I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out. I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really). It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely. The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture. We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying. I worry.

If you use any of the following with your Claude sub, your usage must got cut by 25x: - T3 Code - Conductor - zed - jean - “Claude -p” in your ci - scripts to call Claude code from other tools They’re disguising this as “free credits”. Don’t fall for it.

pov: shipping from a moving train

People using AI to ship the same slop 10x faster but not using it to actually improve your software quality and tech debt. WHY THE F ? If you know your game, that huge migration you've been off for months is now a matter of days (if not hours)

If you are an engineer and you are uncomfortable learning new things you should seriously consider changing job.

Rooting for @github. They’ve given me years of free infra. happy to give them some time to figure this out. You got this.

🚨 A brand-squatting npm package impersonating TanStack shipped malicious versions that exfiltrate environment variables from developers’ machines during install. We spoke to @tannerlinsley, creator of @tan_stack, who confirmed that the maintainer of the unscoped tanstack package is not associated with TanStack or the official @tanstack/* projects in any way. The package is unrelated to the project's official CLI, and represents an ongoing brandjacking issue. He also said TanStack has filed legal documents related to a pending trademark infringement claim against the maintainer, that the maintainer previously demanded $10,000 from him, and that TanStack has repeatedly tried, unsuccessfully, to get @npmjs to address the situation.

A letter to my friends at Anthropic I hate that I feel obligated to do this. I hate that I've had to be so harsh towards Anthropic for the past few months. I really, really don't want to. I know it might feel like I'm doing this for clicks or something, but I promise I'm not. My pro-Anthropic content ALWAYS outperforms my anti-Anthropic content. I have cost myself a lot of money, opportunities, sponsors, and more. I'm doing this because you work for an evil cult. I'm begging you to wake up. Your CEO, Dario, does not respect engineers. This is obvious. He couldn't make it more obvious if he tried (and I think he's trying pretty hard) You know this, but you don't want to acknowledge it. It has kept you up many nights. You know that bad code is shipping to users. You know that one bad tweet might get you fired. You fear for your vesting schedules. You're afraid. Nobody deserves what you're going through right now. You go to work afraid, you leave work afraid, and you go to YouTube to keep up on the dev world, just to hear me yelling all about how evil your company is. You deserve better. You might not feel like you do, but you know deep down that this isn't right. I hope you know how deeply I feel for you. I'm sorry. I know I haven't helped you much individually, and I want to be better about this. If you're ready to leave, please hit me up. I swear I'll never tell a soul. I have friends at every lab and most startups in the AI world. Most of them would be down to match your current vesting schedules, possibly even go beyond. If you're staying for the money, I beg you to hit me up. We can make the money happen somewhere that hates you less. I know I'm asking for a lot of trust here, and that you're scared after seeing how hard I've been on Anthropic. I can't blame you at all for that. I should have posted something like this months ago. That's my failure to own and I will own it to my best ability. If you're willing to trust me in this moment, I can make it right. Let me help you escape. You deserve to work somewhere that you can have impact. Somewhere that listens when you feel something is wrong. Somewhere that won't fire you when you point out the things that hurt your users. My DMs are always open to you. When you're ready, let me know. I promise to make it right.

@shadcn I add it back every single time

I see. How many of you do this? I’d like to get a sense of how common this is.

Introducing GPT-5.5 A new class of intelligence for real work and powering agents, built to understand complex goals, use tools, check its work, and carry more tasks through to completion. It marks a new way of getting computer work done. Now available in ChatGPT and Codex.

Currently refactoring a multi-page filter set (15+ filters) 4 years of blind steps and piled complexity Used to be handled by manually manipulating search params and... zustand ?? Yeah, gonna burn all that and set up @nuqs47ng 🙌🚀 justfuckingusenuqs.dev

In the AI era, PLEASE don’t spam open source maintainers with generated slop... I built a skill that helps you build clean bug repros and issues for node/js libs, mindfully and step by step! Would ❤️ your feedback github.com/ntatoud/skills…

@vicBox_ I've been using it! But most of the times it's not properly picked up by the agent unless I explicitly write /shadcn 😅. And even so, I've had a few mishaps

@nowaytatoud Same here 🙋🏻‍♂️ Have you tried the shadcn skills? ui.shadcn.com/docs/skills

Opus 4.7 just keeps hallucinating "asChild" props on shadcn even tho I have base-ui setup and components.json up to date. LIKE WHY ??

@kentcdodds Honestly, seeing the UX and the results you get, I think we're all fiiiiiine.

Suddenly the generated UI feature that I have in Kody seems kinda useless 😆

We're entering a very interesting era where 2 philosophies collide: Open sourcing because of AI Vs Closed sourcing because of AI 🤔

@orcdev Ship good: ❌ Ship fast: ✅

is this the end of designers?

@mattpocockuk Damn I was talking just this morning about having a grill-me like skill which outputs docs tracking intent and decisions! Nice !

My new skill lineup: /domain-model - replaces /grill-me, integrates some DDD concepts and adds docs & ADR's during discussions /to-prd - create a PRD /to-issues - create issues with blocking /github-triage - triage issues with a state machine-based labelling system /tdd - do TDD where appropriate Still more to flesh out, but this is feeling AWESOME

@shadcn We did the switch from radix to base a few months ago. We had a few customizations on top of the raw shadcn componentd but the transition was still mostly flawless !! Incredible work ! github.com/BearStudio/sta…

The fact that you can update a shadcn/ui app created in 2023 from Radix to Base UI is proof that the model works. I think, hear me out, that installing a component library that bundles styles with primitives into npm packages is a liability at this point. You're undoing the whole point of headless libraries.

📚 Colocation matters. Cognitive load matters. Boundaries matter. High cohesion matters. Yes, even in the age of AI (maybe even more so). Enter the vertical codebase: tkdodo.eu/blog/the-verti…
