Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it's within your control, go do something about it. If it's not, you're just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.

LATEST🚨: Constant complaining can train your brain to notice more negativity.

The most manipulative but effective thing I’ve ever done in my life was when I read an article about how children moderate their behavior to protect their self-identity, so if a child believes he’s smart, for example, he’ll intentionally study and try to do well to protect his image of himself. Anyway, I would pull kids aside with behavioral issues at church and tell them, “David (obviously fake name), you’re such a kind person and such a good listener. I can see that in you. Thank you for always listening.” “Little Annie, thank you for taking such good care of the babies around you. You’re going to be such a good big sister. Can you be in charge of watching Sally?” They would ALWAYS behave afterward. ALWAYS. Worked like a charm. Morally questionable because it wasn’t initially true, but I kind of willed it into existence. Tbf, I did think that they had that in them or I wouldn’t have tried. Will publish longitudinal results of this method once my kid is old enough to report back.

My wife @gechife has a remarkable facility with words. Always finds the right vocabulary to express her thoughts. And I must confess, her wordplay is both charming and enjoyable. I’m a poor disputant in the crucible. Barely eloquent. Speech halting and fraught with incoherence. Too many ideas fill the head at the crucial moment overwhelming speech processing (Alas, the words get disjointed, and some are lost). Over the course of our long marriage, I have done my best to be an upstanding gentleman who avoids arguments; Her verbal dexterity overwhelmingly a key consideration, like a nuclear deterrent (Whilst laboring on my opening point, she’ll be framing a perfect closing). And so I come here vanquished, the casualty of many decisive defeats, owning my L and failing the Patriarchy, and embracing Prose, my fair mistress 🤣 🤣

it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself

Six years at AWS today. The last year especially has gone by incredibly fast. Being at the forefront of rapid innovation in generative AI has been wild. I’m grateful for the opportunity to do deep technical science work while staying grounded in real customer challenges.
Wálé Akínfadérìn@WaleAkinfaderin

One year at AWS today. Enjoyed the different technical challenges and the flexibility to innovate in unique ways while still being customer obsessed. Like we typically say, it’s still Day One! 🎉🎉😃

@DrJoeAbah @MrOlibaba Every token (technically units of words) extends the required computational power and memory to process your response. So adding unnecessary tokens like please, thank you etc. means more computation and increases cost

‼️Do not npm install or deploy anything right now Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep. Pin versions or wait until this is resolved
Maxwell Hammad@mvxvvll

@npmjs @GHSecurityLab there is an active supply chain attack on axios@1.14.1 which pulls in a malicious package published today - plain-crypto-js@4.2.1 - someone took over a maintainer account for Axios

Load testing always exposes performance bottlenecks, scaling issues, and the API's limitations, and how you can improve the efficiency of your API endpoints. 100% Recommend, Before going live, ALWAYS do a load test!
Akintola Steve@Akintola_steve

Please load test your API before going live. Load testing is just the ability of your system to handle expected and peak traffic by simulating real-world usage, helping you understand how it behaves under stress, where it breaks, and how it scales. These are 3 good load testing tools: k6 Apache JMeter Locust These would save you a whole bunch of production issues once your user base starts growing.

Crawling an entire website used to take: A Python script. Playwright or Selenium. Proxy rotation. Rate limiting logic. Error handling. 3 hours of debugging why page 47 returned a 403. Now it's one API call. Every web scraping startup that raised millions to solve this problem just became a single endpoint. Every freelancer charging $500 to "extract website data" just lost their entire business model to a /crawl command. HTML. Markdown. JSON. Pick your format. No scripts. No browser. No headache. The entire web scraping industry just got reduced to one line of code. Someone is going to use this to clone every competitor's website by Friday. 💀
Cloudflare Developers@CloudflareDev

Introducing the new /crawl endpoint - one API call and an entire site crawled. No scripts. No browser management. Just the content in HTML, Markdown, or JSON.

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it. More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions. Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare. One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path. As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything. We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win. We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users. This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

This does feel like the ground moving under our feet, because it is. What used to be a mostly closed system (code, specs, tests, deploy) now has a live, probabilistic co-processor bolted onto it, and we’re all learning how to think with it at the same time. No manual, no stable abstractions, just raw power and sharp edges. This new layer doesn’t reward memorization or even raw coding speed. It rewards systems thinking: how you decompose work, how you externalize intent, how you constrain and verify something that can hallucinate, and how you build feedback loops so the tool corrects itself faster than you do. The skill isn’t “using AI.” The skill is orchestrating uncertainty. That’s new, and nobody has tenure in it yet. The good news is that this is still engineering. The same instincts apply: isolate failure modes, make behavior observable, add guardrails, shrink blast radius, automate verification. Agents, prompts, memory, tools - they look alien, but they’re just another distributed system with weird consistency guarantees and noisy outputs. Once you see that, the fear turns into curiosity. The gap now is between people who compose these tools into workflows and people who use them ad hoc. The former compound. The latter stall. And that’s a learnable difference. So yes sleeves up. Not because you’re behind, but because this is one of those rare moments where the ceiling just got higher for everyone. The people who engage early won’t just write more code, they’ll redefine what writing code even means.
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

After 10+ years of massive highs and lows, its great to celebrate this milestone! @firefliesai is evolving from a silent notetaker to an active teammate who can speak, think and automate work from inside the meeting. More details: fireflies.ai/blog/talk-to-f…
Krish Ramineni@krishramineni

Fireflies has crossed the $1 billion valuation mark with our recent tender offer! We’ve done this while staying profitable, growing rapidly, and without raising primary capital since 2021. This milestone means a lot, not just because of the number, but because it allowed us to recognize the early team members who helped build Fireflies and placed their trust in us.
