Was buying On shoes today. The site has an "AI mode.", but the search didn't search correctly. In general, love AI, but please don't forget about the basics when building products.

Engs love optimizing themselves with elaborate morning routines. But starting each day by being outside (ideally running) + quality time with your kids (if you have them) will give you more energy and mental clarity than any protocol.

Most of my emotional worries fall into two categories. 1) Things happening right now: daughter is sick, production is down. 2) Things that haven't happened and probably won't. (2) ruins my day far more. It pulls me out of the present with my family, my work. ....

1/7 Software engineering is changing fast. Not everywhere at once. Some orgs are already there. Others are years behind. Some engineers will come out ahead. Others won't. The ones who do well are practicing these things right now:

Approaching 40. - My eyes started getting tired. I had to switch from "More Space" to "Default" on my laptop. - My body stopped processing caffeine quickly enough. It's only ~800mg per day now. - I got even grumpier.

1/2 I have a curse. Every app, every feature I touch hits some weird edge case the moment I interact with it. Worked fine for weeks. I touch it → broken.

I'm still puzzled by how unstable Claude Code plugins are. There's basically a 50% chance some of them won't load. The fix is always a restart. How it fails to load a static folder of markdown files is beyond me.

When I talk to lawyers, doctors, manager,s their experience with AI is completely different from mine. Some use chatbots, but casually. Nobody is using agents at all. Three scenario of why this might be: ...

1/4 The GitHub CLI auth experience is frustrating. You can't keep gh authenticated because credentials are stored in plaintext.

Most AI-vs-dev debates are really just two people on different Amdahl curves arguing past each other.

1/7 I doubt Fortune 500s will vibe-code their own Jira. Every piece of software has tens of thousands of decisions baked in. Years of iterations. Reliability, security, edge cases. These things are hard to get right.

Go outside and experience the distance before your 8-hour session of arguing with Claude Code.

1/8 Lessons I keep reminding myself about using agents. Things that make me feel productive but actually make things worse. 🧵

Teach your agents monorepo skills so it can: 📍 Navigate the codebase efficiently using the project graph 👨‍💻 Scaffold new projects following existing patterns 🚀 Monitor CI runs and apply Nx self-healing fixes ...and more! Works with your favorite AI agent tool. (🔉 music on)

In 2026, Nx becomes essential for autonomous AI agent performance. 🤖 Local-to-CI Integration: bridge the boundary between your local agent and CI 🌐 Synthetic Monorepos: monorepo benefits for people with a polyrepo setup 🔍 Task Sandboxing: automatically detect misconfiguration 👀 ...and more!

1/ Every single thing I'm thinking about goes through Claude Desktop. Every message, every tweet, every design decision gets analyzed there. The cumulative effect is very powerful. Everything gets more relevant and precise.

As agent autonomy grows, so must its scope. Line → Block → File → Project → Whole Org The organizations that win will be the ones that remove the boundaries limiting agent autonomy.

1/7 A lot of folks moved to talking to their AI instead of typing. I've tried. I keep coming back to typing.

In the age of short content, I recorded a 50-minute deep dive into Nx. I cover how it works, what problems it solves, and how it amplifies AI. @nx.dev

What makes Nx different? 🤔 It's a build platform where the build system (not CI) owns performance. Nx Creator @victorsavkin.bsky.social just released the definitive explanation of how it's fundamentally different from every other tool:

🚨 ICYMI: Nx 22 is here, packed with amazing new features! Want a sneak peek? Sit back and let @juri.dev guide you through the highlights in his video overview. youtu.be/d8u07NXbwpA

AI made it easy to generate code. A LOT of it. And fast. But what happens next? Your PRs still sit waiting for CI, reruns, and reviews. Our CTO @victorsavkin.bsky.social shared his thoughts about it nx.dev/blog/pr-rev...

