@ceehex @mholt6 @usgraphics There’s also JUCE, can do anything you want there too.

@mholt6 @co_await @usgraphics use qml and it can look like whatever u want

I'm building a cross-platform database manager because I need and want to. It will have high-performing native UI frontends for Linux (Qt), Mac (SwiftUI), and Windows (WinUI), as well as a cross-platform TUI (in Go). They all share the same Go backend. Early preview in thread🧵

@pmddomingos rewiring

I remember when Wired was a magazine about technology.

@scumitchell @htmx_org And those headphones.

@htmx_org Can we bring back Apple's print marketing team while we're at it?

if only you knew how good things really were

@valigo true

Maybe hot take idk, but C++ shouldn't have had "class" keyword. It's just a marketing syntax sugar over "struct" that prefixes everything with "private" unless you tell it otherwise. This is pure example of bloat. Might've been a canon event that set C++ on the wrong path.

@GamewithDave Prince of Persia

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

@cgtwts Robots made by robots

Anthropic CEO: “ I have engineers within anthropic who don’t write any code, they just let Claude write the code and they edit it and look it over” “At anthropic writing code means designing the next version of Claude it self, so we essentially have Claude designing the next version of Claude itself, not completely but most of it”. In the last 52 days, the Claude team dropped 50+ major feature launches. This is literally INSANE.

@Thebestfigen That Toyota Corolla will go for another 20 years. Just change the oil.

Raising a child who gets so excited about owning a 20-year-old Toyota Corolla is a job well done.

@lilrishgi I’m pretty sure he has custom-built software too.

Évidemment que Kanye West a tous les secrets. Ce n'est pas un random qui va te chop un sample de cette manière.

@riyazmd774 Breaking 🚨: Don’t replace your iPhone when the battery starts draining. Replace your battery.

BREAKING 🚨: Don’t replace your iPhone when the battery starts draining. BREAKING 🚨: Don’t replace your iPhone when the battery starts draining. BREAKING 🚨: Don’t replace your iPhone when the battery starts draining. Apple won’t say this out loud… But your settings are draining your battery faster than they should. I tested this myself. Same iPhone. Same usage. Battery jumped from 6 hours → 10 hours just by fixing a few settings. No new phone. No paid apps. No tricks. Here’s exactly what I changed 👇

@guidorosso @rive_app Love the c++ runtime, buttery smooth so far.

@songgpt This is all we need to rip out any remaining soul from humanity.

Turn simple text prompts into complete songs, vocals included, in just a few clicks.

@elonmusk unless you omitted something, @grok, can’t increase your refund amount out of thin air.

Grok can help with your taxes

@bcherny now they can lower their subscription price right?

Love seeing how Spotify is shipping with Claude Code. Their best developers haven't written a single line of code since December, they fix bugs from their phones, and they shipped 50+ features from Slack during morning commutes techcrunch.com/2026/02/12/spo…

What LLMs lack in skill, they make up for in enthusiasm.

complacency breeds contempt.

@big_duca Those 10,000+ hours now give you a massive edge.

I am not sure if other developers feel like this. But I feel kinda depressed. Like everyone else, I have been using Claude code (for a while, it’s not a recent thing lol). And it’s incredible. I have never found coding more fun. The stuff you can do and the speed you can do it at now. Is absolutely insane. And I’m using it to ship a lot. And solve customer problems faster. So all around it’s a win. But at the same time. The skill I spent 10,000s of hours getting good at. Programming. The thing I spent most of my life getting good at. Is becoming a full commodity extremely quickly. As much fun as it is. And as much as I like using the tools. There’s something disheartening about the thing you spent most of your life getting good at. Now being mostly useless.

@Yuchenj_UW @_arohan_ Ai doesn’t “turn junior engineers into senior engineers” - Ai turns junior engineers into junior engineers using Ai.

ex-Google and Meta distinguished engineer, Gemini co-author @_arohan_: “if I had agentic coding and particularly opus, I would have saved myself first 6 years of my work compressed into few months.” This matches my experience. AI collapses the learning curve, and turns junior engineers into senior engineers dramatically fast. New-hire onboarding on large codebases shrinks from months to days. What used to take hours of Googling and Stack Overflow is now a single prompt. AI is also a good mentor and pair programmer. Agency is all you need now.
