Over the past few weeks I’ve been quietly working on something new. A product that solves one of the pain points I’ve felt everywhere I’ve worked. The ever growing complexity of customer signals spread between teams. Trek. Aims to solve that. usetrek.app

Thankful to 🇦🇷 Argentina for once again giving it all. Grit, passion, talent, faith. To Messi for proving he’s the best ever. And to America 🇺🇸 for hosting such a wonderful event. Enhorabuena tíos 🇪🇸!

@realBenBloch So much harping on about the good old days… it’s 2026 Ignoring all this ridiculous fear mongering, the bottom line is simple. The 21st century and beyond is digital. The UK is falling behind already and will now have generations of children at a disadvantage.

Someone inform the children that we were able to contact friends before social media existed by doing things like… texting.

Fable is … pretty good then eh

@thameswater It’s located around here: 121 Anerley Rd, Anerley, London SE20 8AJ

@tomvance94 Hello, I'm sorry to hear that. Could you please provide the closest full address, so I can look into this? Thanks - Josh

This water has been leaking out the ground for weeks now @thameswater when is it going to be sorted?

@TfL @Lilly_jo_Cullen What was the obstruction?

@Lilly_jo_Cullen Hi Lilly-Jo, service on the WIndrush Line has been suspended while we deal with an obstruction on the track at Canada Water. Please seek an alternative route. Sorry for the inconvenience caused, TA

@TfL Shoreditch High St. Should we get off this Windrush train Clapham Junction or not

@polar_sh As someone who owns too many hats already. Where do o buy one of these

apparel for the ai era

Claude down again, shocker. I think it’s time to move to Codex. Once this month runs out

@marcelpociot Oh interesting I thought they said you had to use an API key for the agent SDK 🤷 in all honesty it’s been nothing but confusing on their part

@tomvance94 We are using the official claude sdk which defaults to using your subscription 🤷‍♂️ No hackery involved here

Today we're announcing Polyscope - the free agent orchestration tool of my dreams. Run dozens of AI agents at the same time, blazing fast copy on write clones, a built-in preview browser you can use to visually prompt your agents, and much more. getpolyscope.com

@Shpigford @replysocial I got really confused here haha that’s our company mark at Florence (the feather) I always assumed someone made it, I guess it’s just an icon or something. But number 2 is my fave

which color we feeling for @replysocial?

@mindofprospect He’s not, he’s saying it doesn’t solve the problem. All it does it stop more interest piling on to the debt people already won’t pay off. You need to reduce the amount owed to what it should have been when we signed the loans so people can actually clear the debt.

I hate Martin Lewis so much, why is he advocating against a reduction in the interest rates?

@Shpigford @conductor_build Yeh if this is true I may have to move to Codex… or give some of the GLM models more of a go.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. 😭 this is crushing. @conductor_build is a massive productivity multiplier for me.

@r_marked @theo Seems to be back up now, just had a weird 10min window. All good! F

@tomvance94 @theo No? Try clearing cache and restarting your browser?

@theo @r_marked is t3 down? I’m just getting loading spinners

@brankopetric00 Literally just pick some SaaS offering, why are we wasting time on some infra project with no users

New startup. You're the first infrastructure hire. CTO wants the platform ready in 3 months. Option A: Kubernetes from day one - Future-proof - Steep learning curve - Longer initial setup - Easier to scale later Option B: Simple ECS + Fargate - Faster to production - Less operational overhead - Might need migration later - AWS lock-in Option C: Just EC2 + Docker Compose - Fastest MVP - Manual scaling - Technical debt guaranteed - Cheapest short-term Team size: 4 developers (none with K8s experience) Expected growth: 10x users in 12 months Funding: Series A secured What's your recommendation?

@theo I’ve had better results getting the to use mermaid. Thankfully notion can render it nicely But yeh pure MD has been bad

Insane that every model is still so bad at formatting diagrams in markdown

@hamptonism I mean… if I can pay whatever I want I’m paying 1p or nothing… I stand to win the most that way , it never asks anything about odds

Quant Interview Question:

@dillon_mulroy We have a claude skill / agent for this, it reviews our code locally, and talks us through the suggestions. We also have some options to add these to draft PRs if they’re open. I prefer this approach as it has much wider context about our project.

my take on the code review tools that are coming out: they’re solving real problems, but not the biggest problem: i need a way to review code effectively before it ever gets to github
