OpenAI’s product naming is atrocious. Which is just fitting, ngl.

“agentic” 🙄

I’ve seen this (bad) analogy where people using coding agents are like Product Managers now. But none of the PMs I know would ever say “I made this” when talking about something their team built.

Mine was a 3330. Same but with WAP! 😎

“I made this app with Claude” 🙄

Engineers know the phrase: "no premature optimization." And then they go and do it anyway. Not just in code performance, but in design, and in the entire rest of the company. And yet, the principle applies everywhere. You’re wasting time you can’t afford to waste.

Alright, friends: this is my most ambitious YouTube to date. It was a ton of work. I hope you'll watch, share, subscribe! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxHk...

We're (re)building Software Design's most seminal moments one pixel at a time and sharing the stories behind the work straight from the designers themselves. Take a peek and sign up to follow along… historyofsoftware.org

Software Design is weird. It is undoubtedly the most impactful medium shaping the world today, yet even those of us working in it know very little of its history. We have no broadly-read books, no docu-series, no video essays. Most see the works of the past as obsolete rather than a rich heritage.

This is what peak Agentic Development looks like whether you like it or not.

This is an age verification post: LAMP/LEMP stack.

Electrobun is a new cross-platform runtime for shipping desktop apps ✨ Electron mostly uses C++ to embed both Node.js & Chromium. Electrobun uses Zig to to embed Bun and - like Tauri - relies on the OS default web renderer. 🔷 Write apps in TypeScript 🧱 Process isolation ⚖️ 12MB base install size

Software engineering has never been a particular serious field (as engineering goes), but now it feels like we are reaching a new low every day.

Sometimes I wish we could go back to phpBB and the forums era.

Normally when people make performative media about going insane I roll my eyes but checking in on Twitter a few days ago I think people actually are going insane in this way.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Soft launching my Keybase on atproto alpha: @keytrace.dev Basically the identity verification system from keybase/keyoxide but storing the identity claims on your registry and signing them based on keys in mine. It is not focused on PGP, but on making it possible for social apps to handle identity

Today is probably a fine day to mention that I've been working on a self-hostable Discordslacklike called Chatto. It's steadily moving towards feature parity with the big kids, with everything crammed into a single compact 50 MB executable that can run off the cheapest VM you can find.

Over the past year, @vegh.ca and I have been working on something very exciting! We thought we'd give you a little teaser now and you can sign up to hear more very soon.

Yes please.

There was a moment in time when Apple cared about usability and legibility. Those were the times...

Unironically the AI companies’ playbook

yeah this is awesome. anyone not excited about atproto in 2026 is just sour as hell
