Strake is now free for individual developers and small teams. Deploy gate, connected runbooks, lockfile diffing. No credit card, no trial timer. We also just shipped a GitHub Action. Three lines of YAML and every PR gets a GO / HOLD / CRITICAL verdict before it merges. strake.dev github.com/marketplace/ac…

@feulf @rileybrown Idk, it says open. I went to it like 10 years ago or something.

@strakedev @rileybrown Didn’t they close this?

Just landed in NYC. Whats the best coffee shop in Chelsea?

Ran a 5-agent parallel code review on the desktop app this morning. Top blocker: the packaged build pipeline was completely broken. The .app loaded a blank window, python sidecar wasn't bundled, mcp binary was missing. fixed all three. now make installer-mac produces a real .app that boots. arm64 mac, unsigned, but it works as a real Mac App.

@paularambles sf is an extremely flyable city for a winged superhero and I will die on this hill

lots of paulagiarizers out here

@rachcorrine Detroit hat is unfortunately incredible.

Tom Selleck hat game go crazy. Working on a hat shop TODAY. Stay tuned.

@Ekaeoq So I shouldn't be furiously hitting the "BIDDING starts 28th of May" button?

STOP LOOKING AT THE SITE!!! :(((((((((((((((((((((( Now, fixing in prod.. incredible

A deploy gate should not pretend stale data is fresh. This week we added freshness tracking for PagerDuty/GitHub/DataDog syncs, worker heartbeat checks, and production migration guardrails. If Strake says HOLD or GO, you should know whether the signals behind it are alive.

@yacineMTB Can't do it, wife is a SAHM. Daycare costs were too high.

What it feels like to drop my kid off at daycare

@ConsoomerLs "You're lucky I didn't leave sooner, I don't hate my wife like you do. See you tomorrow, Jim"

“Leaving at 5:01, are we? Someone’s in a hurry to get out of here.”

@growing_daniel Now that I see the product I actually think the idea is stupid.

I genuinely can’t believe all these people are this bad at taking steroids

@jameszimmermann Did the same thing with a wristwatch. My toddler has a little coloring book he takes everywhere. He gets an M&M when he finishes a page.

Instead of an iPhone my youngest kid has a stopwatch. Takes it everywhere and records how long everything takes in a little notepad. You can just say “No” to the iPhone.

@KingBootoshi Love this, would be cleaner with tmux of course. But I do the same thing sometimes hah.

new tick unlocked, feeling itchy unless i have min 4 active Codex /goals at all time

@eliano @chadwahl I’m h man, I need this. How awesome!

how it started how it's going

@randomrecruiter How many of these companies overhired during/after covid?

2026 is one of the most brutal tech job markets in history. But this is not the dot com bubble, the Great Recession, or the beginning of Covid. This guy had it exactly right. Companies are laying off thousands of people while the S&P 500 hits all time highs. Revenues are up. Stock prices are soaring. Full teams are still getting gutted. The social contract between companies and employees is dead. Job stability is gone. The only thing you have left is career stability. And your career stability depends entirely on three things. • Who you know. • Who knows you. • How fast you adapt to AI in the workplace. Build your network and learn how to adapt to the new version of Corporate America. Nobody is coming to save you.

@DrewVento I am so old. This forum and muscular developments forum were so good.

I am this old

@1ssve “How am I supposed to work without my alcohol in my office and my 3 hour lunches and my wife at home raising 5 kids”

Boomers calling remote work lazy is hilarious coming from people who took 2 hour lunches and pretended to be busy for 30 years.

@LiebermanAustin @oasishealthapp Excited to show this to my powerlifting coach and explain why I am no longer drinking protein shakes.

Thanks to the @oasishealthapp I’ve switched from poisonous FairLife Protein Milk to Bourbon and I can’t even begin to explain how much healthier I feel.

Minimize envy. Just because someone else wins doesn’t mean you lose.
