The Casting Call Club app is out on iPhone and Android. Actually native, built from scratch for phones, not that crappy mobile web stuff. get it

I built a clone of Google Analytics because I hate Google Analytics. It's 33% more accurate than GA for boring technical reasons. I could have just paid for Plausible/Fathom though

Starlink's signal leakage is bleeding into the frequencies radio astronomy depends on. We're filling the sky with the thing that stops us looking at the sky. Someone get me off this planet.

Ask Claude how a specific Claude Code feature works and it will tell you to go and check Anthropic's documentation. I find this funnier than I probably should.

Whats the point making anything if it can just be slopped? I wrote 3 novels w/o AI just for the brain exercise. Nobody needed them to exist but I wanted them to exist, so I did it. srsly, sometimes you just gotta do things that bring you joy

The agent writes a pull request description so long nobody can find the point, so you open the agent again to summarise the description for you.

Everyone complaining that the viral single-serve sites on here are vibe coded, on a platform that is at least partly vibe coded, from a phone full of vibe coded apps.

Every time I need a specific little tool now I find three vibe coded repos for it. All abandoned four months ago, all very shiny, none of them work.

New study says 5 minutes of sprint intervals does about the same as 90 minutes of moderate cycling for some blood markers. Time for Dance Dance Revolution

I don't understand the multi agent stuff people are building. Mine is pretty simple: 1. Agent catches an error in production and kicks off an agent, which fixes the bug, runs the tests and opens a PR. 2. I review it over coffee. This has freed up a lot of time for me to create more bugs. ☕

Warden Loops: agent runs against CCC, 13 with a PR, 33 done, one open error with the agent verdict and a Pull request button

Rust is a tier-1 language at Microsoft now. The announcement page went down as soon as it hit the front page of HN because it runs on WordPress. I write Rails, Rust, Elixir, Python and JavaScript depending on the project, so I don't really have an opinion here. I just wanted to read the post.

Yesterday I replaced a social scheduler I was paying for with a Rails app an agent built from a spec: 9 platforms, a review queue, an MCP server so I draft posts from my terminal. This is the first post out of it. The subscribe-to-a-SaaS-for-every-tool era is ending. You just build the tool now.

How all my conversations in Europe go: Them: Where are you from? Are you German? Me: No, no. I'm American. Them: ...wow. You are the skinniest American I've ever seen. Me: Uh...thanks. Them: Are you on Ozempic?
