I've just had an amazing idea

Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process. The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail. So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.

i was looking at the map because of the war stuff and was surprised to find Russia is smaller than both of its neighbors, lithuania and poland. for some reason i assumed it was really big

What happens to Square / Block Android OSS projects post layoffs? Let's start with some context OSS at Square is mostly a happy accident. Jack hired Bob, who's job was attracking world class engineers, and he did that through talks & OSS.

From a colleague: The anti-pattern is a `PLAN.md` that says "we will do X" when the code already does Y. Plans live in conversations; outcomes live in artifacts. Full up-front planning never worked in software development, agentic coding won't change that

Prince William's statement: "Im honestly just floored. I'd see Andrew out there most weekends, usually just tinkering with his vintage polo mallets. We'd swap a few words about the pheasant season or the state of the local foxhounds--just normal, everyday stuff, you know?...

Shocking royal news, it's always the ones you suspect the least.

Jesus this is a game changer, I had no idea this was being worked on. Thanks for the deep-dive, @skydoves.bsky.social!

The year is 2025, and people are saying "Hey, what if we specified the whole thing in detail up-front?" again. Tell me you haven't actually tried that without telling me you haven't actually tried that.

Hearing, the famous jingle but to "Did somebody say, Menulog!" will never not be unsettling. can't unhear. like hearing "Carglass repariert, Carglass tauscht aus" in Germany.

Here's the slides for our #dcldn25 talk on #RemoteCompose speakerdeck.com/camaelon/dro... Thanks to everyone that attended, it was great to finally share this project :) Kudos to the droidcon organizers, this was a really smooth event, and it was neat to see old friends! @hoford.bsky.social

Super interesting talk by @camaelon.bsky.social and @hoford.bsky.social! RemoteCompose looks super powerful

I now regret my three wishes for that genie being: 1. Liverpool owners should finally spend some transfer money 2. Peace in the middle east 3. Oh, and make sure Wirtz doesn't go to a premier league team challenging for the title

Shit the prophecy is true Heed the whispers of the Fates. When the season's champion is sought, the Crimson Bird shall take flight toward the sun, or the Red Trident shall pierce the heavens. The sky is not wide enough for both. As one soars, the other shall be cast in the shadow of mediocrity.

Come see @hoford.bsky.social and I in London next week -- we have some cool stuff to show off :-) #RemoteCompose: an #AndroidX framework to project rich, animated #UI from apps or servers onto remote surfaces. #dcldn25

Super excited to be speaking at Droidcon London 2025 very soon!

The single biggest unlock I've had with AI coding assistants is the planning step. In an OpenAI's DevDay talk, @aaronfriel.bsky.social mentions his "ExecPlan" approach. I know the term game-changer is thrown a lot (esp. with AI written posts) but folks... this is a game-changer.
