@trevorlasn @Polymarket It's Google, they had Collab in docs decades ago

@Polymarket Figma's real moat is multiplayer collaboration, not the canvas itself. If AI can generate layouts, you still need a shared space to iterate with your team. Curious whether this actually ships or joins the Google product graveyard.

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

@Star_Knight12 Yep, remember seeing him chant that in 2008 in north Ryde, Sydney.

back then it was -> developers developers developers now it’s -> AI AI AI

@vyrotek LINQ best thing to happen to C# since 2008

How do you even live without C# LINQ? ngmi

@CinemaTweets1 Dune was boring. Watched it in a 4dx cinema, fell asleep. Not on the same level as Lotr

Do you think it’s possible that the Dune Trilogy could compete with The Lord of the Rings Trilogy? I’m genuinely asking if we might one day compare these sagas. Dune doesn’t have the #Oscars LOTR does, but that could change in one year. Either way, this generation has its trilogy

@JebraFaushay Looks like he still enjoys what he does.. How about you?

It’s ok to retire. You don’t have to perform anymore. Here is Rod Stewart strutting around with his tight little flare jeans and teased hair.

@startupideaspod If I was in the business of selling GPUs, with AI heavily relying on GPUs, than I would be looking for every angle to promote the use of AI too.

"OpenClaw is the new computer." — Jensen Huang This is the early PC era all over again. A few power users see it. Everyone else hasn't even started. "It's the most popular open source project in the history of humanity, and it did so in just a few weeks. It exceeded what Linux did in 30 years." A solo founder with OpenClaw can now build what used to take a 50-person team. The leverage is absurd.

@nateberkopec Loc was always a terrible metric. It really only indicated general size and complexity of an app. The goal was always to reduce loc where possible.

Steve Yegge and Garry Tan have proven: 1. LOC and commit counts are dead. Stop tracking them. 2. The only metric that ever mattered was value delivered to the customer and value (revenue) captured as a result. If you are posting 1 but not showing 2, you should STFU.

@blackroomsec Interesting angle yeah . So they want to devalue electricians, by laying off tech and knowledge workers due to ai, and flood market with new electricians. And yet if electricians en.masse didn't wire up or maintain data centres that could be very interesting

Electricians have the opportunity to save humanity and do the funniest thing, ever, by just never showing up to any AI data center for work. Sleep in. You need your beauty sleep.

as a dev, what was your first code editor?

@thepropgallery Yeah I remember paperboy, friend had it on his C64. Didn't get too far though

Paperboy from 1985 I was nine years old when this came out, who remembers it?

@svpino No, no we don't. @Proton_Pass will you be implementing AI into your password manager anytime soon?

Do you really need your password manager to use AI?

@Waltraud0815 @exQUIZitely Let's add in

@exQUIZitely Well ... I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

This one is for the OGs. Norton Commander or PC Tools - which was your #1?

@exQUIZitely Probably preferred Xtree Gold more at the time.

@borntoFLY11135 @1Password Yeah we use bitwarden for work stuff, u.i is not as good as 1password though. still use KeePass (and kpx)... Yeah looking into protonpass.

@rob_stemp @1Password use bitwarden, protonpass (paid), keeper (free but paid for extra security)

Today we’re introducing 1Password® Unified Access. As AI agents start operating inside real production environments, organizations need visibility into how credentials and access are actually used. Unified Access helps security teams discover, secure, and audit access across humans, machines, and AI agents. 🔗 More here: bit.ly/4dq2pjO

@Saulimedes @1Password No Claude don't share passwords publicly on as a social media post

@1Password No claude, don't delete all passwords of my company!!!

@zebassembly I've seen some truly horrendous codebases in different languages. And it was rarely the language or platform that was the cause of it.

I cant be the only one, but every single time I interact with a government website (mostly state) I feel like I should quit my job and devote my life to making gov sites not horrible because holy shit they're all shit then I realize I'd have to deal with asp.net

@wholyv @copiert37 Well tbf the Indian guys learnt from the Americans, Europeans etc. after all, who created the programming languages. The innovations etc. Books provide depth in a way no yt video could, and prior to the web were the main source of learning material.

@copiert37 in the end everyone needs to learn from an indian guy

i just don’t get it what’s the point of reading programming books? or basically any technical book? like you aren’t gonna retain anything out of it anyways.

@copiert37 @wholyv Yeah all the YouTube stuff is surface level at best. And such an incredibly slow way to learn. Some people like that I guess

@wholyv Not reading it, but working through it is effective and you get a deeper understanding of the language than through some Indian guy's youtube videos

@wholyv When I read programming books, the key thing was concepts and understanding what the author was narrating, absolutely did retain that info. Books and magazines used to be our only main sources of learning.

@Generic_User51 Well, that's very insightful @Generic_User51, say you wouldn't be related to @Generic_55 by any chance?

@rob_stemp There’s nothing because the joke is that a world without electricity cannot form as stars are unable to exist

The engines literally produce electricity