I strongly believe great UX is just as important as the core functionality behind it. The post is a good overview of all the UX changes to Nx’s Agentic Self-Healing. We have been working with many large teams trying to see what works well. @nx.dev

Things move pretty fast around here, so we pulled our latest highlights into one article. 🤖 Configuring AI agents is easier than ever 🌌 Graph UI is completely revamped ⬆️ Support for Angular 20.3 and Vite 7 ...and much more! Nx 22 is coming soon, so it's a great time to make sure you're up-to-date!

Sometimes Nx's Self-Healing CI just fixes your failed builds. Other times it gives you a solid starting point, giving you the right context or helping you to seed a convo with an AI agent. We’ve been iterating on it. Here’s a quick video of where we’re at. @nx.dev

AI agent configs are the wild west right now. So we added a command that sets it up for you. No need to upgrade Nx. Just run: npx nx@latest configure-ai-agent @nx.dev

State of JS 2025 is live and also has a monorepo tools section. Make your voice count! survey.devographics.com/en-US/surve...

1/10 A thread on using AI agents well, mechanical sympathy, and why you should not become a manager.

Waiting for @biomejs.dev support in Nx? Why not do it yourself? ⏱️ 20 minutes ✅ Caching ✅ Inferred Tasks Looking to integrate a different tool? We'll show you how! 🚀

We completely reworked the @nx.dev graph visualization. It’s night and day compared to what we had before. 🎥 Watch the video below and provide feedback.

We’re fine-tuning @nx.dev Self-Healing CI to ensure it only proposes changes when it’s confident they’re correct. For example, Nx has awareness of what’s happening in the repo, so it can recognize when the issue isn’t related to your PR.

A lot to like in this release, especially the long-requested Docker support.

1/ Programmers are clever, which gets us into trouble. Every new idea starts simple (TDD, Agile, JS frameworks). Then comes a sweet spot: just enough complexity for big value. But we race WAY past it into long books, certification programs, and diagrams of diagrams.

1/ Lately I’ve been transitioning away from using lots of apps and towards building lightweight systems out of simple, modular pieces. This is enabled by Claude Code/Codex. They're great at gluing heterogeneous data sources together, and are great capability multipliers.

Surprisingly, @frame.work 13 works well with Apple Studio Display. The mic, the camera etc. Also, Hyprland is the best window manager I tried for multi-monitor setups. Better than any tiling manager I tried on a mac.

Small but important. Countless times I’ve opened a PR to see some random check fail (formatting, commit message) and had to rerun it, shaking my fist in frustration.

"What is Nx?" - Let's reintroduce Nx as we've evolved quite a bit over the last year. 🦀 Rust core 🚀 Fast, tech-agnostic task runner ☕ Polyglot 🤝 Nx MCP server 🤖 Self-healing CI What is your favorite addition to Nx in the last year? youtu.be/pbAQErStl9o

1/8 Monorepos are huge for AI agents. Most meaningful changes cross contexts: they naturally span multiple traditional repo boundaries. When AI can see AND modify across these boundaries, the value multiplies exponentially. @nx.dev #monorepos #ai

Just tried the Helix editor after hearing about it for a while. Found it intuitive, more so than Neovim after just one day of use. Really enjoying it so far. helix-editor.com

I like this release of Nx because it fixes many small aesthetic issues that bothered me. Aesthetics matters way more than most engineers realize. Things have to look consistent, compact, pleasant. I'm pleased with these improvements and more are underway.

9 years I wrote about productivity and created a chart on how to time your coffee consumption for max productivity. t.co/gCeOYp1Q0O

We made the Nx Cloud onboarding simpler. Enable remote cache, self-healing CI in a few simple steps. @nx.dev #monorepos www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG3X...

I can always tell when I’m excited about a feature. I’ve been carrying my laptop to work on self-healing CI for Nx during random gaps (e.g., my daughter’s music class). It's shaping up very nicely. Hope to make it a default for every Nx Cloud user soon. @nx.dev

Warp 2.0 is an interesting upgrade. It is good at what it tries to do, and I appreciate the execution. But I don't think that's what I need (most of the time). I need a fast and simple terminal. So I've been trying Ghostty (again) and so far I like it.
