@andrejsshell Great post which mirror’s my experience woth my open source app. I was nodding in agreement to almost every point.

built a tiny self-hosted kanban board shipping code was easy the real stuff: docs forever, scary migrations, saying no, users becoming the product still my favorite thing i’ve ever done full post → andrej.sh/blog/maintaini… #opensource

We promised unprecedented transparency for Codex and to take the reports of degradation seriously, despite seeing incredible growth week over week. Here is our report and what we have found over the last seven days docs.google.com/document/d/1fD…

Multiple times per day now I have the feeling of "I cannot believe how amazing Claude is". But it doesn't make me feel *worried* for my job, it makes me feel *enabled*. I cannot believe how fast I can move now. And it's not in the places you expect. Claude doesn't make me *much* faster on the work that I am an expert on. Maybe 15-20% depending on the day. It's the work that I don't know how to do and would have to research. Or the grunge work I don't even want to do. On this it is hard to even put a number on. Many of the projects I do with Claude day to day I just wouldn't have done at all pre-Claude. Infinity% improvement in productivity on those.

@JamesH Very bougy, great idea. Enjoy, hope it doesn’t rain too much!

@weiran Yep, back to the van after nearly dying of heat stroke last year in the campsite 😂

We're back home Donington 🤘

Protesting the building of an EV battery factory to save a monoculture tree farm has to be funded by big oil? I can’t get my head around it. dw.com/en/berlin-tesl…

@chadtomkiss Ask a lot of questions

Advice for first time system design interview? Baby got nerves 🥺

@eddielee6 I’m not pedalling uphill without assistance like an animal

@weiran Omg ride a bike like a normal person

Nothing worse than getting up early for a bike ride and finding out the battery hasn’t charged overnight.

@samuelaled I don’t see the point of going all the way for a 1 day event, sure when it was in SF for a week but hard to justify it now.

This is the *checks notes* tenth year where I’m not in a position to visit. Maybe one day 🤞

@jhuskisson @philrandall Slow start but I’m pretty hooked on it now. It also got me into watching SAS: Rogue Heroes which is another fantastic WW2 documentary-drama.

@philrandall Good subscription - 90% of their shows are worth watching, so you'll have a deep backlog after this one too.
