Watzon

Probably time for a new #introduction 👋 Software engineer, 15 years shipping production code. Recently: @Purple, @ImpartnerPRM (both mass layoffs, not performance) Currently: Building Butterbase.app in public while job hunting Go • TypeScript • Ruby • Rust • Swift Follow for SaaS builds, job search updates, and whatever's next 👇

@aaayandev @gokayai Lol tbf that is where shameless plugs belong, but thanks for checking it out!

@_watzon @gokayai cool, ill check it out, i like that its open source and free :D (also btw, you were in probable spam section)

Introducing Slop.md... A 80,000+ Character .MD File that removes all common AI Slop design language. - A general guideline, use it anywhere. - Not a "website maker" but prevents slop design. - Made by weeks of consistent additions to the .MD of common slop structure by AI in order to prevent it. > View the video & the site for detail Before and After. Hopefully it helps you! it's my first ever public ship so I'm very open for any feedback! Special thanks to @amianthus_ for the landing page inspiration and the idea that I can do a .md release! and @leodev / @grimcodes for inspiring me to ship publicly as well!

@hunterhammonds YOLO BITCH

A Tibo reset means only 1 thing!

@paradite_ Anthropic is definitely Apple, but with a worse CEO. Not sure about the OpenAI -> Microsoft comparison though.

openai is microsoft. anthropic is apple. i don’t know why people can’t seem to understand that.

@arthurcolle @Sauers_ Genius

@Sauers_ Asking codex to change my genome to accommodate my poor lifestyle choices instead of making changes >>>

Alright this time I really don't know what Codex is doing

@diegocabezas01 What even are these options? I use all 3.

Do you use GPT-5.6 Terra or Luna?

@thegenioo They harvest Dario's tears and sell them

Tibo do you guys make money?

Finally getting around to adding telemetry to Pindrop, but don't worry, it's fully opt-in. Pindrop is still very focused on user privacy. I just really want to know how many people are using it.

@ruben_kostard From my experience this is 100% correct

Hot take: Fable is better at CAD than Sol xhigh. Codex will produce highly complex models, but make many mistakes in the details.

@aaayandev @gokayai Shameless plug, but check out Pindrop if you want to stop paying for AI dictation. If Whisper Flow still provides a better experience I could really use that feedback.

written by AI, but I dictated it using whisper flow, generated many slop templates and painfully went through all and found every slop stuff I could find and added it there, + many good design language stuff also all added, So it isn’t straight up slop, that would be pretty cooked 😭 :D

@SallyMayweather And posting something blatantly incorrect without fact checking is exactly what I'd expect from whatever you are

Mamdami giving himself an +18% raise is exactly what I’d expect from a socialist.

@argofowl Amen

it's not a coincidence that this only happened to bridgeslop 😭

@maria_rcks Elongated Muskrat himself

WHO THE FUCK SAW THIS

@auroter Definitely satisfying to see those numbers go down (or up depending on how you look at it)

@_watzon Hell yeah. Optimization is probably the most satisfying domain of engineering at large.

A couple days ago I requested a feature in Pindrop, the app I use for dictation on Mac. And now it's been shipped! @_watzon moves fast. Pindrop now automatically inserts paragraph breaks in longer dictations using NLP to detect when the subject changes. Because why use AI when simple code will do? I highly recommend this app for dictation if you're using a Mac. I use it with Parakeet V2 and it's typically instantaneous, error free, and runs 100% local using minimal battery power. 80% of my text entry on a computer goes through Pindrop. If you're writing messages to your AI Agent, or if you like transcribing segments of Youtube videos and interspersing your own notes, or even if you like writing longer tweets, an app like this is a total game changer and takes the overhead out of typing. Parakeet seems to work fine in loud environments, if you're somewhere people are talking, somewhere with a TV on, etc, it still works flawlessly and separates your voice from the background. pindropstt.com

Hello people who followed me because of Pindrop or my other projects! Can you see my posts now? Big things coming!

@kimmonismus Hard to return fire when your only ammunition is "Fable has been extended for another week"

another shot fired at Anthropic. The question is: when will they return fire?

Honestly GPT-5.6 Sol + Oh-My-Pi and I'm struggling to hit my usage limit so I can use a reset before it expires. I might have to turn on fast mode again.

@thdxr @ryannystrom Honestly I think Anomaly has one of the healthiest workplace environments I've ever seen (from the outside looking in)

@ryannystrom yeah...

pmf is when your unreleased thing goes down and all your coworkers start yelling

@blader I was ready to disagree, but I think these speak volumes. Grok, ChatGPT, and Claude in that order. Keep in mind though, this is "democrat" as a definition, not leftist. A Democrat is just a less far right Republican.

i'll just say it: grok is republican coded openai is centrist coded anthropic is democrat coded

Finally, a rebrand that doesn't suck ass
