@thdxr @liftosaur MCP is where it’s at

my new workout tracker is an always alive tmux session with an opencode session and a sqlite db

@nxthompson So much BS

Love it. Now imagine a world where new macs weren't held hostage by macOS.

@sssmcgrath github.com/ChrisTitusTech… seems like a good first step?

What do I need to do to make windows 11 kinda sorta usable?

@nicbarkeragain Damn. Never thought of it like that. Big true.

I broadly agree here but there’s also another mechanism at play - the models take so long to respond that it raises the floor for what is considered “slow”. Advent of the web raised this bar from ms to seconds bc of network, and now LLMs are raising it to 10s of seconds.

@typecraft_dev Make a few fidget spinners and then let it collect dust for years.

What should I do with this?

@trashh_dev Looks inside Sees react native

i know mobile development now

@kavkasfirulai @BasNorth @LowLevelTweets @ChShersh Goated book.

@BasNorth @LowLevelTweets @ChShersh The skill: having read Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective

To understand if you’re a good software developer, ask yourself: Can you implement a TCP server and client in pure C without using AI? If the answer is no, you have some work to do.

@rfleury Great read!

The Magic of the Better Software Conference Why BSC worked; why other conferences don’t.

@cnlohr I’m about two weeks into working without LSP and all autocomplete off and it’s pretty liberating. Uncomfortable at first, but the familiarity and memory starts compounding.

Something I don't think any tech ceo can comprehend is that there are people who prefer to code without autocomplete. How do you sell a product to people who can just do the thing they are trying to do?

@ibuildthecloud How do I get those 36 minutes back.

Watch this, listen to what he says about the economics of software development. Software is going to change a lot in 2026.👇

@kenwheeler Literally today had this go down. Am 36

you turn 40 and you’re like this celery is unbelievable

@thdxr A few off the dome Pin presses Rack pulls Pullups without wobble Band pegs Dumping the rack is impossible Pulldown/row attachments

how come people default to power racks i found it annoying to have to move the barbell from inside to outside and i can't do most things inside i'm swapping to a half rack, feels more ergonomic

@wagslane Idk man I asked ChatGPT and it said go for it bro don’t let your dreams be dreams

If you're wondering where we are in the AI upskilling bubble: I have people asking if they can skip coding basics and simple terminal usage to go straight to "Build Semantic Search and RAG from Scratch"

@geoffreylitt Really interesting idea. My only concern is that this presupposes the tutorial is correct, no? Have you begun building only to find it is incorrect?

I cannot emphasize enough how much I prefer this "tutorial doc + build-it-yourself" coding workflow to the typical "ugh" feeling of reviewing huge agent PRs. You can try it right now and see for yourself: 1) Instead of having Claude Code make a PR, ask it to output a Markdown doc with a deep, detailed guide for a dev to implement the change, including teaching you background and context about the broader surrounding system, and rationale behind why we're doing things a certain way. Tell it to be very exhaustive and ultrathink. (The result should be go way more in-depth than a typical plan mode output, it may take a while so I tee this up well in advance) 2) Read the resulting doc. And then code it yourself! Use Cursor to go faster: tab complete is your friend. You can also use the Composer model in Cursor Agent to fast-forward thru tedious bits -- but avoid using slower models or doing too much AI work at one time. You are staying connected to the work and going step by step. Think about it as you go, correct course as needed. Go off-script from the tutorial doc whenever you want. What I find when I do this is that I'm able to reactivate the "building things manually" parts of my brain which help me make good decisions and understand what's going on, but I'm also able to go super fast with the AI tools.

@MainMeowMix @thdxr @dizzzmas Is anyone using aerospace successfully with multiple monitors? I can’t seem to figure it out

@thdxr @dizzzmas Do you not like aerospace?

i think i can officially say i preferred my arch linux desktop over macOS the best thing about macOS is the flow between computer, phone, airpods everything else feels like 10% off the mark and all these paper cuts don't feel good

@adamwathan I always enjoying people malding over a good arch.

My biggest regret in life is not putting 405 on the bar instead of 400 on this day back in 2015.

@ThePrimeagen the old fashioned way is to first learn jQuery

My son is learning Javascript And guess what... He is learning it the old fashion way, I must be a terrible parent
