I built this just for fun for a few friends but: 1. it's growing organically 2. people that installed and connected to a few friends use it every day 3. the #1 thing i hear from people is "I text my friends more now" which is perfect. Exactly what I hoped. Talk to your friends!

I built a tiny app last week. Pick 9 friends, take photos, they show up on each other’s home screens. I shared it on TestFlight and it ended up being pretty fun. It’s in the App Store now. It took Apple longer to review it than it took me to make it. getnine.app

Is it just me or has most of the software we use day to day just gotten extremely... buggy... over the last few months? 😬

So Nine just keeps growing. Interesting... 🤔 If you haven't tried it yet you should check it out. I do think this is the shape of the future of social: private, personal, exclusive, no feed. Just connection. apps.apple.com/us/app/nine-fr…

freia@freialobo·1d

im glad we have better tech for events now but i do miss the pure chaos of being added to a 15 person group chat where you don't have half the numbers. might bring it back

I think we should rank them and add an upvote/downvote button and comments. Will be my first PR.

We don’t talk enough about the fact that it became super common for teenagers to be driving motorcycles every day and they are getting into bad accidents at a scary rate.

This looks rad. A couple of thoughts: - All of design can’t be replaced by a single workflow which is why I’m skeptical of “Claude code is my ai platform” approach - code-based design tools are too constrained for early exploration (also too web focused) - image-based design tools are too constrained for precise designing - we need both and the best tools will help bridge between them

AI is supposed to save me time, but now I find myself building stuff all evening and weekend and it's actually increasing my time in front of the computer WTF

We’re in the “early adopters that are bad at design just got access to canva” step of AI product design adoption. It’s all gonna look real cringe in 6 months.

English

Luke Millar@ltm·2d

Great comes with originality. It’s why template-based design apps feel stale after a while. “That looks like a web flow site” or “that looks like a canva flyer”. Those designs looked relatively great when they were new. It’s the same with AI generated anything. They look great, but they then become common, then recognizable, then boring, then cringe (emdash anyone?). If you want to make something truly great, it also has to be original.

This just reads like “it wasn’t my idea, I just help execute the decision”

DNI Tulsi Gabbard@DNIGabbard

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions. After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

I will often tell Claude “the right solution here may actually be less code, not more. Look for ways to simplify to have a better structural foundation before just handling more new cases.” It works sometimes.

Mateus Guimarães@mateusjatenee

I feel like LLMs just have an insanely hard time taking a step back and going "well, maybe this is designed incorrectly for the current requirements". It just keeps adding slop on top of slop and it *might all kinda work* but accidental complexity goes brr

@karrisaarinen @thdxr What I’ve seen is that people are now idea-constrained, not implementation-constrained and they don’t know what to do next on the main quest. Side quests feel good because everyone has a million half-baked ideas that they could work on.

Karri Saarinen@karrisaarinen·10 Mar

yeah it is but everything in moderation. Internally we always talked about main quest and side quests. Everyone should focus on the main quest, and moderately or not all on side quests. Both quest lines feel productive but only one of them advances the main mission of the company.

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

Had a convo today with someone where we talked about the mythical agent-month. Some projects just can’t be sped up by more parallel agents. Some can. Just like staffing has always been.

Hate to be that guy, but how is this better? It looks super cool but this isn’t more usable, is it? We’ll graduate from chat based input, not add clever interactions to chat. Look at the prompt, this is not the ideal interface to create that experience.

We’re now inventing syntax for agents. What if we created a handful of functions and conditionals that agents knew how to run exactly and we could verify that everything you prompted them fit this agent language syntax?

Austen Allred@Austen

Markdown is effectively code, I can agree with that. But let me save you all a billion hours of frustration: If you want something that an agent MUST follow every time, the closer you can get to structured or (ideally) executable the better.

My hot take is that everyone is so geared up by the fact that they can build software instantly and for free but they don’t have ideas on what to build so they build task managers for their companies. It’s the business equivalent of an indie dev building a to do list app.

Adi Polak@AdiPolak

I keep wondering how many teams are racing to build custom JIRA, custom Workday, and custom CRM replacements, only to eventually ask: “When did we become an internal software company?”
