@huge_icons I think the standard definition of coding is pretty straightforward to understand, i.e., ‘coding is writing sequences of instructions in a language a computer can interpret and execute to perform tasks.’

If your grandmother asked what coding is, how would you explain it? 🤔

@MindTheToken @X Latest project; librecode is minimal Pi like agent without the web stack overhead :3 github.com/omarluq/librec…

Hey @X algorithm - help me find OSS builders! If you're building an open source project, I can help.. Send the repo link and I will give you a scan and feedback!

@YashHustle_22 I made my own github.com/omarluq/librec…

@arcbjorn how is the integrated terminal?

Honestly feels like the pinnacle of code editor experience right now. It’s as light and blazingly fast on any moderate hardware as NeoVim when it’s needed. The Vim motions implementation is a chef’s kiss. So it totally captures old school senior engineers. It’s fully featured for the majority of mainstream languages as a true classic flagship editor when it’s needed — very easy to set up. Capturing the majority of engineers. And when needed, it rivals the best agentic coding editors with its own thread implementation and concurrent agents view. So now it captures non-technical folks — vibe coding looks pretty slick. Testing Zed since the private beta back in 2022 was an interesting experience. Seeing it grow is mesmerising. Best-in-class pair coding experience, best-in-class rendering performance, and the ability to just switch off AI when it’s not needed then switch back to a fully fledged editor. It truly feels like NeoVim 2.0. It’s virtually winning in most types of coding tool competitions (even competing with dedicated agent harnesses), except for JetBrains products which are also awesome and incredible feats of engineering, in a league of their own with a slightly different philosophy. It’s very inspiring to see the @zeddotdev team making the right decisions one after another, especially with the latest open source and license changes. Amazing job from super smart engineers.

@zeeg @mitchellh 100000% i didn't wanna name drop shad in my reply but you did it for me ty! prior to the AI design uptick every website was basically just plain shadcn

@omarluqq @mitchellh Everyone’s random thing looked like shadui or linear tbh

If you want to know what giveaway LLM design is, this is it: thin colored borders, gradients, glow effects, too many different font sizes, small fonts too small, inconsistent padding and alignment (especially vertical). Not a dunk on @zeeg he’s being transparent about it. And he’s a good AI driver and good developer in general. But using this moment to show people how obvious this is.

@mitchellh @zeeg I don't disagree some of these quirks have been overused the past few months, but compared to the stale designs we had before AI, it's still fairly fresh. Pre AI, strong gradients, glowing effects, and all these fun design elements were almost taboo.

@omarluqq @zeeg This is exactly not quirky. The definition of quirky is unconventional. This is the most common convention currently. It’s mainstream in the most boring way.

@icanvardar Well funding = money = marketing = customers no?

most founders don’t need funding they need customers

@yarotheslav env vars are so universal it never made sense to me to use anything else tbh

The more I work with Rails credentials, the more I like env vars. I am however looking forward to Rails 8.2 that will land Rails.creds, and make a lot of files cleaner.

@shcallaway Learned that the hard way over the past 3 months lol :')

To all of my technical friends who are thinking of starting companies, I have some bad news: you're going to have to write a lot of emails.

Just realized I haven’t updated my vim plugins in 3 months, truly the lowest point of my career :(

Every time I skip UUID for primary keys, I live to regret it. Every. Fucking. Single. Time.

I'm looking for a Founding Account Executive to join us at @Zuneshaai more details in link, drop me a DM if interested wellfound.com/l/2CjvdT

@rockorager @ClaudeDevs @AmpCode @FactoryAI Nice 🔥 nothing to be embarrassed about; killer response time 🔥

@omarluqq @ClaudeDevs @AmpCode @FactoryAI Hot damn, I'm embarrassed you found one...fixed.

I genuinely don't understand how all these coding harnesses with huge enterprise money behind them completely fucking suck at a small problem like rendering text to a terminal without flicker. @ClaudeDevs, @AmpCode, and @FactoryAI all start flickering within the first 10 minutes of real usage. I built github.com/omarluq/librec… in 2 weeks in Go and it doesn't flicker at all. Why? Because I chose the right damn tool for the job.

@Codat_V Yeah I made it :3 its great if you ask me lol

@omarluqq Have you used it ?? how is it ??

Which AI coding workflow are you actually using right now ?? Codex Claude Code Cursor Antigravity Copilot And do you trust it with your whole repo ??
