Much of my career boils down to: All code is liability. Minimize it. Feedback loops are everywhere. Speed them up; do them more. We're bad at predicting the future. Avoid it. More tests. Hire smart, motivated people, then get out of their way. Find the right thing to turn off and on again.
Everyone loooooves data ownership until you have to move Donβt believe what big atproto tells you, records are NOT portable
watched the odyssey last night. film ruined by everyone speaking english instead of ancient greek.

Today, I set up synchub.to in my repos (previously used a GitHub action to sync repos to @tangled.org). The DX is just such a breeze. Thank you @danielroe.dev for always creating exactly the side projects that people currently need.

i want to spread the word about atproto. if youβre running a podcast, iβd be happy to hop in to talk about it. i understand it decently well and can explain it without much jargon. itβs one of the most interesting developments in the last 30 years of web, and i can defend that. please dm to set up!
Really great start at explaining @atproto.com to a non-technical audience. Excited to see the rest of the series @gui.do! π

@zed.dev is there a good example of using Zed with a local LLM (ollama, etc)? All the ones Iβve tried seem to be having issues with Zedβs tool calling but asking Claude and Googling hasnβt been able to figure out whatβs wrong with my config. May open an issue, but thought I should ask first.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Really interesting to hear about some of the things holding the Apple TV back. The Apple TV has always seemed like a waste of a lot of gaming potential, especially with Apple Arcade behind it.

I really relate to the sentiment in this article. AI coding agents have made me feel more productive, but the coding sessions themselves can often be more intense, and I feel more drained at the end of the day. #ai #vibecoding #burnout #sustainability
AI-assisted engineers are burning out, is this fine?βMartian Chronicles, Evil Martiansβ team blog
AI-assisted code generation is not free. It comes with a hidden cost: burnout. Are we dangerously ignorant to this problem? And how can we cope with it? In this post, we discuss this question.

Curious how many doctors are using these same systems in Alberta.
Ars Technica@arstechnica.com Β· 3mo agoThe fact that the Ontario government recommended AI summary systems with such obvious and potentially patient-harming flaws should give pause to any doctors (or their patients) making use of them.
A Codepen alternative strikes me as a really cool @atproto.com project. Perhaps with some @tangled.org integration for storing the content? Anyone seen any work in this space already?
