@mxcl @TheMattViera you okay, dude?

@TheMattViera fucking retard

Not having kids is a life hack. I spend my summers in Europe, take cross-country road trips, and disappear off-grid on weekends. The money I’d spend on kids goes to investing, experiences, and freedom. Different priorities. Different definition of rich.

@RealGeneKim hey gene, how much of the book is diagrams/illustrations? trying to figure if i can listen to the audiobook or if i have to force my broken brain to focus on long-form text. thanks!

We've hit a tipping point: you can now build a tool from scratch faster than Googling to see if a tool already exists. I was so frustrated with LinkedIn UI. All I wanted to do was to find everyone I met in NYC last month. So I asked Claude Code to build me a Chrome extension to export my newest 500 connections in JSON, and build some sort of external viewer. Less than 10 minutes later, I was stunned that I had a working Chrome extension, and an Electron app that navigated and searched the contacts — next, I created keyboard accelerators that copied info to my clipboard, opened up their profile page, etc. I found almost everyone I needed to, and was able to contact them. I saw many of them at an online event I ran yesterday! Amazing! I am blown away. I've never written a Chrome extension before, and I've always been too scared to write an Electron app. Lesson: You can write apps so easily these days. All the time you spend fretting about scariness of a tech stack is better spent just trying to build it. Someone quipped: it's the age of "write once, run once." i.e., you can build apps so quickly, it's worth it, even if you use it only once! It's so true: start vibe coding the tools you need now!! (The Vibe Coding book that I wrote with @steve_yegge shows you how — it's easier than ever!)

@ParissAthena i’m trying to have a midnight snack, you narc

@ParissAthena we moved to a new house and the fridge whistles when you open it and it feels borderline inappropriate

@thegentledyke @nhuntwalker but surely wages have increased to compensahahahaha 🫠

the apartment my mom had in atlanta as a single mother and cna went from $850 to $2500 😭😭😭 no renovations

@bcardarella are you using this for ✌🏼actual work✌🏼? i did some programming with a buddy’s xreal pro glasses yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at how crisp and not hurty text was to look at. i could totally see myself drinking this koolaid.

There is some bug in the Vision Pro with Macbook virtualization that after about an hour the render performance starts to drag and really slow down. Disconnecting/reconnecting fixes for now. Hopefully fixed soon.

@alexstran literal samsies

Hey squad - is anyone still on this? Trying to decide if I should come back after many months away. Me with some camellias doing construction work instead of being on Twitter 🌸

is this a fucking game to you?

@coryodaniel lucky if i even see that there are directions

based

@kenwheeler i don’t think that’s entirely fair but i can certainly agree that he’s trash tier and we can absolutely do better

@marcdel The point I’m making is that Biden is clearly bad for the economy. Maybe we should elect someone from a different sector or 40 years younger or some shit

@kenwheeler agreed, but the point it sounds like you’re making is “trump was just as good for the economy” which is p hilarious. if that’s not what you’re saying, i apologize, but you ain’t makin it easy to understand

@marcdel I think most people just want to be able to afford to live my dude

@kenwheeler extremely cool take after the humanitarian crisis of a president we just had

@marcdel I honestly don’t care about anything other than the power of the dollar. Literally anything. Until that’s fixed, I can’t be bothered

@kenwheeler my b i forgot he was the hero of the working man

@marcdel Can you pay for groceries with righteous indignation

@martyrdison my b, was trying to “yes, and” not take away from your joke 🫶

@marcdel yes that was the goal

the fact this was allowed in the house was insane

@engineering_bae @randomrecruiter that can get awkward quick though, so you have to really read the room

@engineering_bae @randomrecruiter 🤞🏼but probably 90% of the time i ask (the recruiter) for feedback i get some variation of no. i’ve had better luck asking the interviewer to do a quick plus/delta—what went well, what should i do differently next time, what reservations do they have, etc.

@ashleymcnamara “well that’s cute as helooh my god it’s gigantic”

What dumb shit did I 3D print this week? I'd love to show you.
