those of you with company limits on token spend, what do you do when you hit your limit? do you flip back to typing out code? or do you just stop working

Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)
![Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreifdsd32pjwefxji33c5eferlek4o6kkadoosqisb5uatqjmrq4q4q)

this is super cool (in theory; i have not tested) i think in general we're moving towards the world where the most valuable software output is a spec (tests / types / api)

Props to @scott.hanselman.com for naming the elephant in the room in big tech. AI coding tools boost senior engineers but create challenges for juniors who lack context to judge outputs. Cutting junior hiring for near-term gains weakens the future pipeline. We’ll need apprenticeship-style paths.

I worked on a few fairly prominent efforts in open source (Istio, OpenAPI), but I think of all of them, it’s gRPC that I think has the coolest story. Pull up a chair and set for a spell (any inaccuracies in what follows are 100% my fault for having a bad memory!).

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.
En estas fechas siempre me pongo nostálgico. Recuerdo este mismo día pero de hace años, mi madre cocinando el pavo mientras mi padre veía el partido de football con mi hermano. Nunca me interesó demasiado el deporte, así que aprovechaba ese rato para estar leyendo en mi cuarto.
Welp, turns out it’s not real. Just opening DevTools makes all timers 5-100× slower, due to the overhead of capturing stack traces. Even if you do nothing else (don’t record performance, etc)! Guess who accidentally spent a weekend optimizing this 😅 (h/t @paul.irish for explaining why)
Ivan Akulov@iamakulov.com · 11mo agoWhy are native setTimeout and clearTimeout calls so expensive? Like, here it takes 1.5 ms. What’s the technical reason it’s so slow? Just 100-200 of those in a row (trivial if you’re mounting a bunch of React components that set timers) will easily block the page.
