I've been driving Zed as my daily IDE for about a week and while it has improved greatly since the last time I used it, it still has quite a lot of issues that make me less productive or, sometimes, even force me to reach out back to VS Code. Let's talk about those.

Great post by @chris.blue materializedview.io/p/mcp-server...

I remember the day watching the news in shock and disbelief. Just regular people who went to work. How do you even begin to make sense of that? My heart goes out to everyone who lost someone and to the first responders who saved lives. I can't imagine your pain, but I feel it with you today.❤️ #9/11

Happy birthday California 🎂🎉!

Nobody: Are you rooting for Alcaraz or Sinner? Me: I am rooting for 5 sets, that's it🔥 These guys are killing it! ❤️💪 #UsOpen

Bracket City's UI used to be simple and subtle. I used to love that. But the new UI is different and bad. Homepage with deep orange background with black text Puzzle page with caps lock keyboard, lower case answers and fluorescent blue highlights.😡 It takes away the joy of doing these everyday.😔

Felix, I believe in you! 💪💪 #USOpen 🔥

Not sure why, but lately Claude in browser is generating several versions of an answer instead of just one per request. For eg: I asked it to adjust my CLAUDE.MD file, and got 5 drafts at once 🤷‍♀️. This increases output tokens unnecessarily and in no time, it says you reached the 5-hour max limit 🙄.

Here is a typical chat with agentic coding for a big refactor (GitHub Copilot Claude Sonnet 4). I give multiple tasks in single shot 'coz each instruction eats up Copilot Premium request budget ($0.04/inst). And agents are capable of doing multiple complex tasks, creating a plan and executing it.🚀💯

ATProto Meetup in the Bay Area - happening right now. Good vibes! @rose.bsky.team is here! @knowtheory.net giving an intro to all apps built with ATProto With @georgeck.me lu.ma/mf4n7jbi?pk=...

I see that GitHub Copilot Agent explains its thinking as it codes - feels collaborative and transparent, like a good peer programmer.🎉 Claude Code is more proactive, often suggesting the next step - feels more autonomous.🚀 Both are great in their own way. Ideally, we want the best of both worlds!💪

Coding my workout app (Beast Mode) while Wimbledon’s on, waiting for Alcaraz in the Men’s Fourth Round. Shipped 2 features - Preview mode, Bowflex workouts. Bouncing b/w GitHub Copilot Agent and Claude Code. Love this dev + tennis combo! 💪🎾❤️ #wimbledon #vibecoding beast-mode-journal.vercel.app

Trying out Wimbledon's new AI chatbot 'Match Chat' 🎾(powered by IBM watsonx) - very handy for match stats and insights, answered most questions well. But for this specific match that ended in Thompson retiring due to injury, it struggled and kept asking about 'Match Context'🤷‍♀️. #wimbledon #context

Super happy to see this in my inbox today. >> Content Independence Day: no AI crawl without compensation! Thank you @cloudflare.social for doing the right thing! 👏 Credit where credit is due 💪.

Built a quick app to track workout loads/reps during sessions. Vibe coded using Claude Code and deployed in under an hour. Had to do a few dependency tweaks, but it’s a great start & ready for tomorrow’s session. 💪🚀 Building personal apps with AI is wild and fun! 🎉❤️ beast-mode-journal.vercel.app

A clear, thoughtful overview of recent LLM developments, compared side-by-side using a consistent benchmark and great insights on the risks of MCPs. Hard to believe how much has happened in just six months. You can watch the video or read the detailed transcript - highly recommended either way.💪

Launching a new blog series: Mobile On-Device AI 🚀 📱 While cloud computing is driving many AI breakthroughs, a significant opportunity is unfolding right in our hands - running AI locally on our ur mobile devices to faster, more private, and smarter apps. The main post: annjose.com/post/mobile-...

Walked 70 miles on the treadmill and 170 miles total (with outdoor walks) this May - an average of 5.5 miles a day! ❤️🎉 Long walks with country music outdoors and YouTube videos/TV shows on tread. Kept showing up. Small steps really do add up. 👟💪 Happy, grateful, proud. (Fitbit, Peloton stats📊👇)

The Golden Gate bridge in SF opened this day (27 May) in 1937 🌉 youtu.be/t_sm0OHQKrg?... A week long celebration of parades, fireworks and fun🎉 www.goldengate.org/bridge/histo... Learned from today's bracket.city, my favorite puzzle these days. (Sorry for the spoiler if you haven't finished yet.)

