gabby@fullmoon.id · 6mo agoHere is one of the dumbest things about vibe coding that I don't see a lot of people talking about Imagine you're an open source maintainer and someone opens up a pull request against your repository that they vibe coded. They may or may not tell you they vibe coded it; it doesn't really matter… 🧵

So that happened. GitHub described me as an "AI Coding Pioneer" right alongside @angiejones.tech and @simonwillison.net during the opening keynote at GitHub Universe!
@darrylktaft.bsky.social reports on how Block rolled out AI agents to 12,000 employees in just two months. VP of Engineering @angiejones.tech reveals key lessons from the massive deployment.

Finally, our advisor team: @angiejones.tech is a VP of Engineering at @block.xyz @jason.energy is the creator of CodeTV and hoping this "pen in the hat" thing catches on as a fashion trend
As a dev, there are a lot of things I miss or grunt work I don't enjoy where AI can help me work faster. Experts like @angiejones.tech and Simon Willison have discussed this But using AI as a cudgel to put pressure on devs to improve by a made up number like "5x" lest they get laid off is bad
404 Media@404media.co · 10mo agoNEW: an internal Meta message we obtained tells employees on its metaverse team that they should be using AI to “go 5x faster”. That's 5 times faster, not 5 percent more www.404media.co/meta-tells-w...

Given the current market, I've been thinking a lot about the next generation of builders. They're AI-native but may not have professional experience yet. They just need someone to take a chance on them. Here's that opportunity: Block Builder Fellowship block.xyz/builder-fell...
Now streaming for everyone: 3 teams of devs had 4 hours to build apps that use something other than a keyboard or mouse for input. @leonnoel.bsky.social, @ericaxtech.bsky.social, @kentcdodds.com, @joelhooks.com, Billy, & @zig.computer took the challenge Watch now: codetv.link/wdc/s2e10
Tried subrecipes in goose yet? They’re like microservices for your AI agent, except nobody’s arguing over the logging library. * Recipes = repeatable step-by-step workflows 🔁 * Subrecipes = workflows calling other modular workflows 🔁 ➡️🔁 block.github.io/goose/blog/2...
Automate Your Complex Workflows with Sub-Recipes in goose
Did you know you can call recipes from within other recipes? Learn how to orchestrate multiple AI tasks using goose subrecipes.

POV: you build a free, open source AI agent and your whole team can’t stop talking about it 🔥
In today's episode of "real AI use cases outside the IDE", one of our engineering teams had Goose review their bug fix PRs, then summarize trends and blind spots. Next, they'll bake that analysis into the repo and have a CI agent watch out for repeat issues 💪🏽
✨ The Goose Recipe Cookbook is LIVE ✨ Got a Goose setup that just works? Save it. Share it. & Let the community cook. 🎁 The first 50 approved recipes will receive $10 in OpenRouter LLM credits. Submit yours now: link in the comments Let's build a library of shareable Goose workflows together!
Not being nosy, I actually need your help. How much are you spending monthly on AI tools for personal projects outside of work per month?
Sure sex is great but have you ever deleted hundreds or even thousands of lines of code and everything still worked?
