@Footyfan2222 @strongmoneyaus 0 chance by the time I’m 70 that it looks like this

@mfuaux @strongmoneyaus That will be you the recipient one day

People are realising just how much tax is embedded in fuel prices (myself included). GST is added on top of the fuel excise - tax on top of tax. So if you earn $100 and pay 37% income tax... Then from your $63 you go and buy fuel...

@Footyfan2222 @strongmoneyaus Uhhhhh

@strongmoneyaus Ok, but the other $60 gets you things too, safe society, all the roads, infrastructure, medical care, and else, you think the earth just provides it for free? Determine how much value you place on what you get back from the $60. It’s not $0

@ComplexiaSC @levelsio Opus 4.6 imported “useEffect” from “react-native” the other day for me

@levelsio That post is disingenuous. He includes models like Llama 7B, GPT 3.5, and a bunch of others from as early as 2023. Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4 are not even on it. And still finds it to be 18-23%. Conclusion: modern models hardly ever do this. You’re safe.

Okay honestly this makes vibe coding into production very dangerous, you guys were all right I think what I'll do is cut off all access to DBs and run it as a user with almost no privileges

@x0_lua Those people haven’t figured it out all the tricks yet unfortunately. There is a very large non-technical part of software/tech which is far more important in Australia than other countries.

@mfuaux my experience in tech is anyone with a brain is used and underpaid and forced to fix the astronomical amount of tech debt accumulated by consistant bad decisions in infrastructure, and it would drive any decent person mad :(

i am genuinely done with australia. i have not met a single competent person with a decent moral compass in any position of power. there is no structure or standard here, every section of government, corporate/private and every ICT related sector is absolutely retarded and there is no way to fix any of these systems because australians are raised to not engage in intelligent conversation with others and instead have dick swinging contests. idc if other countries have their own issues im sincerely done here. it’s a shame because it’s such a beautiful country, too bad the people in charge of it have below average IQs and allow corrupt companies to literally rape us financially.

@rismanrp26 @coolemur @davidbyttow Lorem ipsum lmao

@coolemur @davidbyttow How can you measure it with pretext if the text content isn't available yet? People use skeleton loader for text because, you know, it's still loading. If it's available to be measured, then we can just show it already.

Your browser re-layouts the entire page every time an image loads. So what if the layout engine was just math? Left: native CSS Grid. Images load one by one without preset dimensions. Each one triggers a cascade of layout shifts. Red outlines = every element that moved. Right: boxmath, a pure JS layout engine I built this morning. Same images, same timing. Positions are pre-computed with arithmetic, applied in one batch write. Nothing moves. Zero layout shifts. Inspired by @_chenglou's pretext (github.com/chenglou/prete…), which figured out that text measurement doesn't need the DOM. Canvas gives you widths, and from there it's just arithmetic. boxmath takes that same idea and applies it to layout: Box, Stack, Row, Text, Image. Five primitives, pure math, no reflow. The browser's layout engine isn't slow because the algorithm is hard. It's slow because every measurement read forces a synchronous recalc of the entire document. Decouple the computation from the DOM and re-solving a full layout tree costs ~0.1ms.

@loftwah Add a google business so it references loftwah as a separate entity

People can't find LoftwahFM on Google because Google thinks they are searching for Loftware. What should I do about this?

@slantsalot @morganlinton @_chenglou All examples I’ve seen so far have made UX worse. Very cool concept though and will definitely be trying it out

@morganlinton @_chenglou is this just a visual design thing right? any functionality for UX?

This has been a wild morning - I think CSS is dead. No hype, actually a real engineer, @_chenglou that went through a pretty rigorous process, and in the end, seems to have catalyzed a foundational shift in how websites are made, without CSS. Decided to publish a special edition of my newsletter that I just released now, because I think this is a pretty big deal. Link in first comment below.

@DanielW_Kiwi @Shreyassanthu77 I use next.js with 0 SSR at work, works amazing. Literally sits on cloud front, no “server” whatsoever.

@Shreyassanthu77 Yeah I'm more annoyed that I signed off on letting someone use next js now we need a high spec server for something that should live in a CDN.

