Claude didn’t say shit

I’m getting so sick and tired of the phrase, “I don’t know, Claude (wrote it|says this)…”

If somebody’s trying to tell you some other app is a more secure alternative to Signal, they are ignorant, malicious, or trying to sell you something and you should not take them seriously. Every other app is going to have the same human problems and worse security. Ask every reputable cryptographer

ruby oldheads scoff at rv being in rust, but it's because it can enable a new era of rubyists to join us by vastly lowering the barrier to entry. precompiled downloads with dependencies are table stakes in 2026

exciting to read about this work on rv, uv has made Python so much easier for me

I wrote a history of rv until now, what we've released, and what our plans are andre.arko.net/2026/06/13/rv-…

Tim Ferris, not as surprising as you’d think

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

It's always funny to me when our VC/PE-backed competitors target us directly in their marketing. Like we're five people, bro. You should probably be concerned that you think about us at all.

There are two ways to resolve the cognitive dissonance of being on Twitter while also caring about all the awful shit happening because of Twitter 1. Leave Twitter 2. Stop caring Profoundly disappointing how many people I like seem to have chosen the latter

This thread is a good case in point of how LLMs are fundamentally (and always) full of shit

OKAY, let’s do this, give the people what they want (with many thanks to all y’all who tagged me) NYAYAM is free to try, btw, you can just hit it up in the browser. That’s what I did.

Yes, and those different groups of people (on whom the wins and costs fall) have massively different levels of institutional power. Enthusiasts can easily ignore the skeptics, but the reverse isn’t true. Doesn’t give me much hope for a rapprochement.

Just discovered that curl has a --json flag. Instead of: curl-X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{...}' ... you can write curl --json '{...}' ...

Let’s do some discourse. Who has the best breakfasts? My vote is Mexico: huevos rancheros/divorciados, chilaquiles, molletes, tetelas, papas con chorizo, churros, migas… plus café de olla I dunno, I think they figured it out?

On day 2 of decaf and feel fine. I tapered to half caff in the morning for three or four days first. Headache was actually not bad. Definitely feels calmer so far.

The impulse in tech right now to grunt "FRICTION BAD!" is short-sighted. Every rule, process, or guardrail - "friction" - is there for a reason, a good reason, and has a name and a story behind it.

Software leaders on LinkedIn are starting to talk about the growing quality crisis in agentic engineering and they’re like, “It’s not just a crisis, it’s a five-alarm bill that’s coming due. The gap between…”

every day i encounter another company that had interesting, unique technology pivoting to be an agentic thing / chatgpt wrapper, products are homogenizing at a never before seen rate

because bluesky is only a few years old a shockingly large number of accounts here are actually active - even if your follower account here is smaller it’s much more likely to be made up of real people and most of those people are very angry about what’s happening and want to do something about it

Bundler supports cooldowns now! Really great work from the RubyGems and RubyGems.org teams!!

Your periodic reminder that AIs do not “hallucinate.” When you or I hallucinate, it’s due to some abnormality in our brains. When an AI “hallucinates” it is operating exactly as designed.

Talked to a group of design students this morning. All their questions were about AI. Most of them feel like they’re graduating into a field where they’re no longer welcome. We have a new generation of people who want to do the work and we’re going to lose them. No one wants this shit.

I'm throwing in with astro 🆙

Everything from make-believe dreams of Mars colonization to mind uploading to whatever the hell people think AI is going to do as a supplantation of humanity are not meant to be a widely available future for humanity. They are an escape pod for the elite from the burning wreckage of the Earth.

Thinking about quitting coffee/caffeine. Has anyone done this?

I wrote a little Ruby script today by hand. It was fun and rewarding, I recommend it.

I wish I could get my kids to ELI5. Explain it like I'm five, not explain it like _you're_ five!

I am currently editing our company blog after our last editor left, and realized some AI content was slipping through. So now we have a policy for authors. gist.github.com/joshuap/fca5...

I'm watching this cycle burn through some of the best people I know. It fucking sucks.

Called this back in October

What year is this again

I'm so tired of being expected to read things that no one has bothered to write.

i've said this before, but it bears repeating: LLMs have actually improved my writing… by lighting a fire under my ass to intentionally cultivate a voice and style, rather than letting myself sound like a robot. cheap gimmicks will not distinguish you!

Been off here for a while…. Had a baby, took some time, now I’m back and actively looking for my next engineering role. Turns out the job market and newborn sleep have a lot in common: chaotic and humbling. Anyway, hi again 👋

The thing about this, as someone who’s very versed in LLMs and related technologies, is that the mainstream, mass-marketed versions of “AI” are *worthy* of contempt! Even if you like this tech, why would you advocate for such shitty versions of it? The Internet didn’t *start out* being shitty!

When a coder gets hungry

Being able to build apps faster than ever has helped me realize that building the apps was never the hard part. Marketing. Marketing is hard.

Fun fact: @kagi.com does this too, but you can turn it off! Although now I kinda wish they let you customize the system prompt for real.

People keep talking like AI is inevitable. Idk man. It’s not going great and we haven’t even entirely forgotten how to code yet.
