What’s the deal with shaders and why everyone are building the fucking shaders
Umoru@theumoru
experimenting with shaders using webgl
English
i cant even tell which vendors are working and which arent now..
currently have a stalled vercel deploy, is it github, is it vercel, is it somehow also related to anthropic??
everyone needs to get their shit together. the world is not going to implode if you dont ship in 30s

I forgot that I internalized this book during my first year in the job.
It’s not too late for you anon. You don’t need to automate your busywork, you just need to kiss it goodbye.
English
@dbreunig As long as they’re not mistaking busywork for being busy

Every software engineer I know using coding agents is busier than they’ve ever been.
Code is cheaper, but there’s no shortage jobs to be solved.

@lee94josh Have you tried simply not doing the things that don’t matter

Tailwind only exists because everyone thought that organizing their CSS files was hard
shadcn@shadcn
The things we used to do before tailwind bro.

@FardeemM Revenue > npm package installs
You pay the premium because you know that twilio and sinch will be around in a few years. As good as Resend is, its longevity is still a question mark.
English
I remember the day resend came out it was so obvious that this was going to be the outcome.
I mean, I don't have a crystal ball so anything could have happened and the team definitely worked so hard.
But you can just tell. Theres always some space with subpar players and the day an elite player joins the space, you immediately know that in the fullness of time they will win.
But as an amateur business anthropologist, I could never figure out why the existing players didn't just step up their game. Is it just taste? Feels too vague of an answer

3 years ago, Resend didn't exist. Now, it's the most downloaded email SDK in the world.

The battle to become the context layer for companies is absolutely raging right now.
Notion. Linear. Github. Google.
Everyone wants to play the role of substrate for the agent workforce, but none of these companies was originally designed for this.
Best of luck everyone!

@niclas1fang @cursor_ai No villains yet but I wouldn’t be giving away the sauce to Anthropic and Open AI

@bryan_king @cursor_ai Who are the bad guys, those companies that only release the close source models?

@zeeg Used sentry for the first time the other day and my first time ux as a moderately technical (but not devops neck beard) user was overwhelming. I don’t need all the power early on. Had to set it aside

Folks using our logging product, especially folks who are early stage, what do you wish was easier, or that we'd change?

95% of everything that comes across my feed is a shiny science fair project.
Look at this thing I did, you say. This is a game-changer, you exclaim.
I can assure you that it’s not changing my game, friend.
English
I sat thru a meeting today where a bunch of pseudotechnical hacks demo’d some par cooked workflow. A bunch of shit happens, but I don’t see any working code on the other end of it. Just a bunch of invented problems.
English
On an object level, I understand the play.
But the problem is that very few companies have the discipline to provide context to the problems they’re solving.
They think they’re building a “software factory” but in reality they’re making expensive Rube Goldberg machines.

Issue tracking is dead. We are building what comes next. linear.app/next
English
@Flynnjamm nobody actually wants this. They think they’re building do, but they don’t.
English
we are literally all building the same thing

I don't think history is going to be kind to the 2020–2025 vintage of startups
English
I don't want any of this. I want an issue tracker that helps me and my homies get shit done.
