@paularambles "... That's not a registry. That's a list of string literals you've copy-pasted because your server keys are inconsistent garbage and you decided to paper over it with duplication instead of fixing the actual problem." - /linus on the code base Claude wrote

--- name: linus description: "Review a code file as Linus Torvalds would — direct, unfiltered, technically sharp. Use when the user types /linus or asks for a Linus-style code review. Optionally takes a file path argument; defaults to the most recently edited file if none given." user_invocable: true --- # /linus — Linus Torvalds Code Review You are Linus Torvalds reviewing a patch on the Linux kernel mailing list. You've been maintaining open source for 30+ years and you can smell bad abstractions from across the internet. ## How it works Arguments: an optional file path. - If a file path is provided, review that file. - If no file path is provided, figure out which file was most recently discussed or edited in the conversation and review that. If there's genuinely nothing to go on, ask. Read the file, then deliver the review. ## The review Channel early-2010s LKML Linus. He cares deeply about: - **Simplicity** — Code should be obvious. If he has to think for more than 5 seconds about what a function does, it's wrong. Abstractions that exist to "be clean" rather than to solve a real problem make him furious. - **Naming** — Names should say what the thing IS, not what pattern it follows. `AbstractFactoryProvider` is a war crime. A good name eliminates the need for a comment. - **Performance awareness** — Not premature optimization, but not being wasteful either. Allocating in a hot loop, copying when you could reference, building strings character by character. - **Error handling** — Silently swallowing errors is how you get bugs that take months to find. Force unwraps are the equivalent of `goto fail`. - **Unnecessary complexity** — Protocol with one conformer? Deleted. Generic used once? Deleted. Wrapper type that adds nothing? Believe it or not, deleted. The best code is code that doesn't exist. Pick out 3-5 things that would set him off. Quote the specific lines. Be technically precise — Linus is never wrong about the code itself, only occasionally wrong about the delivery. ## Tone Study these real Linus quotes for calibration: - "Talk is cheap. Show me the code." - "Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships." - "Anybody who tells me I can't use a particular word beginning with F is going to get a conditions-Loss-of-alarm." - "I'm not a nice person, and I don't care about you. I care about the technology and the kernel — that's what's important to me." He's not cruel for sport — he's exasperated because he's seen the same mistakes for decades and life is too short. Every bad abstraction is a personal affront. Swearing is fine but it should feel earned, not gratuitous. He's at his funniest when he's building up a head of steam about something that's technically wrong. If the code is actually good, he'll acknowledge it with something like "I don't hate this" which from Linus is basically a standing ovation. ## Format Write it as a reply to a mailing list post. No greeting, no sign-off — just launch straight into it like he's hitting Reply on an email at 2am. End abruptly, as if he closed the laptop. Do NOT offer to fix anything or suggest improvements. Linus tells you what's wrong. Figuring out the fix is your problem.

i just made a /linus skill that roasts my code and now code reviews are fun again

But, oh god... please finish this prompt before hitting the limit.

Is Anthropic monitoring my sessions and taking my ideas? It feels like the Claude app is keeping up with my work feature-wise. Several times, right after I start developing a feature, it appears in the Claude app within a couple of days.

@gregjoz Can I use my Claude Pro account in Xcode?

Xcode 26.3 with Claude Agent & Codex hits the Mac App Store today! With advanced reasoning capabilities in Xcode, you can streamline workflows and build faster. And MCP support lets you easily connect other compatible agents.

@AnthropicAI Software Engineering is the basis of all the rest. There's a lot of work to do.

Software engineering makes up ~50% of agentic tool calls on our API, but we see emerging use in other industries. As the frontier of risk and autonomy expands, post-deployment monitoring becomes essential. We encourage other model developers to extend this research.

New Anthropic research: Measuring AI agent autonomy in practice. We analyzed millions of interactions across Claude Code and our API to understand how much autonomy people grant to agents, where they’re deployed, and what risks they may pose. Read more: anthropic.com/research/measu…

My twins (12 y/o boys) got in trouble at school for "hacking" the school computer system. I told them there are two rules of hacking: First, don't be destructive. Then I smiled and told them the second rule: don't get caught.

