Everyone says they're thrilled or excited, but frankly, I don't believe them. I think they're stressed and hysterical but can't see outside of the money train.

Surely this marks "the top".

I can't imagine how bad this is for Jamaicans at the moment. Just hoping with all my hope that it's not as bad as it could be. Google "donate Jamaica hurricane Melissa" and please give what you can as they will need it.

If developers are getting laid off due to AI enabling companies to do more with less, the implication is that we're entering a golden age for indie developers. The Age of Disruption.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Atproto is beautiful. Instead of users giving their data to apps, the apps just borrow it.

What is the best "guide" for an aspiring indie developer?

The behaviour at the Ryder Cup was really embarrassing, and I'm not even American.

I'll post this again in case there are some people who didn't see the previous one: You can make HP Sauce like the *old* HP Sauce by adding a tablespoon of malt vinegar and a dash of chili sauce. I'm offering this information out of the kindness of my own heart. Enjoy your bacon sandwich.

It blows my mind that we will mine ore, extract aluminium, then process it into thin sheets, just to cover leftover lasagne so that fies don't get to it. I feel like this is one of those things that future generations will look back on as being sheer lunacy.

What if some client-side browsing features were part of the web platform? Direct CSS reflection of URL state, snappy pending/optimistic UI, URL-to-scroll-snap binding, and some basic same-document navigation use cases, with JS being only an option. github.com/WICG/declara... Inviting feedback!

What with the GPT-5 letdown and the MIT report, it really does feel like we're at the "Peak of inflated Expectations" in the Gartner Hype Cycle.

Neat, looks like MDN's new frontend is built with @lit.dev

Energy and compute needs for LLMs seem to be exponential, whereas core intelligence and capabilities seem to be linear. At what point does this end? And how does it end?

This is such a huge disappointment, but I suppose they had to release it. Vindication for us wallers.

If, like me, you are devastated at the state of HP Sauce and yearn for that peppery, vinegary deliciousness that we used to have in the 80s and 90s before they criminally changed the recipe, an easy way to recreate it is:

Pretty sure we have some Helmholtz resonance stuff going on with the hvac in our attic. When the opposite window is open, there is a thundering low-frequency rumble.

I love how Test cricket can provide you a sporting contest that lasts 6 weeks and ends in a draw, and is still viewed as one of the great Test series.

Pi is neither a framework nor a library. It is a set of strict conventions — simple, declarative, and transparent — designed so that AI systems can understand, generate, test, and debug their own code.

I've seen so many teams and styles of management in my (fairly) long career. My conclusion regarding management is that all you really need is alignment and motivation. If you provide those things you will get quality and velocity.

AI model progression so far: 1. scaled inference until diminishing returns hit 2. pivot to agents to extract "reasoning", but no killer app 3. doctor models for political gain <-- we are here We're in the dangerous phase now, because the focus has switched to influence and manipulation.

My hot take for the day: the battle between the big AI players is for political control rather than to create intelligence. They know AGI will not be achieved, but they need to grab land. If every person in the world uses AI to get their information, the AI clients have complete control over them.

Assuming the AI bubble does indeed burst, and demand for compute drops through the floor, what are all those data centres going to be used for?

I decided to use Claude Code to build a new app, so of course I first had to build something to optimise the way Claude builds apps... (wip btw)

Working with Claude Code is, in many ways, deeply unsatisfying. It's not so good that you can just talk architecture to it and let it handle the details. You have to pick it up on tiny details like type errors, API regressions, or bad DX.

We should be designing our frameworks such that the velocity remains high for as long as possible.

It's always funny when you're having a long conversation with 4o and it starts talking in Welsh.

How to be classy, how to be cute, how to actually walk the walk... Love you for this, @cloudflare.social ❤️ www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/t...

Bots can start authenticating to Cloudflare using public key cryptography, preventing them from being spoofed and allowing origins to have confidence in their identity. blog.cloudflare.com/verified-bot...

Is "Anarchic Agile" a valid approach? (I don't know if that's the right phrase, but it seems to describe it well): - no reviews - no planning - no tests - ship fast, test in prod - fast feedback, high change rate

What they learned is that poorly engineered rockets are just 5000 tonne bombs waiting for detonation.

In my side-projects, I've fallen back to React/Redux/CSSModules/All relative paths/Simple Redux Router. I'm done with complexity. github.com/andyjessop/p...

I saw Les Dennis at a service station once. From a distance. bsky.app/profile/ciw1...

Multiple Cloudflare services, including Workers KV, Access, WARP and the Cloudflare dashboard, experienced an outage for up to 2 hours and 28 minutes on June 12, 2025. blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-s...

Is it just me, or is this liquid glass thing a bit dated?

When using Claude Code on a new project, velocity is huge. But I've noticed that the longer you work with Claude on that same project, the longer each iteration takes, and the more manual changes are required. Would be great to try to measure this effect.

Claude code always gets it wrong first time, but then it plugs away and plugs away, and eventually just asserts the type as "any".

Has anyone made a talking chatbot that acts like Holly from Red Dwarf? I think I need that.

As we move into onboarding more OSS projects to @pkg.pr.new and are releasing the next million preview packages, we are thrilled to announce that @cloudflare.social is now backing our data infrastructure!

When I wrote pivot, I went one step too far. I should have stuck to Redux norms instead of abstracting them. Actually, I went two steps too far - the injectable system is overly complex and unnecessary in most cases. Seriously considering righting these wrongs... github.com/andyjessop/p...

I feel like we're on the cusp of a robotics revolution, probably driven by Japan and South Korea as they are facing the direst situation wrt their social security systems. I wouldn't be surprised to see widespread generalised robot helpers solve the caring issue within two decades.

If 10 thousand undersea suicide drones attacked an aircraft carrier all at once, would it be able to see-off the attack? How many undersea vehicles can a carrier fleet engage simultaneously?

Russia just lost - over the course of a few hours - 35% of their primary force projection mechanism. This feels momentous in many ways.

Me and Claude 4 are not off to a great start. Spot the error.

Who should I speak to in order to get this: Split Pane Vertically Split Pane Horizontally changed to this in iTerm2: Split Pane Right Split Pane Below

Currently looking at the overlap and differences between "memory" and "worldview". I'm looking at building the worldview as a different layer on top of the memory system, so that it can be pluggable/swappable. In short, I'm building a modular brain.

Deepcoder: a 14b model that codes as well as o3-mini. More evidence of a wall. If this pattern continues we'll have SOTA models on Raspberry Pis in a couple of years. huggingface.co/agentica-org...
