Laptop stickers are the coder equivalent of prison tattoos.

@threepointone Don't tell me they lost data.

github says the incident is over, but I'm missing actual PRs under cloudflare/agents repo(!!) fool me twice...

@SebAaltonen I'm tired boss. You do it.

Codex being lazy today: You're the engine author - you'll be much faster than me at finding the actual bug.

@fahad19 Every potato farmer is a failed software engineer?

😭

@pbyrokraatti Hyvä hallitusohjelma.

Torille (kerjuulle)! 🇫🇮 Tämä olennaisesti muuta kehittynyttä maailmaa korkeampi työttömyytemme ei hellitä, ennen kuin teemme rakenteellisia muutoksia: verot alas, työmarkkinoiden esteet (mm. yleissitovuus ja korkea irtisanomissuoja) pois.

@JohannaKukka Todennäköisesti. Voi mennä myös kiisseliksi.

@bebraw Mahtavuutta, se kasvun ihme😍 Onko raparperipiirakkaa luvassa🤩

Hevoskastanjan kukalla on silmissään koreat ripset🌸🤩 Se vinkkaa viehkeästi silmää sullekin😘

@charles_irl That's straight from R'lyeh.

trying out claude code again after a long time using opencode i can see why they went with the "mythos" name

@RhysSullivan Freudian slips, yup.

this philosophy lecturer on youtube keeps bringing up the example of cheating on your income taxes making me think that he's cheating on his income taxes

@kettanaito @AuthorGFAllen I think it's fairly common in certain scientific circles and especially with older people.

@AuthorGFAllen Who on earth uses Word?

BREAKING NEWS: If you can’t afford Word, you can’t afford to publish the quality books your readers deserve. More on that later.

@AdamTornhill Yeah, I think you have to be very strict with the models. That's a good list for guardrails incidentally!

I still meet people convinced that AI coding tools will soon reach a point where code quality, design, and even architecture are "solved". So I ran a small ad-hoc experiment. I’ve been working on a CLI tool and let agents plan and implement a first functionally correct version. I provided strict instructions around testing strategy, workflows, and implementation constraints. But I deliberately removed the @codescene MCP and the safeguards I normally rely on. Unsurprisingly, the resulting code suffered from a ton of problems. It would have been a shaky foundation to continue building on. How soon would it have collapsed under continued change? So I went through a series of refactorings, re-designs, and more general cleanup passes. Afterward, I asked the AI to summarize the necessary corrections. And this was using Opus 4.7 for implementation, plus GPT 5.4/5.5 for docs. Not cheap models. This is why I keep saying that agentic development is harder than coding by hand. The software engineering does not disappear. Rather, it gets compressed into a ridiculously short feedback loop.

@mihar_22 10x in what, exactly.

Everyone wants 10x engineers, but I don’t think people realize how rare that actually is. Narrative is that AI can make anyone 10x. I can’t follow the logic Either people somehow leveled up: designing systems, tradeoffs, reviewing at 10x quality+speed. Or, just pumping 10x slop?

@joonasvirtanen You know things are serious when your rothko is black.

made a site that picks the closest rothko for how the weather feels outside your window

@paulg I wonder if the quality of an average book will actually go down because of all this.

One thing I've learned from using AIs is that the median person is unable to read paragraphs of ordinary prose. Now I understand why so many recently published books consist of snippets of text — what would be called sidebars, if the book weren't composed of them.

@AndrasGerlits @jorandirkgreef @samuellhuber My feeling is that LLMs go well with mutation testing. It's an old forgotten idea but it meshes well with LLMs as it gives them yet another tool to poke holes to your code.

@jorandirkgreef @samuellhuber I'm with you almost all the way. I do have one counterargument. LLMs are useless for expressing intent and code is expressed intent if done well. What I'm not sure about is if we can use LLMs to brute force explorations of a given semantic space, correcting course sometimes

I asked the TigerBeetle team yesterday: “What are the things that accelerate us existentially, by orders of magnitude?” Everyone said: “Exponential quality” “First principles understanding” “Systems thinking” “A methodology that’s 2nd order remarkable” Guess what nobody said?

@royalicing @yacineMTB That sounds sensible given how dangerously powerful GraphQL can be if you don't know what you are doing.

@yacineMTB The way Meta used GraphQL was unlike how most other orgs used it. Meta would take the queries their front-ends made and then SHA them as an ID and then the backend would *only* allow those queries and none others.

Graphql is genuinely the most retarded idea ever. There used to be an entire career around graphql Honestly the best part about automating programmers is that I don't have to hire people, which means that I don't have to tolerate bad engineering decisions

@Whotfismick The name might have changed, but the bird will live on.

Twitter brand is so strong it was renamed and it’s still Twitter

@TejasKumar_ It's the same people that take an escalator/lift to reach the gym.

there’s almost no lower aura than people who just stand in front of gym equipment waiting for it to become available instead of using the same time to go do something else in the mean time. even just walking around would be better

@tszzl Sometimes you have to ask the model how can you help it to get better results. This can be surprisingly effective tactic!

after introducing an elite lawyer friend to 5.5 pro the models do not sell themselves and one of Claude’s great successes has been packaging them up and marketing usecases for many verticals

@gondolaria @lauriewired @CryptoCyberia My small Genelec sub is subtle yet punchy. Just what you want. 😅

@lauriewired @CryptoCyberia how do you manage a subwoofer in a small apartment? even at the lowest practical gain my neighbors a knock on my door after a few minutes without fail.

New sound card released. I don't really see the point these days, especially when most people into music already have a USB DAC. Am I missing something here?
