Why does the latest Stream Deck update require 770 MB on my hard disk? It's just a tiny panel with a few programmable buttons 🤨
TUIs are the hot thing right now. ✨ I'm sure, Claude Code had some influence here. Funnily, I grew up with TUIs, just like this one 😅
The usage limits of Codex 5.3 are insane compared to Opus 4.6 🤯 It’s almost impossible to exhaust them. And I didn’t notice much difference in results so far.
I will never understand why Apple Mail is so freaking bad. Search almost never works. Email content is visible in the preview but doesn’t load when opening the message. Sort order of messages gets messed up occasionally. It’s not a complicated product. I don’t even ask for AI at this point. 😩
This is wild. 🤯 Not even 3 months ago ClawdBot came into existence. A bit later, Anthropic enforced a name change on that open source project, which is now called OpenClaw. And now OpenClaw is joining OpenAI. If you target the perfect pain point, anything is possible.
Claude usage limits hit like quitting smoking all over again. You don’t realize how deep the habit runs until it’s suddenly gone. Alright, switching back to Codex for now. 😅
Instead of getting Sonnet 5, Claude is crashing for me all day 😔
From what I see around me, non-engineers far outnumber engineers when it comes to using OpenClaw. 🦀 With all the cool things you can do with such a tool, I’m worried that many users have no idea about the dangers of prompt injections.
How long does it take to start writing the proper year number in all dates after a new year starts? 🤪
One of my first printers 🖨️ was ready to go after I turned it on. The next one took a few seconds to be ready. A few printers later it got worse and worse. 😒 My current printer does all sorts of 💩 for minutes before I can send it a print job. 😡 Are we moving backwards with print technology?

After waiting for 3.5 hours now, I regret upgrading to Tahoe. 😞 It looks like I bricked my laptop. 🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱 I still hope the upgrade will finish early 2026 🤞
That moment when you plug in your laptop in the last second. Pure adrenaline! 😅
Great to be back at @reactsummit.gitnation.org in Amsterdam 🇳🇱 Watching Bun talk by @jarredsumner.com
Why is there still no nested search 🔍 capability in VSCode? "Files to include" should allow to reuse the last search results. This would be such a low hanging fruit and would make the search 100x more powerful.
Web dev sales pitch then and now. [ 10 years ago ] Web dev: I will build this website with these features for X. Customer: My nephew can do it for 10% of the price. [ Today ] Web dev: I will build this website with these features for X. Customer: I will vibe code it myself in under 20 minutes.
In the age of ChatGPT and all the other AI innovations, I don’t get why Alexa & Siri still suck. 🤯 It’s like talking to a very old person with bad hearing. You ask for a simple task and you get an unrelated response. Or better yet, my Alexa pretends to be completely deaf sometimes. Frustrating 😠
Building a language in 10 days and it’s still being used after 30 years is so impressive. 🧠

Ruby code is sometimes hard to read. Here are 4 ways to write the same IF statement 🙈
Coming from iTerm2, I really like @warp.dev 💜 Workflows with dynamic params are just magical 🪄 and make my life so much easier. Would love to see those features coming soon: 1. Define your own keybindings for switching to next/previous tab 2. Merging tabs into split view Keep going 🚀
Trying a new restaurant today. I love the design concept already 🍃 Hopefully the food will be tasty too 🤤
