@KaiXCreator I don’t like the idea that juniors just do the boring work, it’s a lazy approach to educating. The amount of value extracted in conversations and being involved is huge. I’d go as far as saying juniors are more valuable armed with an agent and a good team to guide them.

If Claude Code can now write code, run the app, debug errors, review pull requests, and even fix bugs automatically what exactly is left for junior developers to do?

I still use an IDE, but nowhere near the way I used to. These days it’s mostly for understanding application structure, navigating large existing codebases, refactoring, reorganising files/classes, and spotting patterns across a system. Ironically, the bigger and older the codebase, the more valuable the IDE becomes. New projects feel increasingly terminal-first.

So everyone switched to CLIs now or are there still developers out there using IDEs?

This is amazing, and incredible validation for UK and Scotland’s talent. But it would’ve been even better to see them survive and scale as a Scottish company with proper backing through grants, investment and incentives from government. We keep seeing strong companies sold overseas because scaling locally is harder than it should be, and long term that usually costs us talent, ownership and influence.

The real headline for people in the UK is that a Scottish company has just been acquired by @OpenAI. The company, Tomoro AI, is an AI consulting company that will form the initial bulk of the "OpenAI Deployment Company". Talent in the UK continues to be some of the best in the world, and it's great to see OpenAI doubling down on people here.

Today we’re launching the OpenAI Deployment Company to help businesses build and deploy AI. It's majority-owned and controlled by OpenAI. It brings together 19 leading investment firms, consultancies, and system integrators to help organizations deploy frontier AI to production for business impact. openai.com/index/openai-l…

This really annoys me about weather apps. The day icon shows rain but it just represents a few showers during the day? I don’t know what the symbol should be, but the weighting feels wrong. Also, the 80% represents a chance, not 80% of the day 🥹

imagine if apple basically let you set up a home “server” that ran inference on that device with sophisticated models & every apple ecosystem device is a node off of that central server. it’s complicated but if anyone can deploy hardware like this it would be them. this would allow zero marginal cost ai without any middle man with a super privacy first approach. it would create another product category entirely. anyone remember the airport extreme?

@danielcberk I’ve tried it quite a few times and it never stuck. I mainly tired to use it for notes but I still prefer simple markdown files.

@karrisaarinen youtu.be/P4VBqTViEx4 The VC model almost requires bait and switch. You need growth metrics to raise, so the product has to be good enough to hook people. But "good enough to hook" and "genuinely great" are different goals, and the money only ever cared about the first one.

@karrisaarinen There's a Jobs interview from the 90s where he explains exactly why this happens. Once a company figures out how to make money without the product being great, the product people get pushed out. VC just runs that same script faster monetisation as bait and switch, not innovation.

I keep thinking I miss having someone like Steve Jobs in the industry. He had some standards. He cared about quality, coherence, and making great products. He could be ruthless and he had plenty of flaws, but it still felt like he and Apple were trying to make something genuinely great above all else. They had their opinions and you could respect that. They didn't try to force you, but make their case why they think it's good. Now tech feels driven by trend chasing, fear, scale, revenue comparisons, endless games and everyone talks their book. Investors come first, business goals next, and users last if not at all. I wish there would still someone like Steve still around

"Moral of the story? Get married. Stay married. Have kids. Raise them together... You’ll be happier... The data says so." And might I add: Don't wait too long. We started in our early 30s and ended up with three. If we had started in late 20s, we might have gone for four.

We now have a version of Omarchy where everything is working out-of-the-box with the new Dell XPS Panther Lake machine! Webcam, sound, display refresh. Huge thanks to @dell and @intel for this collaboration! Excited to get this released in time for first customer machines 🤘

@LindaNi1212O2 No injuries reported, which is incredible given what happened. However, lots of small businesses lost everything.

Took this in May 2018 outside Glasgow Central. Loved the old Wimpy ghost sign and the stonework around the windows. Sad ending. It became the vape shop that caught fire today and caused the total building to collapse. Another sad ending to Glasgow architecture and history.

@chrissy_dev @Lealea2009 Was the Wimpy shop the site where The Pancake Place was located? Struggling to remember which side of the Central Station entrance this was.

That Wimpy sign alone hints at one chapter in its life, but the building must’ve seen generations come and go. Different shops, different people, different eras. Strange to think something that stood for so long can disappear overnight.
