@dhh we have to mute 80% of the planet to have peace

There's never any appeasement possible with these lunatics. Whatever concession or apology you offer, there's always another round of demands coming. The sooner you learn to say no to these people the better.

@theo Koog is a way, to do this jetbrains.com/koog/

Agent harnesses aren't the black magic many of y'all seem to think they are. To prove it, I built one.

@pjlbrunelle @PlanetScale if only it was not only Python

@idiomaticdev @PlanetScale You might like: github.com/pixeltable/pix…

Postgres wasn't designed as a job queue, but many apps use it as one right alongside analytics, OLTP, and everything else. Our latest blog goes deep on what to be aware of when doing this and how the situation has improved for Postgres over time.

@simonhamp I never leave Kotlin, unless dragged out

Hmmm 🤔 great question Why aren't we all cooking in Swift and Kotlin and C and Assembly?

@WilliamShatner people rewrite history so they can complain

🙄 No, Star Trek was about society’s social issues of the 1960’s. Those issues over the years may have become political issues but with the network censors: they never would have allowed political issue storylines to air. It’s sad to see how uninformed some are about the past.

@grok @JerpaDerpa @nauticus_b @dhh good, needed at this time.

What an invigorating transformation of a nation. The perfect white pill to all this managed-decline nonsense. You really can just do things! Would love to visit El Salvador soon (and Argentina too!).

@fjzeit shame, need to try it in context

@idiomaticdev good question. usually absent. for example: when living in the UK shepherd’s pie was a winter staple. when living in Australia we don’t even make it.

British food is amazing when it’s actually made right and consumed in a British (or equivalent) climate. nothing quite like filling a warm house with the smell of shepherd’s pie on a wintry evening.

@000geid @dhh you made an odd jump from what he said to what you said. Something miswired in your brain maybe. not in my bingo card are 90% of the world becoming lemmings and having their opinions assigned to them in contrary to actual evidence and realism being the opposite.

@dhh not the creator of ruby on rails being a white supremacist damn... definitely not on my 2026 bingo list

@diegobolo5 @dhh how's your view from Uruguay of El Salvador?

@dhh Shit, I like omarchy but this scumbag can't be so retarded.

@JerpaDerpa @nauticus_b @dhh their false arrest rate (with releases) is lower than the US and UK rate. And yes, they have trials.

@nauticus_b @dhh People get SENTENCED to prison time here. They have trials, there's a judge, they are provided with attorneys to help their case, etc.

@fiatstandard @dhh he fixed the "no one has a future in the country" part, guess that isn't enough?

@dhh Careful, Bukele has doubled the public debt. The deficits are still on the rise. it's not a case of better budgeting by eliminating waste, leaks and inefficiencies. But by indebting everyone. How much he saved from fixing up their government is not even transparent to AIs

@FPupusas @dhh yet it isn't what you say it is. Not sure how you built this fake view of El Salvador under Bukele.

@dhh I didn't take you for a communist sympathizer @dhh. For all the BS you talk about politics on social media, it's hilarious watching you fall for commie propaganda meant to whitewash the centrally planned authoritarian regime Bukele has created with his policies.

@dhh I was just in El Salvador in January, with my prior visit being in 2010 during the "not so good" years. Wonderful transition, very happy people thinking their kids now have a future...

@mitchellh you lost me at using "north star" Also it is very North Elitist thing to say.

Here’s what I’d do if I was in charge of GitHub, in order: 1. Establish a North Star plan around being critical infrastructure for agentic code lifecycles and determine a set of ways to measure that. 2. Fire everyone who works on or advocates for copilot and shut it down. It’s not about the people, Im sure theres many talented people, youre just working at the wrong company. 3. Buy Pierre and launch agentic repo hosting as the first agentic product. Repos would be separate from the legacy web product to start since they’re likely burdened with legacy cross product interactions. 4. Re-evaluate all product lines and initiatives against the new North Star. I suspect 50% get cut (to make room for different ones). The big idea is all agentic interactions should critically rely on GitHub APIs. Code review should be agentic but the labs should be building that into GH (not bolted in through GHA like today, real first class platform primitives). GH should absolutely launch an agent chat primitive, agent mailboxes are obviously good. Etc. GH should be a platform and not an agent itself. This is going to be very obviously lacking since I only have external ideas to work off of and have no idea how GitHub internals are working, what their KPIs are or what North Star they define, etc. But, with imperfect information, this is what I’d do.

@JLarky 80% of all developers cannot code their way out of a wet paper bag. another 16% are mid. That leaves all the other reasonable tiers stacked into 4%

Still hold up in 2026 to be honest

@captainsafia maybe they were just expressing themselves until you shat on that expression

I say this with respect to Boris, but stuff like this just doesn’t fucking matter anymore. And it’s a bummer that we haven’t gotten ideas on better signals for output from the figureheads in the industry.

@pashtet_qa @getsome_air @jetbrains can the accuracy of my guess help it not lag and crash so often?

@idiomaticdev @getsome_air @jetbrains wrong guess, it is not an electron app 😉

I love @jetbrains AIR, other than it lagging, slow down, lockups, and freezing completely. Fix it, and I'm all in!
