@joemasilotti Take a few hours, probably no more than 2h, to vibe code a shell script that creates and another one that removes git worktree with optional merging.
I also added that it automatically opens the new worktree in your favorite editor. And I also added some optional setup scripts
English

@joemasilotti The optional scripts copy over node modules and .env etc. This is per repo. Convention over configuration. If no script in repo it doesn't get executed.

@aakashgupta What makes you think it doesn't work the other way around? Maybe the score is higher than what it should be and so even though you slept poorly, your score is high and you perform better.
English

You check your Apple Watch in the morning. Sleep score: 62. You decide it's going to be a foggy day. And then it is.
A 2014 Colorado College study suggests the score itself causes the fog.
164 people walked into a lab. Researchers hooked them up to fake EEG equipment and told them the readout would show their REM percentage from the night before. Then they fabricated a number. Half the room was told 28.7%. Half was told 16.2%. The machine wasn't measuring anything.
Participants took four cognitive tests. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test, where you add numbers spoken at increasing speed and hold your last sum in working memory while computing the next. And the Controlled Oral Word Association Task, where you generate as many words as you can starting with a single letter under time pressure. Both are gold-standard measures of attention and executive function used in clinical neurology.
The 28.7% group outperformed the 16.2% group on both. Significantly. How rested participants actually felt that morning predicted nothing.
The mechanism is mindset priming an executive resource. When you believe you slept well, you allocate cognitive effort more aggressively. You don't conserve. You don't pre-disengage. Belief about the resource changes how you spend it.
Two control conditions ruled out demand characteristics. Participants weren't trying harder because they thought they should. Real measurable cognitive performance shifted with the number on the readout.
The Apple Watch sleep score. The Oura ring readiness number. The morning ritual of checking either one is taxing the resource you're about to need.
The performance gap from a fabricated REM percentage was larger than the gap from how rested participants actually felt. The number was louder than the night.

kde connect is an app for mac/linux/windows that allows you to clipboard sync, send files, remote control, etc etc an android phone
it works great but it drives me nuts that the desktop app isn't that optimized for macOS
so i just oneshot an alternative that's built in swift and works great via tailscale
we truly live in times

@paseo_sh dang, I just installed Paseo and it looks amazing! Thank you! I hit an issue and seems like I'm not the only one: github.com/getpaseo/paseo…
Thanks! 🙏

@mdiebolt This looks like something that might come in handy for Ruby Native @joemasilotti

@aviflombaum @bradgessler Came here to ask this. How do you open a socket to the Rails server?
English

ProTip for Rubyists: open a socket into your Rails web server so your agent can directly observe what’s going on over irb.
This is the gateway drug to running self-improving agent loops at more rapid iterations.
Brad Gessler@bradgessler
The only factors that will matter for languages is if they’re token efficient and readable by humans. Beyond that it will be all about the runtime: is it fast? Is it observable? How good are its scaling primitives? Observability is crucially important for self-improving loops.

(a few) reasons i won't switch to ios even tho my current android probably died 💀
◈ notification center CLEARS: it's way better in every possible way, period
◈ apps can display permanent notification in the notif center (i.e tailscale, tesla) so you can see their status + press notification action buttons
◈ full screen calendar reminders (apple doesn't do this except for alarms)
◈ with apps like tasker, autoapps, macdroid etc. you can do REAL automations
◈ enabling adb via network allows any agent to fully take over and control your phone
◈ i was laughing at the idea of going back to a fingerprint but it's way faster than face id ... i said what i said
◈ splitting and floating apps are SUPER useful, don't let tim cope convince you otherwise by forcing you to use a single app at a time in 2026
◈ google photos > apple photos, all day every day
◈ little icons from apps in status bar tell you which apps you have notifs from without swiping down the notification center
◈ but what about clipboard sync? you can use KDE Connect which gives you better and more predictable clipboard/file sync than the iCloud one
◈ you can use syncthings? instantly sync any file across mac, android, or any other device on your tailscale network. i use it to sync my screenshots and camera folders to my mac so i don't need to airdrop things. they just appear there immediately.
◈ airdrop works btw (latest pixel and samsung only, which are the only androids you should buy anyway)
◈ you can install any apk file from anywhere without giving tim apple a bj
◈ install streamio, emulators, download roms, just do whatever tf you want
◈ a REAL file manager, not one that's pretending to be a file manager
◈ better battery life (yes, really)
◈ REAL difference between browsers (browser engines) not just the app skeleton
◈ chrome on android is gazillion times better than chrome and safari on iOS
◈ gboard CLEARS the iOS keyboard: clipboard history, snippets, always show number/emoji rows, better correction, better swiping, better better better everything
◈ gemini > siri i mean lmao it's not even a question
◈ WAY more sensors in home assistant
◈ way faster animations (especially if u reduce them to 0.5x) and feels way snappier than liquid ass
◈ no one is forcing app library on you, you 100% own your homescreen
◈ if you want you can install a custom launcher (i vibe coded one for myself) and completely replace your homescreen with something custom
HOW THE FUCK DO I GO BACK TO HAVING AN ORANGE PHONE LIKE THE REST OF YOU WITH THE SAME FUCKING BULKY CASE AND SAME HOME SCREEN AND APP LAYOUT AND LIST OF COPE APPS LIKE FLIGHTY AND ALL THE OTHER BULLSHIT

@jorgemanru @OmarchyLinux Asking without checking: has anyone tried installing @OmarchyLinux on their Mac? What's the benefit of buying a new laptop?
English

As a hardcore macOS fan, I was quite skeptical about @OmarchyLinux. A few months in, though, there’s no way you could get me back onto a Mac. The environment is simply superior: more ergonomic, faster, WAY more beautiful and pleasant to the eye, zero bloat.
I still have an M4 that I haven’t replaced yet, mainly because it’s quite new. I usually work from home with a Framework desktop, and I can’t see myself getting anything substantial done on the MBP anymore. The downgrade would be quite a burden.

Companies should offer a bounty to their engineers for any cost optimization / rewrite they make (with or without AI).

What do you think @tobi ? Maybe 10% or even more? 1 year of expenses as a bounty.

@BijanRahnema @lucianghinda Are you using any skills or similar for Sandi Metz rules? I was thinking how great it would be to have Claude be aware of these rules automatically.

Uninstalled gstack from Claude Code.
