Friends of mine in all kinds of careers (legal, interior design, artists, developers, business) are either (1) sad and gloomy about losing their craft to AI, or (2) having a lot of fun doing more with less, with AI. It's all a matter of perspective and motivation.

Former me loathed Rick Rubin. Now I'm realizing he was right and way ahead of his time.

How to survive in the AI information economy: you gotta be Rick Rubin maxxing. The thing he is bringing is not a set of mechanical skills (commoditized). What he is bringing is a unique set of tastes, perspectives, and values.

Me as a developer/designer: let's do a redesign. We'll inform the user with a tutorial, it'll be fine. Me as a user on an app I just opened: BLERGH NOOOO WHY DID YOU REDESIGN EVERYTHING. SKIP TUTORIAL SKIP SKIP SKIP

I measured, and I'm 7x more productive with AI 🤯 Blog post: staltz.com/i-am-7x-more...

@glauberkotaki.com o que vc acha de fazer joguinhos SNES homebrew? Tipo megacatstudios.com/products/lit... To usando AI ultimamente pra fazer todo tipo de side project no pouco de tempo livre que eu tenho, e tudo é possivel agora.

🎉 My blog is back, with a renewed layout, and a hopeful essay on the future of our profession in light of AI coding. staltz.com/from-coder-t...

Jesus offers true freedom. It's a feeling that cannot be taken away, unlike the freedom to fulfill desires which is contingent on your ability and possibility to pursue those desires. The sweet presence of the Holy Spirit is freedom that cannot be taken away by anyone or anything external. 🤍

My favorite little thing to add to prompts: "Respond tweet-like" "Explain this in 3 tweets"

Took just 10 years, but I made it! Cycle.js is now on devdocs.io 😭🥹 Thank you anonymous contributor for valuing the framework still 🤍

Looking at some C++ code I wrote in 2008, all by hand, formatted manually, without vim. It's mind blowing I had the patience for all this. Comments everywhere. What was wrong with me, this code is impeccable.

DM me to get 50% off first month on Cursor.com This is an "ad" and I earn credits, but I also legit think that Cursor is a great way of writing code nowadays. Pay special attention to its cloud/web features ✨

Adding collaboration. Like git pull requests, but for spreadsheets

1 million interdependent cells (about 33MB) in the browser with very high FPS. Gonna keep trying higher numbers until it breaks.

I've been building something 👀✨

AI has taken over open source, and the data is wild: • npm is now seeing 100k+ packages published per month • packages with em dashes in READMEs jumped from ~5% to 30%+ • AI is increasingly writing packages and choosing dependencies Awesome post by @staltz.com: socket.dev/blog/ai-has-...

I just wrote a new article on the Socket blog: *AI Has Taken Over Open Source* Shocking charts and data to let sink in. Please read socket.dev/blog/ai-has-...

Proud to be working to improve the safety of FOSS ecosystems. It's also great to see this work so well resourced. Socket Security also offer free accounts for any Open Source projects - we give back to the commons

Today is a big day for @socket.dev. We raised a $60M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by Thrive Capital. 20,000+ orgs, 1.5M repos protected, 1,000+ supply chain attacks blocked per week. 3/5 FAANG companies are customers. We're just getting started.

My biggest struggle with AI coding is that I haven't answered these questions yet: (1) how can I reduce the time that it's idle (overnight, overweekend), and if that happens then (2) how can I keep up with the reviews?

Why does Anthropic not offer Claude in the cloud (Cowork in the cloud, scheduled tasks etc)? Why why why why why Why are they telling me to keep my macbook always awake why why.

Microsoft had this very handy app for scanning documents called Lens. I use it for years. I refrained from updating the software version out of fear they would paywall it. Well, guess what, I accidentally updated.

Somehow developers have been convinced that the future of computing is to leave their computers busy doing something with a swarm of "agents", going to sleep, and then accepting —without reviewing— the garbage output after they wake up the next morning.

My colleague @staltz.com and his team are at it again, working magic with UIs to reduce cognitive load and make security information easier to explore. Excited to see this launched! 💜

The new Alert Details page surfaces more context in one place, with a clearer layout, detected instances, and reachability dependency chains that show how risk flows through your code. More details → socket.dev/blog/introdu...

Solution for Greenland: split into North Greenland and South Greenland. Trump is going to do this anyway, so why not find a compromise where most of the population (southwest-concentrated) remains untouched, while the USA can do their world policing thing in the north.

Want to work with me and a number of world-class JS open source developers at @socket.dev protecting ALL open source libraries from supply chain attacks? We're looking for stellar frontend developers. DM me
