Day something of unemployment:
I got an offer! So incredibly grateful.
And they are giving me an education and conference budget.

@Aaronontheweb lol I have been writing a book since ChatGPT came out too. I’m only like 5% done

I very much liked the charts provided by NBER's working paper on the impact LLMs have had on books sold through Amazon's Kindle store.
A huge surge in new title submissions that corresponds exactly with the release dates of ChatGPT

New blog post: "Escaping the LLM Coding Rat Race"
There's only one winner in the AI coding rat race: your inference provider.
There is no permanent underclass. There is no
"falling behind."
It's brilliant marketing and it's ruining our lives.

I’ve seen a website that showed basic Font metrics go viral on here. A production-grade shaping engine that beats AA gets largely ignored. I’ll never understand this platform.
James Jackson-South@James_M_South
A huge step for @SixLabors Fonts: our managed text-shaping engine is now a public, allocation-free API. Shape once, then measure or render positioned glyphs directly. On .NET 10, it’s within 12% of HarfBuzz or faster in 7/10 scripts. github.com/SixLabors/Font… #dotnet #oss

@DanielW_Kiwi I know there are different parts of the world but still blows my mind how different the weather is at the same time in two places

@ChrisJBakke @JensenHuang @nvidia @nikitabier you can funnel them to my account for this one, I got confirmation

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

@AdamRackis Says a guy who makes money on teaching people to write code 👨🏻💻
English
The dude is retired lmfao.
The code he writes is for fun, as an influencer. Nobody will notice or care if it breaks. Uncle Bob has no skin in the game. Please don’t take what he does as advice for what you do at work
Nick Dobos@NickADobos
Uncle bob doesn’t read code. The 73 year old, author of one of the most popular coding books ever, Clean Code, doesn’t read code from agents This is the way to code now. Testing, curating & verifying is the most important part You’re not behind an old boomer in adopting ai right?

@fjzeit @rick01 @codemullins I my experience the attitude comes from a fear of the unknown and fear of becoming obsolete. And my response is usually "well go fucking learn it then".
English
this is such a bullshit take. "some old shops still use IIS and Framework 4.* so all .NET devs must be like this".
i see plenty of bullshit from users of other languages and platforms but it would be foolhardy of me to go piss on an entire ecosystem because of them.
every .NET shop i've worked at over the past decade has been using containers and shipping on Linux. and frankly 95% of the .NET devs i've worked with would shit on 95% of the people who flex on here.
Cody Mullins@codemullins
For everyone insisting “no they don’t say that” and “I’m making this up” this is just the latest that I’ve heard this from a .NET developer

Any other contenders?? I already have a runner-up, I'll choose one on Sunday!

I’ll give $50 to someone with the best and most original mascot/icon for Little Lawnbot

Unfortunately, I was donating to Codeberg but I just cancelled my membership for the next round. Gating Open Source on AI usage detection is not something that I can support, considering that now, all my OSS projects are updated or created with the help of AI coding agents.
Armin Ronacher ⇌@mitsuhiko
I think this is a very bad move, and the people behind Codeberg should re-consider there stance. blog.codeberg.org/protecting-our…

@paulpitchford I like the fact I can use the MCP tools for iOS and have it drive and create a feedback loop. I haven't tested on Android yet but it's all the same project.
English
@codemullins Looks great Cody. I’m going to add mobile support to something I’ve been working on recently. Is Uno the way to go for both iOS and Android?
English
This is Little Lawnbot! Built with Uno, using their MCP with coding agents. Definitely not one shot.
I built this for my business Little Lawns and will be releasing it soon to the App Store.
It’s local first, synchronizes with a server, and am now testing integrating this with ChatGPT and Claude so I can just chat with my app or look at it in a more structured way.
English
@YodasMyDad yes, there is a package for testing Uno UIs
I used claude primarily and Rider, but Rider is mostly used for code review
English
@codemullins This looks excellent! Did you use VS Code? Also what about any automated testing? Can you easily do that with Uno?

@csharpfritz I’m saying containers are not shiny new tech
But yes IIS is bad for new projects
English
@codemullins So you’re saying that IIS and reliable durable technology isn’t cool?
English
For everyone insisting “no they don’t say that” and “I’m making this up” this is just the latest that I’ve heard this from a .NET developer
Cody Mullins@codemullins
.NET devs: “Why doesn’t anyone build anything cool with .NET?” and “Why does everyone think .NET is old?” Also .NET devs: “Containers are too new and shiny.”
English
@fjzeit @gregrthenson indeed. but I'd argue if you're starting a new project in 2026 using IIS you're making a huge mistake unless you're working for a bank or something where you likely have no choice
most companies are not banks
