🔴 We're LIVE right now with Roxy Rodriguez-Becker (@RoxanaCodes) for the @WeAreDevs weekly stream. On this episode we're talking about the important topics, and here's a screenshot to prove it 🪠

Live stream featuring Daniel Cranney and Roxy Rodriguez-Becker discussing bathroom cubicle design, with a related website displayed.

“I’ve got 5000 agents, doing absolutely nothing” 🤣🤣 So many people came up to me at WeAreDevelopers in San Jose and said they loved Kelsey Hightower’s talk because he called devs out for stuff we’re all doing, but probably shouldn’t be.

This is actually the first time I’ve actually come close to maxing out my @AnthropicAI Claude Code pro plan weekly usage, and even then it’s only 81% and due to renew 🤷‍♂️ When devs complain of hitting limits quickly, surely it’s because of 24/7 agents and not bothering to reduce/limit token usage?

The screen displays usage statistics for a service, showing 11% of the current session and 81% of weekly limits utilized.

Every time I think I'm actually half-decent at recording videos, I come to edit and realise how poor my English is. I don't have a SINGLE TAKE where I say the T in 'what'. Couldn't be more Bri'ish if I tried, innit* Anyway, hundreds of hours of video from San Jose now on the @WeAreDevs app 👇

Did Claude make a DNA discovery? How quickly can an LLM clone a voice? Did a criminal live stream his crime on insta? @andrewdmaclea did @twilio proud on Fake or News 👏 A new high score, and he avoided @codepo8's technicality traps like a pro 🏆👀 (sorry @TasonJorres @dianasoyster !)

In just over 15mins @codepo8 and I kick off the @WeAreDevs Warm-up Day with a VERY live WeAreDevelopers LIVE, Fake or News XXL and more, so come nerd out with us on the Outdoor Stage (right by Duck Norris, you can’t miss him!) 🦆 💻

People are out there building billion-dollar companies with AI. …Meanwhile I’m finding Untitled chats I must have started with Claude consisting of ‘and there we go’ and nothing else. We are not the same 🙃

I'm about to start packing for the @WeAreDevs World Congress North America so I'll be taking @eddiejaoude's advice for digital nomads and wearing 8 hoodies, 17 t-shirts and a motorbike helmet on the plane.

Yesterday, Bebo closed after being launched in 2005 🥹 I'll be honest i didn't even know it was still going, and quite like the idea that there were people still using their profiles from the pre-Myspace days. Enjoy website heaven, Bebo, you will not be forgotten.

Twitter.... is back?! Okay not quite, but somebody has launched a company called Twitter, arguing that X gave up the rights to the name (and even the word "tweet") when they changed their name. Brb i'm off to build MySpace.

A blue bird holds a banner with a whale below it, set against a bright blue background, promoting a new platform called twitter.now.

It should be criminal to follow/chat to someone online for like 6 years and not meet. I've been following @eddiejaoude since I joined socials, and (somehow) we've never met, even virtually. ...Until now 😏 Weds 11:30 BST (12:30 CEST), I'm FINALLY gonna verify if Eddie is real.

This is good news and we all agree, right? Right?! I mean aside from the obvious and ongoing copyright/IP issues regarding models stealing licensed content etc... AI music just sucks and feels like the audio version of the boomer slop AI videos your grandpa shares on Facebook 🤷‍♂️

Madness. Sold a TV years ago on Marketplace, ended up giving the guys a lift (with the TV) to their house, because they were students and had travelled on the bus. Turns out they studied the same degree as me, so I gave some advice. 2 years later, they send this.... 🤯
