@kentcdodds For many years now I’ve been haunted by two open letters from engineers formerly of Blackberry and the Microsoft Internet Explorer team about their managers and senior hierarchy proudly refusing to use competitors’ products, or consider the possibility that they weren’t the best.

@theo What sucks is your comments like this get lost in the Internet, not stored as examples of GoogleFails, or AntFails, Or OAIFails. There should be a nice hierarchical structured list of all your commentary on each of these billion dollar fails (more money than brains).

@kenwheeler While typing this I thought about the 2026 social media drama shithead, or YouTube vibe coder buy-my-course equivalent, and now I’m just angry at society.

@kenwheeler Man, I think about the Kon-Tiki expedition all the time. Imagine living in an era when an ethnographer convince five other people to spend more than three months alone on a raft, hoping to travel 4,300 miles based on a personal hunch about ocean currents. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kon-Tiki_…

Why does Claude not want us to use 3rd-party harnesses? Are they afraid we'll use fewer tokens than usual?

Today I let my family down. I’ve worked for years, confident that whatever life threw at me I’d be able to tackle. If my family needs it, I’ll provide. Today my wife needed a cord. I confidently marched to my stash. 5v, 12, 19v 24v, even the obscure 27v. I have it all I was not ready for the curve ball life threw at me. 5v 6.5amp. Such high amps, so low volts. I came up empty. Cord guys I need your help. Was this all for nothing?

@DavidKPiano Tou probably previously used @xstate/store with Hermes Agent or Openclaw, so now it’s on a global Anthropic denylist.

This is a little silly: Asked ChatGPT and Claude to create a React tic-tac-toe game using @xstate/store. ChatGPT: no problem Claude: library not supported (???) Are we gatekeeping npm packages now?

@DavidKPiano GPT-5.4 is only bad at frontend design if you want your website to look good.

@DavidKPiano Maybe they're conflating "user" with "CFO", or whoever is approving enterprise development tools.

USERS care if code is messy. They care if the app is buggy. Or slow. Or if the UX is frustrating. Or if important features are missing or broken. These are downstream effects of messy, unmaintainable code.
Suhas@zuess05

Senior developers are currently having a massive existential crisis because Claude writes "messy code" A junior just used Claude to ship an entire feature in 2 hours. Meanwhile, the Senior is still spending 3 days reviewing code. When will y'all realize that literally nobody cares if the code is "messy"?

@threepointone @kenwheeler I remember a time when we didn’t want things to be insane. Now every new AI-adjacent release is praised as insane, yet I’m still not allowed to call anything retarded.

I think if we want to be serious people moving forward, it’s really important that when people make “This changes everything!” posts, we ridicule them en masse and tell them to shut the fuck up, and maybe even maintain a running list of people who do this

@DavidKPiano What about an agent that could look at my private ADHD repos and be, like, “I get what you were trying to do, but this is what it would book like not cobbled together at 3am”.

It's sad that there are so many AI devtool companies focused on creating new code & "replacing" devs, and not enough on maintaining/improving codebases (non-performatively) & replacing management

@simonswiss @thekitze In Western Australia we’re traditionally double brick, though I think that’s changing to scrape more profit out of new houses.
