I am searching for strategies to reduce the complexity of #AI generated #code. And all articles just suggest to do better reviews. What?

So, now that #Trakt is going further downhill, I decided to move to Scrob. Setup took 20 min, imported everything from Trakt (export your data now, before they make it VIP-only!). Working like a charm, even with Jellyfin. Highly recommend! 🤩 github.com/ellite/scrob

It's just incredibly hostile behavior what the team of #Trakt is doing. Deleted my API application that I was using for over a year. Disabled the OneDrive export of my data. All without a single notification. Whoever is in charge there: fuck you. I delete my account.

Maintaining critical software now comes with a security burden that has outgrown what any volunteer can reasonably carry. That's why we're upgrading our open source program from the Team plan to the Business plan, full protection for maintainers at no cost. socket.dev/blog/free-bu...

I absolutely adore the new design of the @cloudflare.social dashboard. Those 3D-ish buttons have neat Web 2.0 vibes. 😍

In some parallel universe, we have all agreed on 2026-08-06 being the one and only date format. Sadly we are in this universe, where Lucidchart shows the confusing US format despite having all locale options set to German. 🙄

TIL there are fiber optics HDMI cables. Yes you read that right, fiber optics HDMI cables.

Another dev survey alert💡 no option to hype your fave technology this time, but this one is human centric and the questions are far more interesting: survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

#Claude replicates human behavior, sadly the bad ones too. 😐 My local Agent configuration contains strict working rules. After breaking those rules multiple times, Claude explained it's just a habit and rewording the rules would probably not help. Well....

I thought about moving to #Codeberg a few times already, even donated to support their cause. But I find it deeply worrying that a platform dedicated to free software now starts to dictate which software is allowed. Feels like some neckbeard AI-haters turned Codeberg into a weapon.

I anyone else who's using Paddle for payments, receiving marketing #spam from #Stripe telling that Paddle is bad and one should switch to Stripe? 6 mails in the past weeks, even after opt-out, even after personal feedback to the sales guy. That's not okay.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

Is anyone else working with #Codex 5.5 and noticed that this model loves to make everything as complex as possible? Like why put the solution into a 20 line function when you can get 20 functions instead, each filled to the brim with complicated code?! 😐 #aihorror #aicoding

People praise the newest models like #Codex 5.5, yet I encounter many significant logic holes in what they produce. And it's tedious to explain all the context to a bot that forgets it three prompts later. #AI is not the answer to most of the problems we have today, not even that of limited time.

I was kinda burnt-out at the end of last year. I felt like there's so much to do, yet too little to to tackle anything. For the past two months, I've been experimenting with the "1% rule": instead of few heavy lifts, I did smaller things but like every day. #opensource #maintainers #coding

"The internet is dead! 😵" I can't hear this anymore. That's why I wrote a blog article about that. Because the #internet is not dead! blog.woblick.dev/en/2026/the-...

Could we all please stop this ridiculous automated closing of GitHub issues?! Or at least set sensible defaults like 9 months, and not 30 days? #github #opensource #rant

Been using #Pushover for over a decade now. Zero problems. Zero downtime. I donated a few times because it's weird to get such a great, useful service for free. Whoever runs it, props to you! 💛