Remembering and honoring the fallen - those who gave their lives for this country and our freedom. Grateful today and always ❤️. Ceremony at Los Gatos Memorial Park.

Want to expand your knowledge base using #RAG, but but don’t want to deal with the infra overhead? Say hello to AutoRAG, a fully managed end-to-end RAG pipeline recently announced by Cloudflare @cloudflare.social I wrote a post on how it works (and how easy it is): 🔗 annjose.com/post/cloudfl...

Today I found a piece of software that falls into the category of “I absolutely love it!”. Obsidian Web Clipper 💜 help.obsidian.md/web-clipper I’ve known about this extension for a while but never took the time to try it - until now. And wow, it’s simply amazing. Why? Well, many reasons...🧵

Codex CLI: OpenAI released its agentic coding tool today. Easy to try: 1. npm install -g @openai/codex 2. codex <your question> I asked: "are there bugs in the code in ~/dev/hello-cloudflare-workers". See results👇 - first point ✅ github.com/openai/codex Fun history: github.com/openai/codex...

100% agree @addyosmani.bsky.social and @simonwillison.net Vibe coding is not a replacement for all coding, nor is it LLM-assisted coding. Yes, it does lower the inertia to build and is fun! But, it is dangerous to ship code without reviewing and ensuring that it is stable, secure and resilient.

Stanford University's AI Index Report for 2025: 1. AI systems performing better on benchmarks 2. AI is becoming ubiquitous in daily life 3. Businesses are heavily investing in AI and seeing productivity increase 4. US leads in quantity of models, China in research publications, closing quality gap

I've always been curious about how browsers pick the right image for your screen size and pixel density. How do the <img> attributes srcset and sizes actually work? Today, I finally sat down to learn and used Claude to help me. Super fun & mind blowing!🎉 Here's our convo: claude.ai/share/f211e6...

TIL ❇👉 Rclone has a WebUI where you can manage remote configs, view remote files, create shareable link and mount remotes. Run rclone rcd --rc-web-gui Go to localhost:5572#/dashboard UI is not fancy, but functional. Built using React/Redux/Node.💪. Code is open source🔥 github.com/rclone/rclon...

TIL ❇️ Rclone rclone.org is a fantastic tool to synchronize local data with a remote cloud provider. 💯 Supports 40+ providers 🔥 Open-source, written in Go 🎉 Bash-like commands 🛡️ Protects your data 🔐 Supports encryption on cloud storage Super easy to start - ann-dailybits.netlify.app/bits/rclone-...

Which browser cares about your privacy the most? 🤔 I had this question for a while, so I took the time to methodically compare privacy features across Firefox, Brave, and Chrome. I wrote down my findings at annjose.com/post/browser... Hope this helps anyone evaluating their own browser choices.

Three 🤟 observations from running Gemma-3 locally using ollama using unsloth's Q4 quantized version hf.co/unsloth/gemma-3-27b-it-GGUF:Q4_K_M TL;DR (more details in thread) 1. decent model with knowledge 👏 2. unable to acknowledge knowlege gaps 😢 3. overly apologetic, flattering tone 😡

Bash was hard for me. I'd learn a few commands here and there, but then forget them. Unproductive and frustrating.😡 So I decided to learn it properly with the 🔥 book leanpub.com/learnbashthe... It was fun to read it and take notes in Obsidian.💜 I've published all notes in my KB kb.annjose.com/bash

Today I did a no-AI day where I chose NOT to use AI for anything - be it learning about a topic, coding, reviewing drafts. I did it myself using Google search, reading docs etc. 💪 It felt different! Yes, it was slower than AI-assisted mode, but I enjoyed it.🎉 I think it is worth doing once a week.

