Claude having a moment right when my weekly limit reset's is not helping. I’m basically living inside that XKCD outage graph — everything fine until the exact second I need it.

A simple line graph labeled ‘Service Outage.’ The x‑axis shows time and the y‑axis shows productivity. The line begins high, stays steady, then suddenly plunges straight down when a major online service experiences an outage.

Hot take 🔥: agentic loops don’t care about your commute. My laptop closes its lid 💻😴, my wifi wobbles on the train 📶💀, and suddenly my AI agent is just… vibing in a half-finished thought. Laptops are becoming glorified remote controls.

Got an email titled “GitHub Code Quality GA is July 20.” I almost deleted it — thought it was just another GA announcement. Then I actually read it and went: hold up… they’re auto‑starting billing? $10 per active committer/month + AI usage. What!?

AI coding tools have changed how I work. I barely open IDEs now and I did not renew my #Rider license. That money is better used for my AI budget. It makes me wonder what this shift means for the future of IDEs.

If you are using Claude, chrome-devtools-mcp. The MCP tool results stay in context for the rest of the session. /compact to flush them. Or do the devtools troubleshooting in a throw away session.

Well this is massive: - Every non-US company sees how they can be cut off from US vendors with a snap of a finger. Non-US vendors getting free advertisement - What does this mean for US AI labs’ offices and employees outside the US? Reads pretty draconian What a mess

And yes, the potential impact could big even for US companies who employ even a single non-citizen. Anthropic shut down the model for everyone for now, but what the order asks for seems like a nightmare to implement without drastic Chinese walls inside a co... bsky.app/profile/kaip...

Re: Every non-US company sees how they can be cut off from US vendors Are you not underselling the impact? Anthropic is writing: „any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees"

Claude design is going to change the UX landscape. It’s clearly v0 product at the moment. When it can iterate with Claude code, it’s going to be spectacular. Wow… what does this mean for people in this space?

Do you know, why there hasn’t been a new UI framework launched lately? Because they are all building AI agent framework. Wonder which are going to survive long term??

Hate the custom devops abstractions organisations insist on creating on top of standard cloud formation or terraform etc. Makes your knowledge of the tools useless and you have to learn this internal framework. Understand why it is being done, but surely there is a better way.

Copilot CLI tip 💡 Switch models mid-session to get a second opinion. Have Claude build your solution, then switch to GPT to review. Or vice versa. Different models catch different things. Use that to your advantage.

Repeat after me: The best software engineers pick up a new language in a few weeks. They can become pretty good in a month or two. The best devs also don’t get bogged down with one language. ESPECIALLY not today when AI makes onboarding to new languages so much easier
