Instead of watching Netflix, watch this 1-hour Yale lecture by Professor Ben Polak. It will change how you think about decisions in negotiations, business, and everyday life.

Engineers and marketers are going to team up

@levelsio Do you have any SLA guarantees to respect? If yes I think claude's glitches meet them

This week I decided to just permanently switch to running Claude Code on the server mostly on bypass permissions mode: c() { IS_SANDBOX=1 claude --dangerously-skip-permissions "$@"; } And for the first time in my life I think I've actually managed to outrun my todo list What happened is I simply blasted through my to do list of features I had to build and bugs I had to fix I've never shipped so fast and Claude Code almost made no mistakes, and when it did it they were tiny that weren't fatal (important because I'm mostly working on the server in production now) Before I was always known to ship fast (also because I always work alone) but while I shipped new things would always build up on my features/bug board (my users can submit them there) But this is the first week where I've been fast enough to outrun them The board is actually empty! As other people have written on here the real bottleneck is becoming myself and my creativity, not how fast I can ship. Because I think I ship faster now than I can come up with new ideas, or maybe my brain will adjust to this new speed (probably) Also I feel another limit is becoming my own mental context window, as in how many things, features, bugs, projects, I can keep in my mind in parallel while building on all of them. It's a lot and I haven't reached that limit yet but I feel I might be close I also noticed that you start going really fast the more you let it just go loose, before I was slow because I didn't trust it and I was scared it would destroy my code, now I just let it go. As @karpathy wrote, things feel like they've changed a lot around December last year when models became good enough to really code with and I feel the same When I see other friends code with Claude Code I often notice they're slow because they still check everything, which is good of course, but I feel the better way would be to create some tests and just let it run freely and see if it can pass those For me the tests are mostly just me checking out if the new feature on the site works or not, and in 99% cases it just does, and then I ask it to improve it further Because I run Claude Code on the server in production, I don't have to wait for deployment anymore (although that took only 3 seconds anyway before, that still adds up), now it's wait for it to be done coding, I refresh the site and I test it, that feedback loop is how I work and it's made me WAY faster Anyway here's what I did this week and the majority of these things were requested by people on the bug board, I'd say this is about 10x my normal output: 📸 Photo AI - Built new image viewer and mobile image viewer - Added batch remix, multi-photo import, filtering by model in gallery - Security overhaul: phased out insecure ?hash= login, migrated to session tokens - Fixed Google login loop, multi-model selection, talking scripts - Added custom audio upload for talking videos - Created dynamic model selector from server endpoint 🏡 Interior AI - Revived [ Add furniture ] feature (started 6 months ago, image models now good enough) - Added custom style upload for redesigns - Built own Gaussian Splat viewer for 3D - Made /remove_bg endpoint for furniture backgrounds - Migrated 3D walkthrough to new World Labs API - Added .skp file support, paint color masking, empty room button 🎒 Nomads - Launched weekly AI-generated newsletter from chat - Built profile edit modal, moved profile editing from /settings to profile page - Added TikTok/YouTube links, status bar, server-side API tracking - Added hundreds of new profile tags and traits - Fixed timezone filters, broken links, user avatars 🗺️ Hoodmaps - Revived write mode (before was only read for last few years because db was rekt) - Built heatmap mode using sentiment-scored tags (50K+ tags) - Fixed root cause: tags not entering DB due to wrong PRAGMA (should be WAL) - Added good/bad area detection with admin grid controls - Set up Claude Code Telegram bot for live changes - Enabled CF cache, fixed health check, fixed Brussels 📕 MAKE book - Built auto ePub/PDF generator cron worker - Added dynamic generation with personal customer watermarks - Added image compression for file size 💾 Pieter .com - Added Wikipedia text-only reader for Kindle - Exploring Windows 3.11 emulator using v86 (to replace Em-DOSBox) - Added product recommendations on homepage - Installed Wall Street Raider (1986) 👩‍💻 Remote OK - Installed Chatbase AI customer support bot - Added "report not remote" link on job posts 🏨 Hotelist (3 todos) - Fixed hotel URLs and city range bugs - Added iron amenity

@lightbend Scala

Which Programming Language are you using? #Developer #Programming #Java #JavaScript #Lightbend

So true! Try and ask your team to drop it for a week. Things will look differently

Never thought I could use metaprogramming to get PR merged in a great library 💪🎉

We are pleased to announce that we have received a 5.5M DKK (700K EUR) grant from the Independent Research Fund to work on type and effect systems! This grant will fund our research for the next four years and allow us to turbo-charge our development efforts on Flix!

Backwards: - The technical merit of #Scala is _the_ reason why Twitter works well as a distributed system - Scala is older than Go, and Twitter is not the only example in its track record "Hipster language"? Try your first 100 lines, you'll love it

Cats Effect 3.4.0 has been released! This is a HUGE release with even more huge release notes. Can't do it justice in a tweet, so please enjoy this novella instead: github.com/typelevel/cats…

Hi Twitter! 📢I'm on the job hunt! I'm a driven, experienced leader who creates a safe, innovative & empowered team environment and culture. I'm open to positions at the intersection of engineering, operations & marketing (non-IC roles preferred). Please engage, share, tag, & ♥️

We're polling #Scala engineers to hear your most common uses of Scala and the downsides you may face with it in projects. It's two quick multiple-choice questions. Help us out by filling it out here, it's anonymous: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… cc: @NynyF @rafaparadela

@47deg @NynyF @rafaparadela I suggest adding issues in cross platform projects too

Migrating from #Akka HTTP to tapir softwaremill.com/migrating-from… #Scala

Folks, get your act together. This was #Scala 15 years ago. Scala needs some more serious marketing.
