I can accept if a junior tells me they don’t know why something is not working, but I can’t accept it when they tell me they don’t know why something DO work. Is it only me?
Is hiring a good enough reason to do a full app rewrite from #flutter to #reactnative? Yay or Nay?
Man, the amount of scam devs that reach out to you when you post anything on tech #discord is fucking impressive
Would you let an AI agent merge to prod on a Friday? I spent yesterday playing with #Codex and was blown away at how easily it handled the chore tasks. Should I go the extra mile and grant it merge rights after a self-review?
This is quite old news: www.ft.com/content/1154... I wonder how to check if and how much this has gotten worse between 2023 and today.

Tell me now why I shouldn’t rewrite my entire backend and frontend into a TS monorepo. #typescript
We can state that the liberal world order has long disappeared — we simply chose not to notice that. Now, it is time to look at things realistically and adapt to the new reality. We do not yet know what the new world order will look like. It is emerging now, out of wars and conflicts⤵️
My notes on Anthropic's substantial essay about how they built their multi-agent research system, which has finally talked me around to taking multi-agent LLM prompt engineering seriously simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/14/...
Anthropic: How we built our multi-agent research system
OK, I'm sold on multi-agent LLM systems now. I've been pretty skeptical of these until recently: why make your life more complicated by running multiple different prompts in parallel when …

Officials in Minnesota were searching for the person who shot and killed State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, in what Gov. Tim Walz described as a politically motivated attack. The suspect also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife. Live updates: nyti.ms/3HGa3cc
Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.
Serendipitously ended up joining #Pride in Rome today…so much solidarity, love and defiance 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🇮🇹❤️❤️❤️
The fact that people turned out in huge numbers to protest in Minnesota even after a right-wing chud assassinated a Democratic member of the legislature is a good example of why we are going to win.
They think a couple of assassinations and a military parade are going to stop you from marching. Those that fuck around shall surely find out.

Meritocracy is kinda of a self-fulfilling profecy. Doesn’t really exist but without the concept the world would be way worse.
There are 2 important considerations to make here: 1. Stage of maturity of the comanpy 2. GTM Model (ie: B2B, B2C, etc) Early stage companies tends to benefit more from in-office, same goes for B2C and B2SMB in niche industries but for different reasons.
I have not paid a ton of attention to the uproar over RTO policies, bc we are all in on distributed teams and not going back. My impression (via social media) has been that these were shadow layoffs. Last month I asked an investor why they are doing RTO. He said: "Retention, mostly. And morale."