React SSR is some bull shit. How did anyone think that was a good idea. Dude we screwed up.

@hunvreus @aidenybai This happens with all large user interfaces, JavaFX, Swift, even plain html+css+js.

@aidenybai I have yet to see a React codebase that doesn't end up looking like a hot pile of garbage. I think it's a feature of the framework.

the type of code bro writes after spending $1,000 orchestrating 50 agents

@LukeParkerDev @ImNikhil117 Beautiful ratio

@ImNikhil117 no it doesnt

im am this close to crashing out. every AI just does dumb stuff unless you are so specific you may as well code. it can help for mass migrations once you've already done the shape and exact impl, and have a bunch of boring work. im so sick of trying to wrangle it lol

@Polymarket Very sad tbh, figma is such a good product and is widely loved. Hope they can figure a way to navigate the AI space

JUST IN: Figma stock plunged -8% in one day after Google unveiled AI “vibe design” tool.

@Adi__Ali @MickamiousG 484,000 new jobs created in 2024, only 99,000 were in the private market sector. 80% of job creation was in either the public sector or non-market sectors, both of which depend on government-funding for employment generation.

@MickamiousG How so?

The Australian economy is an economy built entirely upon fraud

@matthieunapoli Spatie data, then create a terminate middleware to map http response to whatever you want

I'll be honest there's something I really struggle with: validation in Laravel with the Action pattern. All recommendations point to having most of data validation in the controller (via custom request classes), and it's super practical (also works with Precognition). I want to keep that because of these advantages. But having only "business logic" validation in actions sucks when I re-use the action e.g. in CLI commands, or in imports, etc. In those cases, the data validation should still happen, but: - not HTTP, so custom request classes are harder to use and don't make sense either - it's possible to forget to validate things, and I like actions to be super safe (they validate stuff) How do you solve that cleanly? Especially CLI commands or mass imports?

@ariadotwav There were people who cheated long before AI. Many of them never graduated or found jobs. Your work will pay off

I cannot stress enough how absolutely cooked CS, Soft Eng, Comp Eng and basically any tech/IT major is. Literally no one in my cohort bothers to write their own code anymore. People just hand in labs that are fully vibecoded and pass with grades above 90% and the profs do NOTHING

@loftwah Ours are basically only used outside of business hours 😂

I miss the days when software only needed to run and operate during business hours. Some needed to be up 24/7 but most didn’t.

@loftwah Did a full day without any AI on Thursday + Friday. Absolutely pumped out a super high value feature and then rewarded myself by going autopilot doing crud with some hectic vim motions. Wish AI felt this good.

Is it just me or have people stopped/slowed down on building with agents/AI? It changes too much to really settle on one way of doing things and it isn't clear as to what you need to know or do VS what should be covered by the agents.

@dami_lareeeee @bidhanxcode > Go > Hard Ngmi

@bidhanxcode Because when I tried learning GO When I saw it was hard I STOPPED🌚

Google uses Go. Meta uses Go. Microsoft uses Go. Amazon uses Go. Uber uses Go. Dropbox uses Go. Cloudflare uses Go. Twitch uses Go. Docker uses Go. Kubernetes uses Go. PayPal uses Go. Shopify uses Go. What’s stopping you from learning Go?

@reinink I hate tables on mobile, definitely prefer rendering as cards

The latest thing bringing me immense joy? Working on ui.sh and getting the agents to actually follow more complex rules. Today's example — getting it to build a responsive table correctly 🤩

@tylerdotai @IroncladDev Shit comparison, “Trad coders” still use extremely powerful tooling. A better comparison would be a contractor installing cheap prefab house vs a brick house. Yes, both have a genuine market but one will be standing in 50 years, and the other won’t.

@IroncladDev This sounds like a trad coder's cope, man. Fighting back against technology has never played out well. Sure, you can have a contractor build your house with a screwdriver, but why would you when nail guns and power drills exist?

I'm tired of vibe coders telling me "you're getting left behind" I'm not taking the same path You just want to build half-baked software that works, and that's okay I want to master my craft and build + explore maximum-leverage developer-focused software
