@kapilansh_twt Most env vars are not really secrets just values ppl need to override depending on their local use case.
I commit an .env.copy and on setup ‘cp .envcopy .env.local’
For anything secret they pull their own tokens/keys Or 1Password or AWS secret mansger for shared stuff

@simonw No human would consistently write titles like that. I work with Claude and Codex all day, so it's a constant bombardment of this stuff. I am starting to lose my shit every time Claude uses the word "shape," or pronounces something to be "the smoking gun."

Holy Christ, the interrogative titles, "Why this is important," "What this shows," "Why this is correct."
The stench is just so overwhelming. Even when you tell them not to do it, they can't fucking help themselves.

Asking for HTML explanations of things is pretty neat, I tried it just now with the obfuscated Python POC for the new copy.fail Linux vulnerability: #trying-this-out" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">simonwillison.net/2026/May/8/unr…

@CodeEdison Try one each month. Start in that order. Skip the last three

@AishwaryaDevv It already does. Know I’m working on it getting good at all the other parts of my job. So I’m busier than ever.

@svpino I invested in a better setup (cmux, portless, internal cli) and a harness to try to parallelize more. I can still only do 4 active sessions at most and I still struggle. That said the setup still helps to easily context switch for smaller tasks (eg feedback on last weeks work)

@GustavS @chrisoshea @danielcberk @Spotify CarPlay, Siri and Alexa support would be great as well.
School drop off is kids song, after drop off I’m back to my music. Can’t be clicking around through deep settings at that time.

Spotify needs to release a “kids” setting so I can play all the songs my kids listen to without it affecting my own Discovery algorithm.
Insane that I can’t do this already.
My Discover Weekly is just nursery songs and Moana.
@Spotify please fix this.

@xnt @QuestsAbroad clabex.mx has decent traction and it doesn’t depend on network effects. But I’m biased

The SPEI system is fantastic, but CLABE in particular can be a little bit cumbersome to use for some people. They tend to share the debit card number instead, which works, although it lacks the verifying digit that CLABE has and the transfer itself takes a little bit longer.
There have been efforts to implement mobile phone-driven deposits and transfers. For example, you give someone your mobile phone number and it is automatically tied to your account. However, these haven't gained widespread popularity. There have also been efforts to use QR codes instead, but they aren't gaining popularity either.
Those systems are:
1. CoDi
2. DiMo
You probably want to take a look at them. But yeah, Mexico is years ahead when it comes to that. Interac in Canada gets close, but it isn't anywhere as good as SPEI, in my opinion.
Glad that you're liking it!

I remember when Venmo was introduced in the US. It was revolutionary for me and my friends. Paying people back became so easy.
Fast forward and now I'm living in Mexico where third party apps are not even needed to split a bill.
Bank to bank transfers happen instantly. All you need is the CLABE, regardless of the bank, and the money arrives before you even lock your screen.

@QuestsAbroad And that was a thing even pre-Venmo. While PayPal was beaming money on palm pilots, we already had CLABE.
