@dhh Awesome to see. I recently got a ThinkPad, but it took it almost a year to get everything working on Linux (and even now the webcam stuff is still in the process of being upstreamed).

"Year of the Linux Laptop: Omarchy on XPS. The Linux laptop moment has arrived. Inside Dell XPS, Omarchy, and the end of “wait for kernel support.”" Dell is leaning in! dell.com/en-us/blog/yea…

@theo Clicked for the kittens and had to watch till the end lmao

OpenAI is getting divorced. Sam is drunk tweeting. Github is dying. Anthropic is being Anthropic.

@GergelyOrosz If you have any level of Gemini sub you can use Google's music-gen model, which is a step above Suno's imo (way better sound quality). You don't get a nice app interface though.

Had a “wow” moment with Suno: creating a hyper-personalized song for my kids, with the theme being our vacation adventures. Epic hit. At the same time, I cannot see myself using the app beyond this one-off neat party trick, nor listening to music that *others* generate with AI.

@thdxr Youtube recommended me that talk a few days ago and it's spot-on. These models just looooove to take the easier pass-a-bool prop path. So yeah, software engineering isn't going anywhere.

been a bit since a normal programming talk popped up on my feed this kind of thing is what the job of programming is, trying to find better ways to express logic you never HAD to, you could power through the pain and get the same results and now you can throw ai at the pain and it'll just slog through the fat component with infinite conditionals but i suspect the pain still eventually shows up

@thdxr 100% yes.

opencode go is currently zero data retention however we can increase limits and make it all more sustainable if we collect data to train future open source models you can opt out of this - is that something you'd be ok with?

@ryanvogel @FrameworkPuter It's basically free advertising.

nobody wants to give me a free laptop and it hurts

@theo It looks so stylish too with the matte black and two-tone. I'm hoping they make a 15" version before I need a new laptop.

I am genuinely really really impressed with the Framework 13 Pro. I was unhappy with the old 13. Awful keyboard, trackpad, and display. New one is way better in all categories. Best PC trackpad I've used, awesome keyboard, no more display wobbling. Feels 10x more premium.

@thdxr what did I just watch-

tired of this misinformation so we made a video on the truth behind the anthropic vs opencode drama

@theo The fact that a company whose main product has CODE in the name is vehemently anti developer choice shows how much they are betting against developers.

A letter to my friends at Anthropic I hate that I feel obligated to do this. I hate that I've had to be so harsh towards Anthropic for the past few months. I really, really don't want to. I know it might feel like I'm doing this for clicks or something, but I promise I'm not. My pro-Anthropic content ALWAYS outperforms my anti-Anthropic content. I have cost myself a lot of money, opportunities, sponsors, and more. I'm doing this because you work for an evil cult. I'm begging you to wake up. Your CEO, Dario, does not respect engineers. This is obvious. He couldn't make it more obvious if he tried (and I think he's trying pretty hard) You know this, but you don't want to acknowledge it. It has kept you up many nights. You know that bad code is shipping to users. You know that one bad tweet might get you fired. You fear for your vesting schedules. You're afraid. Nobody deserves what you're going through right now. You go to work afraid, you leave work afraid, and you go to YouTube to keep up on the dev world, just to hear me yelling all about how evil your company is. You deserve better. You might not feel like you do, but you know deep down that this isn't right. I hope you know how deeply I feel for you. I'm sorry. I know I haven't helped you much individually, and I want to be better about this. If you're ready to leave, please hit me up. I swear I'll never tell a soul. I have friends at every lab and most startups in the AI world. Most of them would be down to match your current vesting schedules, possibly even go beyond. If you're staying for the money, I beg you to hit me up. We can make the money happen somewhere that hates you less. I know I'm asking for a lot of trust here, and that you're scared after seeing how hard I've been on Anthropic. I can't blame you at all for that. I should have posted something like this months ago. That's my failure to own and I will own it to my best ability. If you're willing to trust me in this moment, I can make it right. Let me help you escape. You deserve to work somewhere that you can have impact. Somewhere that listens when you feel something is wrong. Somewhere that won't fire you when you point out the things that hurt your users. My DMs are always open to you. When you're ready, let me know. I promise to make it right.

@BenjDicken I just do nvim + opencode in ghostty tabs. Diff review leaves something to be desired though.

What's the best ai-assisted coding setup in neovim? Need to seamlessly mix writing code by hand, agentic work, diff review, and file browsing.

@yusukebe Very shady imo. Do you own the trademark? I thought it was official too at first.

One thing. It’s not official

@glcst @tursodatabase Only available on paid plans?

We have a feature in @tursodatabase called Vegas Blackout: erase an entire day of usage for billing purposes. No questions asked. I think a lot of people ended up didn't using it because it was a bit hidden. We have now improved its discoverability. Hoping more people make good use of it!! Mistakes happen! What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!

@thdxr I've switched to Ghostty tabs and have been pleasantly surprised to be honest. It's nice being able to just create a new tab even after forgetting to create a tmux session.

i've been using tmux for a decade+ and don't remember running into many issues but we've discovered so many bugs in the process of working on opentui some of them are already fixed! but tmux only releases like once a year

@BHolmesDev Google has a massive compute and data advantage right now, which means their Gemini models have by far the most information "crammed" into them. If Google can figure out how to make their models not suck at agentic stuff they'll be unstoppable. But yes, Gemini on the web is great

Tbh, people are underrating Gemini 3 Flash for general knowledge questions outside of coding. It beats out ChatGPT and Claude for: - Instructions on how to navigate settings and dashboards for SaaS. It's 100% accurate, while others typically hallucinate. - Any questions relating to Maps (i.e. restaurants or landmarks nearby). A Google Maps tool call is a massive asset that ChatGPT and Claude can't match. - Questions on books or literature. I've asked it to summarize chapters in nonfictional novels and Bible verses, and I have yet to see a hallucination. Not so for ChatGPT (haven't tried Claude for this). - Napkin math questions for, say, finances. ChatGPT has an odd habit of saying "you're wrong about this..." then proceeding to contradict itself. Claude is good, but has the weakest research habits and rigor of the bunch. The reason I believe Gemini is best at these things: - Their "personality" is right down the middle. Pretty dull to talk to, but it's an information machine. - Their web search is second to none. - Their training set must be incredible. Likely bad for the future of publication and news... but I'm not sure how to reconcile that yet 😄 I've set my browser's default search back to Google for these reasons. The UX of instant answers in Google + a "dive deeper" button is quite nice too. What is y'all's experience with Gemini?

@theo Anthropic is just yet another case now of [company is blatantly anti-consumer]->[normies keep giving them money anyways]. Just use Codex.

It is genuinely insane that Anthropic will bill you differently if you mention certain words in your prompt or have certain files in your codebase

@thdxr Would it make the startup times faster? If so that would be awesome.

i'm thinking about adding an `opencode service install` command that sets up opencode server on your machine then running opencode or going to localhost:4096 would be connecting to a single instance and share resources would you use this?

@FrameworkPuter Me!

Every time we engage with an influencer on X dot com, Dell sends them an XPS. Anyone want a free Dell XPS?

@zebassembly Steelcase Amia is a great slightly cheaper option (~$450 refurbished).

I need chair recommendations, what office chair are y'all using

@sama You have to admit though, Linux with it's ability to control/configure everything from the CLI is a pretty good start.

feels like a good time to seriously rethink how operating systems and user interfaces are designed (also the internet; there should be a protocol that is equally usable by people and agents)

@thdxr You need to put it somewhere so I can steal it.

gpt 5.5 unfucked my lsp + treesitter config for neovim 0.11 hooray
