The best mental model isn't a new coworker—it's an exoskeleton. Ford's EksoVest cut injuries 83%. Sarcos gives 20:1 strength amplification. The same principle applies to AI: amplify humans, don't replace them. kasava.dev/blog/ai-as-exo…

Building in a monorepo isn't about abstract philosophies on design patterns for 'how we should work.' It's about velocity in an era where products change fast and context matters. AI is all about context. This monorepo is our company. kasava.dev/blog/everythin…

Claude Code is essential but 4 tools make it truly transformative for our development workflow. kasava.dev/blog/4-claude-… @firecrawl @playwrightweb @Steve_Yegge @mixedbreadai

Hot take -- the most valuable and least exciting use case for MCP is documentation. It's the only way we're able @mastra which is shipping new releases almost weekly kasava.dev/blog/mcp-for-d…

I know the algorithm doesn't want me to post links to essays on Twitter But I've been told to practice my social media by posting more frequently So here's an essay about how Cline is quietly eating Cursor's lunch and changing how we vibe code

@mattrickard Engineers have an absolute advantage over PMs wrt SQL? 🤔

Why you shouldn't learn SQL or how to code Comparative vs. Absolute Advantage

@mattrickard @vimcal

the existence of @vimcal implies the existence of emacs cal

@mattrickard What about @apachesuperset ?

It's interesting that OSS doesn't really produce any projects that have a GUI as the core component. My guess is that "design" design is hard to work on collaboratively with a flat organizational structure. OSS works best on problems with more objective choices.

@mattrickard A node is 5 credits, each of which is 12 units, made up of 7 fractals. It’s super straightforward.

Per node pricing doesn't make sense anymore for a lot of products. Pricing has to be comparable, predictable, and consistent. Now, what's a node? How long is it up?

@mattrickard Real question is what even is the full stack these days? So company / project dependent

Do you think the full-stack developer exists anymore?

@mattrickard Oh damn - Naspers at it again 👀

Stack Overflow sold for $1.8 billion to a holding company. A difficult business to directly monetize, but you would think that the worlds largest developer community would be worth a lot more to a strategic buyer. SO is a core piece of dev infra! wsj.com/articles/softw…

@mattrickard Also the weirdest interview question.

I never get when companies brag about how many lines of code they have. I want to do the thing in as few lines of code as possible!

@mattrickard That’s fucked up man.

@adamnash Thanks for coming to the People Ops class today! Wasn't able to ask this but is it appropriate to vary equity by locations with varying capital gains tax rates? Seems different from income comp as equity is long-term and people can move (e.g. earn in CA; sell in TX).

Had to read this through a couple times because I couldn't believe at first how dramatically Airflow just improved. Truly a new era. Huge congrats to the @ApacheAirflow PMC and @astronomerio team! astronomer.io/blog/airflow-2…

Anybody who's like "we'll that was a pretty good showing for Trump!" should consider how Hillary Clinton was treated as the World's Biggest Loser after an election with the same Electoral College margin as this one*. * But where she won the popular vote instead of losing it by 5

The best thing we could do for Joe is to get him a Democratic Senate. There should be coordination of resources. Everyone who campaigned for Joe should get ready to head to Georgia. I’ll go. It’s the only way to sideline Mitch and give Joe a unified government.

@FrankieWeldon It's hard to see a world where Fallout / Dishonored / etc is not cross-platform but I would be curious on how they handle DLC / exclusives (like Crystal Dynamics offering Spider-Man as a playable character only on the PS version of the new Avenger's game).

@benbeingbin Would like to hear what you think

IP and becoming a platform is the way to win this next console gen, and Valve has been sitting here with steam for like 16 years.
