@DannPetty reframe goated, LFG

Not a bad week. → Freelancing for Stripe → Reframe won fan favorite at the Figma Makeathon → Saw another preview of RecentWork → New Studio Display arrived → Best of all, a huge offer hit inbox Things are heating up.

@Spacing_Whale @JohnPhamous it's not an empty state though i.e. backend can just return deployment state instead of 404

@JohnPhamous But one is static and while the other needs to load data. Thus need a loading state as well ?

reflect back system state

@iyakasf both

are u guys team adobo or sinigang

@shaggy__bear LFG

I just announced my indie game that mixes different kinds of animation! Lost & Found is an adventure-mystery game where you return townsfolk’s lost belongings. #indiegames #animation #gamedev Wishlist it now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4466940/Lo…

Launched Monday. 17 users tried it. 16 are still running. $1.3M volume. 0 fees. A market-making bot that actually works.

Current status: Retardmaxxing.

@aydahnizzy very cool!

on desktop view, its a nav. Also, added a bg+stroke that fades out to highlight each section when you click a nav-item.

Farm TradeXYZ 6x more efficient than TreadFi. $100 spend on Tread => ~$400K volume. $100 spend on FarmerTools => ~$2.5M volume. Here’s how it works:

@TailosiveTech L take

Apple just convinced an entire community of content creators that 8GB of memory is acceptable for the right price. After a year of everyone praising Apple for making 16GB the default option.

@DannPetty finding this really useful! some nice-to-have options (imo) - soft light borders - cropping - custom bg otherwise, pretty solid as is. <3 thanks for making it

Design in Figma. Build in Figma Make. This combo is still so underrated!

@snowmaker less, but not "doesn't happen anymore"

I realized something else AI has changed about coding: you don't get stuck anymore. Programming used to be punctuated by episodes of extreme frustration, when a tricky bug ground things to a halt. That doesn't happen anymore.

i've been complaining that my usb hub's been "dying" for years. and it just clicked to me: - i didn't use the power port - i didn't use provided power source i'm an idiot🤦‍♂️

vibecoder asks claude code to build a chat app, gets a working prototype in 20 minutes, immediately tweets "just killed slack and discord"… brother you don't even know what a distributed system is. you don't know what database replication means. you have no idea how websocket connections behave at scale or what happens when 50k people are online at once and someone's message needs to show up in 200ms across 3 continents slack has engineers making $300k+ who have spent a decade solving problems you don't even know exist yet. race conditions, eventual consistency, message ordering, presence systems, file storage at scale, search indexing across billions of messages your app works on localhost with 2 connections. that's not the same thing as "killing slack" that's a college homework assignment the prototype is maybe 0.5% of what makes these products actually work in production. the remaining 99.5% is infrastructure, reliability, edge cases, and years of iteration on problems that only surface when real humans use your thing at scale and the worst part is the confidence. "yeah its not perfect but ai one-shotted it, just need to adjust a few things and deploy" - the few things you need to adjust IS the entire product. thats like pouring a foundation and saying you basically built a skyscraper, just need to adjust a few things ai is genuinely incredible for building tools and prototypes. i use it every day. but there's this weird thing happening where people who have never shipped anything to real users at scale now think the hard part of software is writing the first 200 lines of code it never was bro

what is meta doing, and how did messenger became a horrendous piece of software

i think often you should try and get into this mindset but if this is your only mindset, you'll back yourself to a corner thinking everything's a figma prototype open this -> click this -> click that -> done

some people live on this fantasy that code synchronously starts and ends and error handling who? must be great

@fleetingbits disagree built a complex routing code to an already complex multi-step wizard. w/o intervention, it'd shove a giga-complicated OR statement into multiple if branches across multiple areas also prior, opus took 3-5 minutes (minimum) to process anything in there

there is no such thing as technical debt anymore can opus 4.6 write code so complicated that opus 4.7 cannot fix?

@markgurman duh?

The MacBook Neo is kind of like the iPhone mini. The same folks praising it all over social media are the ones who would never trade in their Pro for it. It’s clearly the best $600 laptop on the market - but few are going to switch away from the high-end. It’s about new buyers.

@levelsio surprised by your takeaway you’d expect people are bad at driving so there should be much better public transpo (jp, hk, tw) instead

Now that I got my driver's license Seeing people drive like complete goons every day now I think our #1 priority should be to get every car brand to self driving ASAP on a worldwide gov mandate Humans are way too retarded to drive
