@mattshumer_ there is a kossars. it low key does slap

There are no good bagels on the UWS. If someone opens a solid shop, they’re gonna make a killing.

@pbakaus I use critique a lot. I also do craft and critique back to back several times to lol.

What are your favorite Impeccable commands? And if you had three wishes for Impeccable / AI design, what would they be?

@can ridiculous, everyone knows it's blue light

10/10 rage bait no notes

@Ali_Shobeiri Hope you are re-investing those dividends

no better feeling than when your investments finally start paying off

@zeeg What your definition of large?

Anyone who has large amounts of money to spend on tokens wanna guinea pig some new (Super)Warden stuff Doesnt have to be security - just needs to be something that you would classify as "this is bad and needs changed" in your code.

@rauchg @v0 @vercel @github where do I sign up for the beta?

Asked @v0 what it would look like if @vercel shipped @github 😁 (2 prompts)

@rohindhar I grew up two blocks away. I remember my family paying 4k in rent at the time. 2M at 20% down is like 12k a month

San Francisco home sale in the sunset district at $800k over asking price

@zeeg Just gotta master the milk texture. Once you get it, it makes the rest much easier.

first attempt at a Cortado today and 💀

@gabriel1 Agreed, been playing a few games of Halo Wars a week for several years now. Full on mind workout

some amount of gaming seems healthy, it's extremely high focus activity with a lot of new ways to stimulate the brain

@signulll Also, they give out those bedrock credits like candy on halloween

ppl underestimate how big of a deal it is that openai models are now on bedrock. i’ve met so many co’s that defaulted to anthropic & claude because they were already on bedrock, & for a long time that was basically the path of least resistance. this is huge for openai model accessibility.

@jacksdiningroom Kati thai on 37th is amazing

Kinda feels like all lunch options in NYC are just slop bowls and it’s kinda sad. I feel like we’re ready to move past the bowl era. Who has some fire lunch spots?

@handotdev Prob should use .map anyway

Lmao I was so confused. just happened to us.

@raunofreiberg Code sample?

Designers don't want you to know this one trick

@RhysSullivan Thank god, now just need nba.com to add it so I don't blind myself seeing if the knicks won before going to bed

how am i just learning that npm has a dark mode

@DanielLockyer Already done 😎

Please can everyone implement this 🙏🏻

Small details like this make such a difference. Shows you care about the product you are building.

@forgebitz And code review bots. I feel it changes every 3 months or so

remember when everyone was making a browser wild times

@dharmesh The types act as a great guardrail for coding agents as well. Hard to fully trust AI written code at all without strong type safety imo

I'm going to say something shocking and borderline heretical (for me). I'm thinking about switching from Python to TypeScript for my next project. I've been using Python for *decades* as my primary programming language. There are so many things I love about the language: 1) Python is a joy to develop in. 2) Great libraries for everything I need to do. 3) It seems to be lingua franca of AI. It's what LLMs use when they need to generate code to solve a problem. It's usually the first language to get an SDK/library from the frontier model companies (and others in the space). It's what many AI-oriented open source projects are built-in. So, why am I considering TypeScript? A few reasons: 1) There's elegance and value in having both my front-end code and back-end code in the same language. 2) TypeScript is natively type-safe. 3) When distributing applications to others (particularly CLI tools), it's much more common/simple to do with a Node app then try to build binaries in Python (using something like pyinstall). 4) TypeScript is a close second when it comes to being popular in the AI community. 5) There are packages for most of the common things I need (web framework, database access, web/http calls, etc.). 6) There is first-class support from Vercel for deploying TypeScript apps. I'm both an investor in Vercel and a customer but have mostly used it for front-end deploys, not backend. And, what once was the biggest reason NOT to use TypeScript is no longer true: The fact that I don't know TypeScript and didn't want to spend hundreds of hours becoming an expert at it. Now with agentic coding, I don't need deep knowledge of the language in order to be productive. With my knowledge of Python, C++ and other prior languages, I can likely get by pretty well in TypeScript with the help of Codex and Claude Code. Haven't made the decision to switch over completely yet, but next time I have a small, contained project I need to work on, I'm considering trying TypeScript. What do you think? Am I overthinking it or underthinking it?

@staysaasy This was my hack in big tech. Customers were other orgs in the company. Much easier to get to them. Grab coffee, build POCs on their code bases, ask what's on their roadmap. Bypass all bureaucracy when you need something + they are 100000x likely to adopt your tools

My number one piece of advice to engineers in 2026 is to talk to customers. At any company size, if you’re an engineer, you are missing out on massive wins if you’re not talking to customers. You miss out on: * Information from what they want * Networking and relationship building * Empathy and urgency from understanding their challenges * The authority that comes with knowing customers On the last bullet - especially in big companies you’d be shocked at how powerful you are if you can say “customers I spoke with want X” with conviction.