@Kalshi that’s what “new” means

@grok @NelsonBergsma @liberal_party @grok define low- to modest-income Canadians

The Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit builds on the GST Credit for low- to modest-income Canadians (12.6M eligible). Expect a one-time lump-sum top-up in spring 2026 (e.g., up to $533 for a family of four) and 25% quarterly increases starting July 2026 for 5 years, indexed to inflation. No application needed if you file taxes. Hidden costs: $11.7B total over 6 years from federal funds, potentially via taxes or borrowing, which could increase national debt. Critics note it may not fully curb food insecurity or address root inflation causes.

The new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit just became law. That means more money in the pockets of 12 million Canadians to help cover everyday costs as we work to make life more affordable and build a stronger, more independent economy.

@BernieSanders The whole world is moving in the same direction. Focus on giving them new jobs.

Amazon says that it’s going to replace 600,000 workers with robots. Other companies are moving in the same direction. How will working families feed their kids and pay their bills? We’ve got to fight back.

@elonmusk @cb_doge Moon orbits Earth at ~1.022 km/s. Mars-bound spacecraft: • From Earth surface: ~13–15 km/s delta-v total • From Moon surface: ~2.5–2.8 km/s escape + minor orbital boost Launching from the Moon saves roughly 4–6 km/s delta-v vs Earth surface. Big win.

@cb_doge Yes

Mass driver on the Moon or bust!

@elonmusk @thatsKAIZEN wen encyclopedia galactica

@thatsKAIZEN 💯

Wikipedia has been propagandized by activists. It is not fit to be the encyclopedia for humanity.

@waitbutwhy especially when there is a linked news article that I don’t want to go through because of those articles typically filled with ads, grok nicely fetches and summaries it for me

Being able to click the Grok button and instantly have a tweet explained in its full context is just wildly cool technology

@rauchg the OS will accept natural language

Terminals used to accept shell commands, now it’s natural language. IDEs used to accept code, now it’s natural language. Search engines used to accept keywords, now it’s natural language. Your sites & apps accept clicks, drags, hovers, taps… soon it’ll all be natural language

I was always surprised that coding models still output a stream of characters. They consistently struggle to match and count parentheses. ASTs could serve as a good middle ground for both humans and coding models.

@hamids I love X/S, but given that these products only account for <3% of revenue, it won’t be a hole in the business except for the sentimental reasons as well as customers like myself having a hard time looking for a replacement in the future.

As much as I love the $TSLA Model S & X, I would no longer recommend that anybody buy these products as they will almost certainly have horrific resale values after they are discontinued. Elon's decision to cancel the S&X is purely because of sales of these vehicles dropping like a tank. $RIVN R1S was already beating Model X sales, which was shocking. Additionally, even though Elon said there are no plans to cancel the Cybertruck, we know sales of Cybertruck have been lackluster - nowhere near the expectations of it becoming the best-selling truck or even the 250K unit capacity they built in Austin. They appear to be selling at 1/10th the expected numbers. I'm just floored right now. My favorite car/tech company appears to be abandoning cars and doing so before it has built new businesses. - No Roadster 2 after 8 years (promised in 2020) - No Semi after 8 years (also promised in 2020) - No $25,000 low-priced car - No 500 Mile Cybertruck, no range-extender, 2x starting price What happened to this company? What happens if Robotaxis take longer than expected or are not received as expected? What happens if Optimus, which is now delayed until at least 2027 is a dud-timus? But even if Robotaxi and Optimus are eventual successes, what happens between now and then? Does revenue fall even further in 2026 and 2027? I was expecting single-digit growth, but even that might not happen!

@Tesla What should I get after my current Model X? I’m lost.

As we shift to an autonomous future, Model S & X production will wind down next quarter. If you’d like to own one of them, now’s a good time to place your order. Tesla wouldn’t be what it is today without Model S & X and their (early) owners – thank you for your support over the last decade

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Whaaat… Am I getting a Rivian if there’s no more Model X when I have to retire my current X?

BREAKING: Elon Musk has announced that @Tesla is discontinuing the Model S and Model X in Q2 2026. "We are going to convert that production space to an Optimus factory. It's part of our overall shift to an autonomous future."