❇️ TIL two fun things: 1. Bash stands for "Bourne Again SHell", the descendant of the Bourne Shell that was released in 1977. 😎 2. Bash supports 'regex'-like characters 🔥, eg: - `?` matches single character - `[abd]` - matches a, b or d - `[a-d]` - matches a, b, c, or d This is called globbing! 😍

Today I tried vibe coding to build something useful - a modern Pomodoro app with customizable timers and themes. Instead of typing, I talked to Claude Sonnet 3.7 through GitHub Copilot using the macOS dictation app. Here is the result - Pomodoro Flow app my-pomodoro-flow.netlify.app

🚀 TIL: simple, yet powerful bash commands. `pushd`: pushes the current directory to a stack for later and then change to another directory. `popd`: pops the previous directory and navigates to it. An easy way to switch between two directories (or many for that matter). 🔥 #LearnBashTheHardWay

I tried Claude Code - the new CLI tool for agentic coding - announced by Anthropic this morning www.anthropic.com/news/claude-... Claude has been my favorite AI coding partner so far. I use it via GitHub Copilot and as standalone through its web interface. I was curious to see how it works in CLI.

Found a fun game in HN - Bracket City bracket.city - like a crossword puzzle but with clues in brackets. It feels like going on a treasure hunt, you solve one clue and the next one reveals itself.🔥 And the final clue is extra special because it relates to the day the puzzle was published.

Creating a portfolio site can be daunting, esp for students and early-career pros. Many have a LinkedIn resume but find it hard to publish a site. We built Generate Portfolio ❇️ to convert LinkedIn resume into custom portfolio website in under 5 minutes. Demo video🔥: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9Ks...

The world' shortest hackathon starts now! Excited to hack! Here with @georgeck.me 🔥 @vercel.com #nvidia #hackathon

DHH is joining the board of Shopify! Fantastic discussion between Tobi & DHH - great flow, no filler words. Love their passion talking about the company, business, marketplace incentives, Ruby on Rails 🔥 & mechanical keyboards 😲! It was fun watching them have fun. www.shopify.com/news/david-h...

🔥 My site annjose.com has run on #Hugo since 2015 (annjose.com/post/first-p...). It's been fantastic! Two days with #Astro showed me its flexibility & power for content-heavy sites. Now I'm convinced: it's time to port my site to Astro.💪 It's a new adventure. I am beyond excited! 🚀 #WebDev #blog

Just built my first #Astro blog 🔥 using docs.astro.build/en/tutorial/ by @astro.build Output ❇️ astro-ann.netlify.app/tags/ Not pretty, but fully functional with: • Markdown rendering • Layouts, Island • Dynamic routes • RSS feed • Dark mode • TypeScript Source: github.com/annjose/lear... #WebDev

TIL🔥 Astro doesn't allow declarations inside embedded markup. You can embed JS/TS expressions in the markup using curly braces { }, but not declarations or complex statements. You need to move them to the code fences. ❇️ See example below: Left code fails ❌, right code works ✅: #Astro #WebDev #TIL

A simple blog site showcasing the power of SQLite + Turso hosting the content + statically generated using Next.js + deployed on Cloudflare Pages ❇️. sqlite-blog-app.pages.dev TIL🔥 - #sqlite works beautiful in prod - loving it every day ❤️. #turso makes it easy to deploy on the cloud 💪. #web-dev #TIL

The pure joy of a chronological feed ❤️ 🦋. No more: • 'For You' • 'You may also like' • 'Personalized for you' • seeing trigger-inducing posts from someone Feels so good to see things as they happen. Just posts, in order. Logical. Simple and sweet. Thank you #Bluesky team for this! 🦋💚

TIL 🔥 Implementing full-text search on a website is incredibly simple with SQLite! I thought it required some fancy search algorithm, creating search indexes and complex code to highlight and show snippets. Turns out, it's none of that. SQLite handles it all! ❇️ #WebDev #SQLite #FullTextSearch #TIL

How to implement full text search in your website in just 30 minutes with simple tooling. Let’s say you have a regular website with some content (a few blog posts or pages) and you want to implement full-text-search. Let's discuss in 🧵.

TIL🔥 - In a macOS terminal window, you can move the cursor to a specific position without using arrow keys. Just use the Option (Alt) key along with a mouse click. Hold down the Option/Alt key. Click wherever you want to move the cursor. You can also select the text at any location this way. ❇️ 🎉

Had a great dinner with family. Just instant noodles - Indonesian Mi goreng. But great flavor with extra veggies and eggs. Loved it! ❤️ #simple-joys-of-life
