No big deal. Anyone trying to mess with me, see that 98 PHY score. I'm a cannonball.

I'm artisinally-coding an API key system for Messijo after months of vibe coding a bunch of other stuff and it feels nice. Farm-to-table code is still a great experience.

Wario Scam Mode AI isn't real he can't hurt you

You;ve heard the meme of "Scam Altman" but have you heard of "Dario Scam-mode-AI"? Pronounced Scam-mode-eee-eye-aye .

Just regripped some clubs. I dont typically feel old but there will be signs.

I've been really liking GLM 5.2 lately, but calling it a frontier level model is a bit generous.

One of the best part of this World Cup usa game today was seeing the celebs that care vs the ones that are in it for a photo op. Brad Pitt basically tweaking in that one shot was the icing on the cake

I had so much fun being a guest on the Programming Podcast. We talked about how we are currently using AI (and Me and Jeremy shilled @gitkraken.com a bit). @dthompsondev.bsky.social and @leonnoel.bsky.social are so easy to talk to that this just felt like a normal conversation we would have had.

I was wondering why my dev servers like vite weren't doing the HMR thing properly.

The weather cooling off for my birthday is one of the best present ever.

Nothing can make you appreciate the putter you own quite like trying new putters at the store and then seeing their price tags. Here’s to another year, old friend.

I recognize I can be a jerk sometimes. However, I think I'm nicer than the average compiler. Ok wait, I'm meaner than the rust compiler, but I am WAY nicer than the go compiler.

I've turned a milestone I think. For weeks we have had a troll that has said things like: "You're experience as a dev is just an agent's skill file now. It's over." Today, we had our first troll pop in and say: "u r not even a real programmer, just vibe dude"

When your roux hits the cream and you add lots of cheese That's a mornay

Big thanks to @expo.dev for letting me talk about GitBench by @gitkraken.com at their AI meetup in Seattle last night. Also a huge thanks to @internetstudio.bsky.social for hosting us at their space.

I haven’t paid for a haircut in over 25 years. Not about to start now. Massive ROI on these hair clippers.

We have been thinking what it even means for @gitkraken.com to be a dev tools company in this new era www.gitkraken.com/blog/gitkrak...

The saddest realization I had recently was that the average clanker will solve general intelligence tests better than the average human being.

I've been mulling around the theory that people gravitate toward needing the "smartest" model for all their tasks because to recognize that they don't need the "smartest" model ends up damaging their ego.

I don't trust a single one of these current and future IPOs as far as I can throw 'em. And with my bad shoulder, I shouldn't be throwing anything.

Every single person with a 401k needs to switch to a self-managed version before you become a bag holder for these terrible IPOs

AGI achieved! In a recent GitBench iteration, we asked Nemotron Super to resolve a merge conflict. It gave up and started writing a romance novel. It gets SO DIRTY after the screenshotted parts.

I'll just comment on my impressions of their conclusions in a thread here. Worth sharing how I see it unfolding internally. (I signed up for their email spam to read this so yes, I am a hero.)

Hmm, something about this graph needs some fine tuning... I'm thinking we just nip the tip a bit. It's going to be a sleek look.

I almost missed it, but I think June 3rd was my 8 year Streamiversary on Twitch! Figured I'd pull up the watch hours as an interesting metric over that time.

Ok fine, I'll install bun I guess

How many LLM benchmarks does a person need to make before they can call themselves an AI Researcher and quadruple their salary? Asking for a friend

It's only cynical if I'm wrong, right?

Yes, I'm a collector of many things. Comic books, sports cards, vinyl, beanies, browser tabs, you name it. Some of my browser tabs are legitimately vintage.

Pleasantly surprised by the LLM substituting a squid emoji in place of the @gitkraken.com logo

The article that inspired this one was great (link in post), so it was so fun to come up with an homage post.

Aging is realizing the jeans (read: JNCOs) of your youth would be 10x (or more) their value 30 years later.

I fully believe we can never achieve AGI unless we can "gift" AI with the "oh you're about to sleep? here, think about this socially cringe thing you did in high school" thoughts. We could put AI's worst decisions and choices per repo into a REGRETS.md file.

On stream, someone asked, "Don't you find frontend boring after doing it for so long?" My reply: "If you're bored, then you're boring. There is so much cool stuff you can do on the frontend these days." (If you caught the song reference, your knees probably hurt when you wake up in the morning)

The best engineers at Big Tech aren't the best coders. They're the best at influence🎯 @shaundai.com, Engineer at Netflix, calls it the Inception tactic — and it's just one gem from this new GitNation Heroes podcast episode hosted by @cmgriffing.bsky.social! Check it out:

Welp, I'm going to need to use GitKraken's OpenRouter account for GitBench from now on. I'm not made of money.

I just rebooted and let my stream pc update for the first time in ages. This is the most scared I’ve ever been

MOAR GitBench results. Fine tuned a bunch of the fixtures and added effort level. Still mind blowing that Claude costs WAY more for worse results when compared to a "stupid" model.

People are always talking about tokens per day or other vanity metrics. We need a new standard. I propose "You're totally right!"s per day.

As devs, we need our own olympics. This event will be called sessionmaxxing. How close can you get the filling up your sessions token budget without going over? It's like base jumping but for token usage.

If they made a millennial version of The Big Lebowski: Jeffrey: I've had a long day and I just hate the Smashing Pumpkins... Uber Driver: I'm cancelling this ride. Get out of my Prius!

I find it interesting that a study was conducted 6 months ago that evaluated the "You are a ________" prompts and concluded that they don't do anything compared to prompting without them. Yet, we still see popular Skills using that approach and burning tokens for no reason. (BMAD, gstack, etc)

I just heard Flea's "A Plea", and I'm really liking his jazzy Tricky arc. It really feels like a pale Tricky moment.

I am once again shouting out how epic this song is for being a movie reference song. Warning, the music video could be considered NSFW www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Rc...

I'm building a set of LLM Git Evals as some interesting research for @GitKraken.com I was blown away to see gpt-oss-20B outperform Opus. Opus is especially bad at the worktree and submodule tests compared to every other model I've tested so far.

Made pork kebabs again, this time marinating for 5 hours

My mom reminded me of some High School things she saw about me back in the day: - "Lack of effort impedes progress" - "Missing assignments affect grade" - "A pleasure to have in class"

"It's trained on real human writing. I'm sure it understands run-on sentences." - Me (earlier today)
