With these price cuts I can’t make a dent in my Codex limits running Luna on max for everything.

This sentiment pervades every corner of Reddit and it's silly. Apart from about a year in the pandemic bubble, it was never easy to get a job as a programmer.

DeepSeek v4 Flash Free in OpenCode performs much better than I expected. I find myself reaching for it where I might otherwise reach for Sonnet.

AI moved the bottleneck in software dev. Writing code is now the fast part, but most team rituals were designed around code being slow. This dev makes a case for questioning all of them. { author: @joshsaintjacque.com } dev.to/joshsaintjac...

Code Got Cheaper. Our Rituals Didn’t Notice.

Much of the modern software development lifecycle was built around code being expensive and hard to...

Had so much fun making this. The View Transition API is so powerful. #css #js #rails

On the same day OpenAI offers businesses two months of free usage to just to try it out, Anthropic nerfs Claude's subscription subsidy by 25x for programmatic uses. Anthropic needs to put a product person in the driver's seat before they drive off a cliff.

Finally got around to collecting together Ruby resources into one place. Some really cool stuff in here.

Awesome Ruby

Software teams built rituals for a world where code was expensive. AI didn’t make software easy. It moved the bottleneck.

The entire software development lifecycle was built around code being expensive and hard to change. Now that it's the fast part, so many of our processes need to be questioned and deconstructed.

Clean Code

Code is written once but read and changed constantly, so optimize for clarity, intent, and safe modification.

How do you do, fellow kids? #SpotifyWrapped

Being on call when AWS goes down is like being on a bucket brigade on the sun.

Raycast's clipboard history is actually really nice. I bind it to cmd+shift+v and it's very handy.

@hankgreen.bsky.social's take on Sora 2 misses something crucial: it's entirely about data. It's a platform for humans to provide massive amounts of free training data to OpenAI by viewing/engaging/remixing videos.

Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist.

Yep.

Scientists say X (formerly Twitter) has lost its professional edge — and Bluesky is taking its place

After Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, many scientists report the platform is no longer suitable for professional use. A recent survey indicates that researchers are increasingly turning to Bluesky...

Watching someone you admire descend into madness in realtime is an awful feeling.

With GitHub's launch of its own CLI/TUI for AI we now have Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, and Copilot CLI. The competition in this space is crazy.

Slack is fine. If you're more excited to open Discord than Slack it's probably because you use it for fun things. If you had to use it for work you'd feel the joy sucked out of it, too.

Man ChatGPT cuts deep 🥲

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

Thiel is the same guy who argued that monopolies are actually good for consumers. Guess I should get a refund on all those econ courses I took in college.

I've heard billionaires make some creative arguments to discourage regulation, but Peter Thiel warning that regulating AI will bring forth the Antichrist is truely something special.

Some good points here about the problems with defaulting to React. I'd go a little further and say many of these team don't need a frontend framework at all, see HTMX, Hotwire, and so on. https://www.lorenstew.art/blog/react-won-by-default

Oh, you want a text confirmation of the payment? Just enter your number... again... Also, THIS TIME IT FORMATS IT FOR YOU WTF

And a $7 service fee for the privilege of paying my ticket...

Paying a traffic ticket and the website requires I add the hyphens to my phone number. The effort required to build that validation is about the same as just formatting it on the server but that's done of my business...

It's neat that Tailwind has child selectors and all but I wonder if at this point you should just use a stylesheet.

It's been a decade and I still run into neat little things buried in Rails. say_with_time "Reverting all service rates to nil." do Service.update_all( :rate, nil ) end # Output -- Reverting all service rates to nil. -> 0.3451s -> 2233 rows
