reinteractive delivers a comprehensive App Review for Ruby on Rails. Needless to say over the years we have found some incredible things here are my top 5 good and bad (all real examples for production apps!) (a thread)

whats everyone reading in AI land right now that I can grab as an audio book?

@TokioLotus @CigsMake I don't think the screen culture is any different here sadly

@eSquareDesign @CigsMake Grew up in 90s/00s mall culture, and it was just as packed as in the video. A lot of American malls were centered on entertainment and movie theaters built in. Movie/food/clothing was a social thing. Now, we are all isolated in our homes and extremely anti-social due to screens.

The most radicalizing videos on the internet are from about 40 years ago when malls were packed

@PennyforthII @CigsMake That makes sense

@eSquareDesign @CigsMake Malls took a massive hit because we overbuilt them in the US. Lately the survivors have been recovering, and some are thriving again. It seems an equilibrium has been reached.

@Urban_Immerser @CigsMake Interesting

@eSquareDesign @CigsMake Australia has supermarkets in malls and our malls have also evolved to be more entertainment focused. Because there are fewer of them per capita, they were able to evolve.

@FredboM @CigsMake We have Amazon here too...

@eSquareDesign @CigsMake Amazon. Amazon happened.

@joseph_h_garvin Even if it can run that long it shouldn't. Their is an inevitability of bugs that need to be found by manual testing. Test after every ticket and you will save time (nothing has changed in this regard)

Claude code rarely runs for longer than 15m without stopping and asking for input from me. How do all these stories of people letting agents run overnight work? Custom harnesses? Yelling at Claude in all caps to keep going no matter what?

@CuriosityonX Lucky humans don't have the brain size of a fish

The invisible Glass experiment Scientists once placed a transparent glass barrier inside an aquarium. On one side was a fierce pike, and on the other side were several smaller fish swimming freely. When the hungry pike saw the smaller fish, it immediately rushed forward to attack. Bang. It slammed straight into the glass and bounced back. Confused, the pike kept trying again and again, but every attempt ended the same way. The repeated collisions injured its head and knocked off some of its scales. Eventually, the pike became frightened and retreated to a corner of the tank. After some time, the scientists quietly removed the glass barrier. The smaller fish now swam freely throughout the aquarium, even brushing against the pike’s mouth. But the pike never tried to eat them again. Even though it was hungry, it refused to attack. In its mind, the invisible wall was still there. A few days later, the pike reportedly died of starvation, surrounded by food. This phenomenon is often referred to as the Pike Effect or Pike Syndrome. It’s often used as a metaphor for how repeated failure can create invisible limits in the mind.

@DemoniacoASX Or ban them in casinos first?

$1.1m lost every hour Pokies need to be banned outside of casinos. They are a plague on society. Literally nothing good comes from them. smh.com.au/national/nsw/1…

@zilasino If you're using mostly AI tools, it is also the safest

Is Rails still the fastest way to build a serious MVP in 2025?

@VigilantFox Carlson' s entire bit is using semantics to make people look bad

A reporter asks Tucker Carlson if Israel has a “right to exist.” Tucker flips the question right back and asks her to define what “right to exist” means. And then this happened.

@CyrusShepard that's google.com - been done already

Using AI to create a website that contains every possible sentence in the world so I can rank in Google for everything 🤯📈

@chinafutureclub Nope - I'm in Melbourne and the roads were packed today. Shopping centers are full as well

Friends in Australia telling me petrol prices are so bad the roads are quiet. Is this true? The war only started 3 weeks ago!

@nikitabier @WallStreetApes Nikita with the receipts

@WallStreetApes In the last 48 hours, you got 12.3 million impressions. You also posted 118 times. There are other posters that we sometimes need to give visibility too.

I love it when Codex tells me that a bug was real. It's as if it was prepared for me to have been making the bug up as user error, but was surprised to find that it was actually a real bug

@LinusEkenstam Amazing technology, but whats the use case (don't say food delivery pleeeeease)

No just have 1000 of these chasing you down…

@jespr stopped paying $60 per month and built my own

Does anyone have some accounting software they like? I'm currently using QuickBooks and it's not ...great - i feel like half the stuff i search for shows up half the time

@nikitabier My experience is that articles already get les exposure on X than a regular post. Now we are reducing them down to just a post anyway. What's the point?

We’re rolling out summaries for Articles now. Just tap the Summarize button if you want to know if it’s worth your time to read it (or if your attention span is 12 seconds).

@jtimsuggs Imagine they are tree tops further away down hill, so we only see the tops. When the reverse angle happens we are positioned between the trees and Luke, so the trees being behind the camera are out of shot. That's not what happened here, but it might help :)

Forever obsessed with these bushes in the original Star Wars film from 1977 that magically disappear in-between shots

@Shpigford But was anyone cooked?

the fact that anyone thought i was serious is a perfect commentary on the state of this site.
