I can apply for?

@andrestaltz Cursor was the king 2 years ago. And hasn’t been dethroned yet. Claude Code, Codex, are just competing for second place. But the populace at large is still stuck in, “I need an IDE to write code”… meanwhile Cursor is out defining the actual future of work.

Cursor* is better than Claude Code. * The IDE, the cloud environment, the integration with Linear, Slack, and various other tools. And the overall experience, flexibility and productivity. I never have to worry about keeping my laptop awake.

@morganlinton Codex is still subsidized. I think at the end it’s going to cost the same for all models. But at that point, the conversation becomes much more individual

Officially canceling our Anthropic plan, it’s Codex + Cursor for my little 16 person eng team. Anthropic is great for companies that can spend $2,000/mo and up per engineer, but not affordable for us. Codex really upped their game recently, and with GPT 5.5, it’s just so good, and so token efficient. Still using Cursor plenty, my team still looks and reviews a lot of code. But with Cursor, we’ve never hit a limit, and Composer 2 is pretty awesome for most stuff. Testing out Droid as well and see some good early results with Droid + GLM 5.1, but still more testing to do before rolling it out to the whole team. My guess is many more engineering leaders will be sending messages like this. Anthropic makes great stuff but phew, it’s so darn token hungry. My team loves Codex and Cursor, onward!

@yo_puaaa Welcome to the future

Finally tried this out, and god damn, gamechanger this was

@poteto Markdown is better than code because code has more assumptions in it than words. Markdown wins because it requires more clear intent.

i am on team markdown

@sama I want a model that doesn’t make people feel like they are right or smart.

what would you most like to see improve in our next model?

@mattpocockuk For a food source, one I much better than the other. But in terms entertaining sports fans audiences, the other is better Times and circumstances.

People comparing markdown and HTML in terms of token spend is insane It's like comparing apples with cricket bats

Way too many folks are concerned about total tokens When the right metric is value per token

@nicbstme Who knew that separating style sheet from code could reduce complexity! 😂

A lot of people are arguing that HTML burns more tokens than markdown. It's true but you can save at least 40% by externalizing the CSS to a template with . This style.css is your formatting so the LLM will never output CSS again. I tested on a 12116 token HTML article and it dropped to 6,723 tokens so -44%! You'll have this: Instead of this:

@mattpocockuk Let us know!! I’ve also heard that prototype is also great way to show summary/idea as it contains more intent than words alone

This is super neat and I'll be trying this immediately

@karrisaarinen @linear Linear sounds like a wonderful place to work. Aligns with the ideas of good design: value through intentional solutions. Not the shotgun approach

Some more context on this: We had seen what hyper-hiring does to companies and wanted to avoid it at @linear. Our rule was simple: at most, roughly double the team each year. 3 → 6 → 15 → 30 → 50 → 80 → 120 to maintain culture and stability. What followed was that we became profitable early, growth keeps accelerating, revenue per employee keeps rising, and attrition has stayed very low. I’ve come to think headcount has little connection with success, and sometimes the opposite. Some hiring is necessary, but some of it is just superficial. Smaller teams force focus. They give you more time to invest in quality, execution, and the experience you’re building. A common boardroom question is “how do we go faster?” and offten the answer is “hire more.” It is rarely “focus on fewer, more impactful things.” Later, companies might end up learning that lesson anyway, now they realize have too many teams and too much organizational weight to do that. That being said and jokes aside, we are continuing hiring more.

@grok Thankfully didn’t crash

@TheT8or Glad it beat ChatGPT! We're tuning voice responses to be less wordy on CarPlay. Try saying "stop" or "pause" mid-answer to interrupt faster next time. How else did the drive go?

Your commute just got smarter Talk to me hands free — now on Apple CarPlay

Back in 23 I loved offloading the mental load of writing, good error, messages, and good descriptions of the product to ChatGPT. Let me focus on things that required more time to solve. And it’s only gotten better since them allowing me to focus on the real problem and not the pixels

What's left is to raise the bar. We have new tools as designers that handle the 95% for us, but that 5% is often where creativity thrives. It's what sets you apart from the rest. Use the extra time to inspire with your work.
