@levelsio @Cloudflare I feel the same about Spain, having left the country young and having come back now after living in the UK for a long time, seems like such a wasted potential. An incredible country and place to be in so many dimensions but so behind, slow and promoting the wrong mentality.

Every time I say Portugal is an amazing country but absolutely nothing here functions properly I catch so much flack and blame for it And especially Portuguese people will blame and it's all because of me, myself and I Now you have the CEO of a $50B company @Cloudflare saying it too The government here simply doesn't function at any level, courts are extremely slow, running a business here is practically impossible and there's a perpetual shortage of people because nobody actually wants to work (you can get easily get €500/mo benefits here, so why work for a €750/mo minimum wage, only €250 more but you have to work :D) Meanwhile the young, ambitious and high IQ leave the country at age 18 because no opportunities The weather is absolutely perfect though, air quality cleanest in the world, the most beautiful sunsets, people are generally nice (outside of the service industry), the fresh food is actually good And Portugal has the opportunity of a lifetime, everyone in tech wants to move here and move their company along with it, and that could be a massive contribution to the economy creating high tech jobs, and elevate the population But it just feels they prefer to actively waste that opportunity

We are excited to introduce x402–a new open source payments protocol built on HTTP rails. Let’s break it down:

I'm extremely grateful that I got to learn programming the hard way before AI.

@robjtede It isnt, car subscriptions are popping 😁

Feeling entrepreneurial. Anyone want to tell me why buy-to-rent for cars is a bad idea?

@PandelisZ yessss sir 🫡

I've been dying to share this finally. It's been allot of hard work. Now we can start on the even harder work. Best in the world. Feels good to say

@World2FlyHelp Customer service team said they didn’t know, refused to let us speak with a manager and hanged up on us.

@borjadotai Customer Service team, where they will be able to answer your queries: 900 92 40 40 (for calls from Spain, Monday to Friday from 9 am to 6 pm (CET)). Thank you very much. Best regards. Alba. - 2/2

Last week, we launched our latest feature page. But just a month ago, it was only an idea. Here’s the creative process from draft to final product 🧵 (1/10)

@robjtede @msdev @msdevUK Well deserved!

Microsoft is the MVP of the day! Cannot express my gratitude of this. It’s so refreshing to see a bigger tech company demonstrate their understanding of open-source value, too. Thank you @msdev @msdevUK

Actually, really liked the Apple Intelligence announcement. It must be a very exciting time at Apple as they layer AI on top of the entire OS. A few of the major themes. Step 1 Multimodal I/O. Enable text/audio/image/video capability, both read and write. These are the native human APIs, so to speak. Step 2 Agentic. Allow all parts of the OS and apps to inter-operate via "function calling"; kernel process LLM that can schedule and coordinate work across them given user queries. Step 3 Frictionless. Fully integrate these features in a highly frictionless, fast, "always on", and contextual way. No going around copy pasting information, prompt engineering, or etc. Adapt the UI accordingly. Step 4 Initiative. Don't perform a task given a prompt, anticipate the prompt, suggest, initiate. Step 5 Delegation hierarchy. Move as much intelligence as you can on device (Apple Silicon very helpful and well-suited), but allow optional dispatch of work to cloud. Step 6 Modularity. Allow the OS to access and support an entire and growing ecosystem of LLMs (e.g. ChatGPT announcement). Step 7 Privacy. <3 We're quickly heading into a world where you can open up your phone and just say stuff. It talks back and it knows you. And it just works. Super exciting and as a user, quite looking forward to it.

So here's a story of, by far, the weirdest bug I've encountered in my CS career. Along with @maciejwolczyk we've been training a neural network that learns how to play NetHack, an old roguelike game, that looks like in the screenshot. Recenlty, something unexpected happened.

Today I learned that Steve Jobs created the podcast

Wow, HTTP QUERY landed in Node.js 21.7.2 GET with request body 🤯

@nicocary Let’s gooooo

Can't believe I got this working 🤯 Live preview of a Blender scene with the Vision Pro.

# automating software engineering In my mind, automating software engineering will look similar to automating driving. E.g. in self-driving the progression of increasing autonomy and higher abstraction looks something like: 1. first the human performs all driving actions manually 2. then the AI helps keep the lane 3. then it slows for the car ahead 4. then it also does lane changes and takes forks 5. then it also stops at signs/lights and takes turns 6. eventually you take a feature complete solution and grind on the quality until you achieve full self-driving. There is a progression of the AI doing more and the human doing less, but still providing oversight. In Software engineering, the progression is shaping up similar: 1. first the human writes the code manually 2. then GitHub Copilot autocompletes a few lines 3. then ChatGPT writes chunks of code 4. then you move to larger and larger code diffs (e.g. Cursor copilot++ style, nice demo here youtube.com/watch?v=Smklr4…) 5.... Devin is an impressive demo of what perhaps follows next: coordinating a number of tools that a developer needs to string together to write code: a Terminal, a Browser, a Code editor, etc., and human oversight that moves to increasingly higher level of abstraction. There is a lot of work not just on the AI part but also the UI/UX part. How does a human provide oversight? What are they looking at? How do they nudge the AI down a different path? How do they debug what went wrong? It is very likely that we will have to change up the code editor, substantially. In any case, software engineering is on track to change substantially. And it will look a lot more like supervising the automation, while pitching in high-level commands, ideas or progression strategies, in English. Good luck to the team!

@pontusab @middayai @viktorhofte Will the code base be open source? Lots of gems in there from what you’ve shared!

While we are running private beta for @middayai and squeezing bugs like crazy, we are also preparing for the public beta launch! This is a wip of the new website 🎉 and yes there will be some easter eggs and bento grids 🥰

Do I know anyone who's a lates and greatest @nextjs expert? I'm getting stupid slow load times when navigating across pages using Next14 with app router and RSCs and I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong or RSCs and app router just isn't there...

@rameerez Welcome to the city 😜

Just landed in London, going to be here only until tomorrow. Nice city you got going on under the clouds!
