Josh (🦀/acc)

reintro for new followers i’m josh career switcher w 3yoe no degree, no uni now working in ai + rust as a devrel engineer and technical leader writing a book on wasm i build and write about: • ai infra • rust systems • devrel that actually ships • open source

chat, is this a good time to say my fiancee and I finally have a wedding date? so fucking stoked

@perplexity_ai how are you guys dealing with data privacy?

Perplexity Computer now connects to your health apps, wearable devices, lab results, and medical records. Build personalized tools and applications with your health data, or track everything in your health dashboard.

@alexisbouchezfr Gigaseer, obviously

hey chat! i need to find another name for (hyper)seer, since it's taken by Big Sentry how should i name it??

@ZoeCatherineF Noooo 😭 you got this!

@joshmo_dev 10:15pm :(

Sorry the Londonmaxxing lore is a total lie get me back to Europe asap.

@jessfraz hell yeah

Huge congrats! Rust nerds uniting

@_mchenco beeg language model

today

i'll be around in london on the 7th and the 8th if you wanna get some coffee in person, hmu 🥹

@darrenjr Interesting that anthropic is buying into zig and openai is buying into rust

anthropic buys bun openai buys uv

@threepointone @supabase @kiwicopple Gentle reminder to check what integrations are installed on the account too. Cal still has that nasty oauth hijacking thing

hey @supabase @kiwicopple I think Tyler's account's been compromised

The open source thing itself doesn't usually generate the revenue. The company itself usually has some kind of business model or if they've established themselves as a leader in the space they may do consulting as a result of that. Or special support packages if the library is so important that any updates required by the company are critical. Theres also donations, but those are usually highly unreliable

How these open source projects generate revenue?

@lfschiavo so... where can we buy the hoodie?

My “I don’t have LLM psychosis" hoodie has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my hoodie.

@marlene_zw @aiDotEngineer @github signed up 👀

If you’re in London or will be here for @aiDotEngineer and want to meet other builders, maintainers or founders in AI and OSS we’re hosting a @github Social Club event on April 7th 🇬🇧☀️ Lots of hubbers will be around including me! We’d love to see you there 😎❤️ Will link below

rig v0.33 has been released! - new McpClientHandler to make it easier to use MCP servers - you can now use system messages directly rather than only thru preamble - additional helpful tracing telemetry check it out: github.com/0xPlaygrounds/…

MiniMax M2.7 is now live in Venice (both API and web) Potentially the best cost/performance model for your @openclaw

@badlogicgames @ClementDelangue I've accepted one or two of their PRs because the agent docs I've put in place seem to have done a good enough job that they at least write a plausibly decent, if unnecessary, PR. The newest one(s) are pretty useless though, so...

@ClementDelangue Banned this GH user 2 days ago, same thing on our repos. The Claw keeps on giving ...

Our biggest open-source repos are getting overwhelmed by AI slop which literally makes Github unusable (~a new pull request every 3 minutes). Fun new challenges in an agentic world!

@davesnx hahahaha

@joshmo_dev hahah its a copy pasta but adding haskell and co

Every Haskell project is just an identity choice. Nobody cares about the code. The "written-in-haskell" IS the product. Nobody picks OCaml for a web app because they ran the benchmarks. They pick it because they want to be the type of person who writes OCaml for a web app. The language choice is proof of who they're becoming. A Haskell side project isn't software. It's a costume change. The dev wakes up Monday morning, and they're "a Haskeller" (or worse, a Functional programmer). Learning Gleam isn't a career move. It's permission to call yourself principled. A paid FP community is a membership card to a new identity they couldn't get into before. The languages printing the hardest right now all exploit this at the core: Haskell converts devotees 4-5x harder than generic "learn to code." Not because the language is more productive. Because the developer's identity is welded to the type system. Dropping Haskell means abandoning who they decided to be. The psychology won't let them. OCaml went from obscure academic niche to "actually we ship production with it" in a few years because it gave devs an identity framework. You're not learning algebraic effects. You're buying entry into a transformation arc where you're the protagonist. Gleam, Elixir, Rust — they all charge 3-5x more cognitive investment than Python for identical output. Because writing Gleam isn't a language decision. It's a statement about what kind of engineer you are. The deeper play nobody's running yet: most FP languages are selling TO an existing identity. "You're a Haskeller, here's a monad tutorial." That's level one. Level two is CREATING the identity and then selling everything inside it. You don't teach a language. You create an archetype — "we're the engineers who refuse to ship runtime errors" — build an entire worldview around it, and then everything from the blog post to the $5,000 conference ticket is just gear for playing that character. Every religion understood this. Every luxury brand understands this. Every political movement understands this. The software industry is still writing PHP and TypeScript like it's 2014. The languages with the lowest churn rates on earth are the ones where switching means killing a version of yourself. Build that and you never have to "recruit" again. Something to think about.

The Vercel Chat SDK is now available! You can now build an AI agent once and ship it everywhere work happens: Slack, Teams, Discord, and more. Hear from Fernando Rojo, Head of Mobile at Vercel, and Matt Lewis, Senior Solutions Engineer.

@Zainmbrk love incident io! caught you guys last year at the AI Engine hackathon summer hack, was great talking to yall

the team at incident . io are londonmaxxing pretty hard some would say Pull up to: - Lovable x Vanta: Building secure software at scale - Claude Code Curious w/ Anthropic - AI Demo Night w/ PostHog - Fireside Chat: Matt Robinson - Fireside Chat: Guy Podjarny - AI Demo Night
