@simonwillison.net is the first I've heard use the term "agentic engineering", which feels like a much better description of how I use tools like Claude Code (as opposed to "vibe coding", which implies no human architecting the result). Great stuff in this post: simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/23/...

🚀 "spec: generic methods for Go" has been accepted! You will soon (1.27?) be able to declare (on concrete types only) methods that introduce type parameters, i.e. type parameters other than the ones (if any) that come from the method's receiver. github.com/golang/go/is... #golang

Plenty of businesses failed before AI, and plenty will fail with it. The tooling may have improved, but reality is as harsh as ever. A bad idea with AI is still a bad idea, just shipped faster.

Twenty years is proper perspective. I've landed in a similar place - the agent needs to be on a tight leash with clear boundaries, not given free rein. The moment you stop reviewing its output is the moment it quietly introduces chaos.

Twenty years of context is exactly what makes the difference. The bit most people miss is that "remaining in control" also means owning the context the agent works with - if your codebase knowledge lives on someone else's server, you've already ceded control before the first prompt.

You can use Opus for Plan mode and Sonnet for everything else by typing "/model opusplan" in Claude Code. It'll even show up in your "/model" list after that. WHAT IS THIS SORCERY AND HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT IT BEFORE??!??!? #buildinpublic #claudecode

Have you ever asked yourselves, how ChatGPT can be syntactically perfect and the same time intellectually mid? It's a statistical problem, really. --- #chatgpt

Yeah, sure, you can use Claude Code to generate Go code for you, but has it ever occurred to you to ask it to generate tailor-made code generators that take your existing code and instantly give it superpowers? Case in point, type-safe URL routing, validation, serialization, sum types etc #golang

My problem with Claude Code limits these days aren't the 5-work blocks, but reaching my weekly limit way too soon. And, while I haven't found and easy way to fetch my current weekly limit programmatically, I quickly coded an xbar script that would show me the % elapsed till reset, and I'd compare.

In retrospect, I don’t know why I didn’t do this much earlier. Getting to the bottom of this rotten and perverted story won’t make me particularly happier, so I’m out of this. #epstein

Reassuring to see that the current Go team seems capable of maintaining the spirit of discipline/simplicity that has made Go so remarkable. I was a little worried that without the old guard they'd start to fall into the trap of copying shiny objects like most language teams do. Thanks #go team!

It's Go 1.26 release day! It brings a ton of performance and quality-of-life improvements, but I am so far the happiest about the improved `go fix` command. Just ran it on a couple of projects, and it found some good code candidates to be modernized. go.dev/blog/go1.26 --- #golang #programming

It never stops being funny how Claude Code is patting its own should for the amazing job it's doing 🤣.

In a strange chain of events, I may become more well-known for my in-camera photography tools than for my other software. All in all, I am happy that I made someone's day, because they certainly made mine with this review! p5v.gumroad.com/l/canon-cine... --- #photography #canon #cameras

Чак пък! TL;DR по средата сме, просто сме предпоследни в ЕС, ама то това не е новина май.

Welcome to the age, when a freaking chat app will now require seeing your face or scan your ID to let you in. Gatekeeping is one, but this is a whole new level of surveillance. Pretty sure, they'll then sell all your biometrics to Palantir. www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

I never noticed this either.

that latest ad, for Ai.com, made the connection between the 2022 “crypto bowl” and this one explicit

💯👌

Anytime I see Jeff Bezos mentioned I remember the time he flew to space with William Shatner and when a very emotoinal Shatner was trying to describe the experience Bezos interrupted by spraying champagne like an idiot child

Phone booth, in the middle of nowhere. #bulgaria #photography

I love it, when I see how smart people can have completely opposing views, and yet, respect the other's opinion. That long-lost art of respect. A sign of how degraded we've become is seeing argument turn into shouting at one another.

One of the reasons I use Go for pretty much everything these days is that I’m extremely bored of having to deal with code deterioration, due to constant evolution and outside forces. As unappealing and verbose as most of my #golang code looks like, I know most of it will still work decades from now.

Lithuanian Olympic uniforms by Issey Miyake for the 1992 games in Barcelona. This was Lithuania's first time in the Olympics after gaining independence from the Soviet Union. Fabric was cut and shaped using heat, not scissors or sewing machines.

Tools like Claude Code showed the world that writing the code has never been the bottleneck. It’s one thing to have an idea and put together the code that gets it working. I have a hundred of those. It’s quite another, convincing even a single soul that what you’ve built is worth paying for.

i'm torn on this. on one hand: yes, i feel this. i'm doing coding side projects again and i haven't done that for a decade. on another hand, the kind of burnout i get from overusing claude is unlike anything before. i'm learning to find a balance

RIP, Heroku, and thanks for all the fish! You opened the door to the wide Internet audience to many of us.

You’ve got to say it like it is! 🇺🇸

„Народът започна да се вълнува от проблеми, които не са наши, а това разсейва обществената енергия.“

Name them shame them

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Vibe check: working from a cafe this morning and every other person sitting at the 'work table' (the long table with the power sockets) has an LLM interface open on their main window. ChatGPT, Claude Code, one's NotebookLLM I think.

With the deletion of the CIA World Fact Book, I shall be forced to revert to using Encarta 95

Някой по-запознат може ли да сподели теории какво се случва зад кулисите? Защото този параван с видеата от козметичните салони определено напомня на нещо, за което писах миналата година. С две думи, докато тарашат това и ония студио, какво ни спестяват новините? preslav.me/bg/2025/06/2...

Don’t worry everyone, I have a plan to personally save journalism. I simply need to make a billion dollars and not be corrupted by my newfound wealth

One unexpected effect of Claude Code is that I'm much less patient with poorly done web services. I keep thinking, "Opus 4.5 could refactor your stupid site, improve the latency, fix the UI, and add the obvious missing features in an afternoon!"

Apple is adding agentic coding features to Xcode 26.3 today. We saw a demo of Claude Code and Codex agents in action. Details here: www.macstories.net/news/apples-...

Here is your Claude Code pro tip for today. When in doubt, ask it to offer you options to choose from. This works great, because CC won't dive straight into implementing something you may not want. #claudecode #llm

From the series "you can't make this 💩 up."

I wish the movement to return to old web1.0 style sites was bigger. Forums, RSS feeds, web rings. It exists but it isn't big enough, I wonder if the people who even remember how much they had it figured out are just too few Like it's not even nostalgia, shit was more communal and worked better then

reminder: it's not that For You runs on "a gaming PC" — lots of stuff runs on GPU servers these days, that's whatever For You runs on @spacecowboy17.bsky.social's gaming PC _that is also used to play games_ 🤯

Hot take: immutability in #programming is overrated. It's a constraint made for humans. A beautiful lie we tell ourselves. Under the hood, every single memory bit is flippable, CPU registers can be overwritten, files wiped away, etc. So, just embrace this beautiful mess, and write tons of tests.

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary. It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

Pretty cool project on /r/localllama - they take human written text and sloppify it 10x with 4o-mini, then train the model to de-slop by reversing the transformation

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

The files are so evil and terrible and they also confirm that the wealthiest men in the world are the biggest bunch of losers in the world. Every single one of them is a sentient fedora.

VPS providers. We need to have a conversation about your lack of dark mode.

I’ve somehow missed how in the past couple of days, what seems to be an instance of a heavily insecure cron running Claude Code requests, became the most overhyped thing on the Internet. Did I say full of security loopholes? Yes I did. #clawdbot
