@ndrewpignanelli @writenicecode @paper @figma Wanted to say the same. I found figma mcp (in cursor) to be fairly useless. Most of the time I end up pushing pixels manually anyway

fast forward many years into the future and it turned out that mongo is actually the worst DB ever created
curious if the pattern will be repeated
James Cowling@jamesacowling
Worth a read if you don’t remember the old Mongo/Redis benchmark days and how they were going to destroy MySQL/Postgres because they were “web scale”
English
I’ve been in meetings where this kind of thing was always framed as “engineering vs business”. Engineers push back against this “borderline” sales message, sales/marketing push for it. The business side always won because “growth” is more important than anything else
I’d like to believe that there were engineers at revolut pushing back against this (or maybe they didn’t even know about these notifications). Either way, it’s really bad practice
English
I don’t have notifications on for many apps: it’s only for the very few that never abuse them.
Some marketing or growth hacking person at Revolut has now achieved me turning off all Revolut notifications, after sending what I consider spam. Non actionable, just plain junk.

prediction - this wil become most people’s default git UI within the next 6 months

Introducing Better Hub We tried to improve GitHub. It’s ambitious project and super early, but our team already uses it by default. Give it a try (and its open-source)
English
@GergelyOrosz And IMO, code red doesn’t mean anything if they don’t have a proper AI strategy. They are just playing catchup at this point with their own products, instead of actually setting the standards
English
Microsoft doesn’t have a proper AI strategy (at all). The best they did was to rebrand Office to MS Copilot and report a huge increase in copilot adoption (probably to look good for shareholders)
You can’t expect them to build anything meaningful if their entire “strategy” is to force copilot into every little part of the OS (even where users don’t want it)
English
How did Anthropic ship a desktop app to work with Excel and PowerPoint in an agentic way before Microsoft did??
(FWIW hearing Microsoft has code red because of Claude Cowork - they know they should have shipped something like this first. Still have no response but working on it)

Claude in PowerPoint is now available on the Pro plan. It also now supports connectors, bringing context from your daily tools directly into your slides. Try it here: claude.com/claude-in-powe…

This just shows how bad github is fumbling at the moment
One dev with great taste builds an infinitely better experience than a billion dollar company
Beka@bekacru
I didnt every try that hard and its already much better...

@m_zokov Pre-AI I thought it was easier to use a 3rd party to cover all the auth flows without writing LOTS of boilerplate
But now, it’s actually easier to write auth flows for your specific use cases with AI (and you’re not depending on any 3rd party anymore)
English
@nwbotha I’ve always been annoyed by the idea of having all your customers in a 3rd party… plenty of self-hosted options. I’m building myself a boilerplate that I may productize somehow
English
daily reminder - roll your own auth
don’t outsource the most critical part of your app to a 3rd party
English
@heyandras be careful, you're going to rebuild github before you know it
English
🛠️ I made a mini Github in Jean, so I don't need to open it at all.
I can read any issues/prs, already transfer context from them to a local agent, even from multiple at a time.
I really like opinionated stuffs.
English
@anuraggoel Great, thanks for sharing. I suspected it's something I missed
English
We’ve raised $100M at a $1.5B valuation.
We built Render to give developers an intuitive path to reliable and scalable cloud infrastructure.
Now, we are bringing that same philosophy to long-running, stateful infrastructure for AI apps & agents.

diffs[dot]com is taking over my timeline (for good reason)
it seems like building a PR review tool is the new todo list app

it's amazing how fast computers can be without all the bloatware
I'm running Omarchy, with 4 opencode terminals, many github tabs, cursor, slack and everything is amazingly fast on a small beelink box (24gb ram and 512 ssd)
the same setup on my mac (same specs) is quite slow
and the beelink box is a 5th of the price 🤯

@nwbotha I think you mean - tax the asset wealth that that haven't even got yet.
I don't get it.

This is just insane! The easiest way to make entrepreneurs and investors flee your country - tax their asset wealth

@dobroslav_dev I created this CLI utility some time ago to do exactly this. Some of the dependencies are probably outdated, but it might be useful for you

What's the easiest way to convert OpenAPI schema to mcp server right now?
Preferably with CLI + code (use with Claude Code for example).
