when software had a soul there was a moment around 2005 when using a Mac felt like touching something alive. the dock bounced. the genie effect swooped. exposé scattered your windows like cards on a table. none of it was strictly necessary. all of it felt like someone cared – not about metrics, but about the feeling of using a machine. software back then had texture. it had a philosophy. you could feel the person behind it. someone made a decision to make that icon beautiful, to animate that transition just so, to write that error message with a little warmth. apps had personalities. some were weird. some were over-designed in ways that would make a modern PM flinch. but they were alive. the web was the same. personal sites were genuinely personal. blogs felt like letters. forums had regulars. you knew who made what. the internet had neighborhoods, and each one felt different. nothing was optimized for scale. things were made by people who loved what they were making. somewhere along the way, we traded all of that for growth. A/B tests flattened the edges. design systems standardized the personality out. everything got faster, smoother, more consistent – and somehow less interesting. the quirks were removed because they didn't test well. the warmth got cut because it wasn't measurable. we optimized our way into a world of things that work perfectly and feel like nothing. now every app looks the same. every interface follows the same patterns. every product speaks in the same calm, frictionless voice, siloed in their own little islands. the humanity got rounded off. and then came AI agents. and the speed got inhuman. now you can generate an entire product in an afternoon. ship a feature before lunch. spin up ten variations before anyone's had their coffee. the gap from idea to code is basically zero. which sounds incredible. and it is. but there's a catch. when making things are too easy, the slop comes for free too. mediocre things don't look obviously bad – they look fine. they work. they ship. they pass review. and now there are infinite of them. the internet is filling up with software that functions but means nothing. interfaces that are correct but feel dead. products made by agents, reviewed by no one, shipped into the void. this is the thing that keeps me up at night. not that AI will replace people who care. but that it will drown them out. here's what I still believe: the best things are made by people who couldn't help themselves. someone who lost sleep over an icon. who rewrote the same line of copy twelve times. who added an animation nobody asked for because it made the thing feel right. that obsession – that's not inefficiency. that's the whole point. AI doesn't make that irrelevant. it actually makes it rarer and more valuable. taste is not a markdown skill. caring is not a parameter. the weird, specific, "soul" thing you put into something – that can't be programmed into existence. the path forward isn't to make more slop faster. it's to finally give people with real vision the tools to make the thing they always imagined but couldn't build alone. the designer who had the idea but couldn't code. the kid who saw something nobody else saw. the person who cared too much about something most people wouldn't notice. if we get this right, we don't get a faster factory. we get a renaissance. more strange, personal, opinionated software made by teams of people who care and mean it. that's still possible. but only if the people who care get the space and tools to actually express themselves – and don't just hand the wheel to the agent and walk away.

man the responses to the new claude max limits are crazy everyones expectations are so out of whack it's kind of embarrassing to get this mad, i'd just be like damn ok i'll cancel were you guys depending on this shit to keep your grandma alive i don't get it

There’s a new kind of burnout now. Not from working too much. From trying to keep up with tools, models, frameworks, launches, and 600 people saying “it’s over” every morning.

sent this to the team today everything great comes from being able to delay gratification for as long as possible and it feels like we're collectively losing our ability to do that

J'ai lâché twitter aujourd'hui, je reviens dessus à 20h30 et je vois une codex security, claude marketplace et shadcn cli/v4. Peut-être que je pleure sur le poulet on sait pas

les gens qui s'énervent 1er deg sur un tweet qui n'attaque personne ou juste ne fait rien de mal il faudrait peut-être que vous sortiez prendre l'air

Watching Americans post about “WW3” when they have zero risk of death while I live in the middle east and could get wiped off the face of the earth tonight

The difference is by design.

@SxSad11 les 20O qui se connectent jamais il faut leur demander pourquoi, faut communiquer avec l'utilisateur pour mieux comprendre ces besoins

La bêta, je vais la faire hyper petite. Je préfère 10 traders qui vont vraiment l'utiliser que 200 qui ne se connectent jamais.

just WOW!!! I am at a loss for words 🤯 open ai changed *EVERYTHING* ... again!!!1 RIP anthropic 🪦

Agentic Engineering > Vibe Coding Let’s be professionals

@YGKere Je crois que t'as réveillé tous les fascistes dans les commentaires, c'est triste à voir.

Excusez ma naïveté, mais je ne pensais pas voir un jour 4-5 vidéos de l'exécution d'un infirmier américain en plein Minneapolis, en plein jour, devant d'innombrables témoins, par une milice d'Etat coupable notamment déjà d'avoir fusillée une maman. Mais ça doit être ça 2026.

@cpasdeslol_X "je fais ce que je veux, je te palpe si je veux" ??? On est où là ?

🚨 La scène se déroule après la victoire du Maroc face au Nigeria à la CAN. Sur les Champs-Élysées, en pleine célébration, de nombreux véhicules klaxonnent.Un homme en deux-roues est contrôlé par les policiers et reçoit une contravention pour usage du klaxon, malgré le contexte de liesse générale.

@Console_buche @Neolectron ça ressemble plus à des skills que tu veux du coup ? ça me fait penser que vercel à sorti ça aujourd'hui : github.com/vercel-labs/ag…

@Neolectron Ok ouais, je pense plus au coding style / practices que tu veux enforce via un instructions.md t'sais? Du genre, codebase react: utilise Query pour gerer tout call d'endpoint et le server state...

Yo! Je cherche des ressources sur comment structurer au mieux un bon .md d'instructions pour mes repos. Surtout pas des templates. Plutôt des retours / tests sur ce qui fait vraiment la diff et ce qui sux (trop nitpicky, trop obvious, ce qui mange du token et que le LLM ignore).

@ersadwork @alignui the timing is perfect, this will be available mid january ?

AI Template, development is almost ready ✨ w / @alignui

@simciub @JanaSunrise You know orpc is compatible with OpenAPI right ?

@JanaSunrise orpc sucks, cuz u make api only for your frontend. And if u want to make app later, u have to deal with problem such as rewriting your api 😂

fucking orpc and stupid api why did i think this is a good fucking idea because i get type safety on frontend this makes me wanna rage quit like why the fuck does this exist?

@hesselbom just curious to see how it's coded

@drixares No plans for that, Drix! Any reason why you'd want that?

LemonSqueezy rejected my note taking web app so I'm releasing it for free. End to end encrypted offline markdown notes. Everything encrypted with a vault key that never leaves your device, no one else can read it, not even me. I use it all the time, even with sensitive data.

@evilrabbit_ perfectly done

Do you know what's better than "perfect"?

@hesselbom Will it become open source?

You can try it out at rhinoleaf.app (hmm, have I added an og:image yet)
