great question from @mitsuhiko.at which i'll respond to here because i don't want to get harassed on X. it's homophobia. thats it, thats the tweet

ransom notes keep falling from your mouth

Please, help, what surge protector do I buy 🙏 @theverge.com @reckless.bsky.social @davidpierce.xyz

I've been on X a lot over the last year or so. it's where most of the discourse amongst AI folks seems to happen, and I want to keep up with that. It's mostly fine; I block a lot of folks that are outright alt-right. But then there's a lot of subtle stuff from folks in tech. And then there's this

i don't know why i was compelled to request this from chatgpt but here you go @bcantrill.bsky.social . It even got the diet coke in there for accuracy.

this is disappointing. I have admired DHH's work on Rails and his general engineering philosophies, but his essay "As I Remember London" is concerning.

hey y'all. as some of you may know, I have been unemployed for about 4 months as the rejections keep coming over and over things start to get... scary I hate doing this, but if you you wanted to throw a couple dollars my way or share this I would be forever grateful to you paypal.me/superboinkmp3

using coding agents is so exhilarating. you go from an idea to a working prototype in almost no time. the hard part is getting your specification right, but once you master how to do "dialog driven development" you feel like a fucking god.

I refuse to add Groyper to my personal lexicon by discovering what it means. I refuse it with all that values sanity within me. This is NOT a call to inform me. I'm already dealing with the horror of finding out who Charlie Kirk was.

I started reading "Technically Radical: On the Unrecognized Potential of Tech Workers and Hackers" last night after a few people tipped me off to it, and it's really good so far! looking forward to finishing it wedontagree.net/technically-...

DSL + LLM is the way to go

The Discover feed feels a lot better on here. It used to be extremely political, but now it’s a nice mix

We're all riding this new AI wave together. Surfs up! brightsideofabsurd.com/posts/the-gr...

Is AI merging with Christianity?

There may be alpha in exfiltrating AI news/articles out of X. AI Engineering Is Dead bloop.ai/blog/ai-kill...

@steveklabnik.com brought up some ideas i've been thinking about, how LLMs today resemble early compilers, but also how undefined-behavior can lead to crazy outcomes, so i want to publish them even if it's a bit rambling. Better out than in, as they say.. brightsideofabsurd.com/posts/llms-a...

This was great; @steveklabnik.com is proving that you can be AI Maxxing without having to scroll on X all day, so that is inspiring

What’s your favorite gen-alpha slang? I think mine is “lock in, chat”

If anything pops the AI bubble it may be consumer rejection. It’s taking off like wildfire inside the tech industry, but most people aren’t nerds like us

I am once again asking you to get this awesome book, Building a Debugger, by @tartanllama.xyz

Currently in the "fuck around" phase of trying to build some things with C++ This time I'm warming myself up by reading project books. One is a new book I'm very excited about: _Building_a_Debugger_ by @tartanllama.xyz . There are lots of books about Interpreters and Compilers, but not debuggers!

C# is so nice. Look at how easy it is to make a simple subclass.

Sarah is spot on here. I gave a talk at my org last week and really tried to emphasize the point that these tools can easily go off the deep end. I think they can help increase productivity, but the trick is knowing when to take the wheel and turn off autopilot.

Deeply inspired by my heroes at Oxide @bcantrill.bsky.social @ahl.bsky.social and @steveklabnik.com, and the amazing LLM researcher @simonwillison.net , I’ve finally started a blog 🎉 brightsideofabsurd.com/posts/hello-...

We need more tech leaders to be like @rich-harris.dev and move away from X

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

I really truly honestly believe that if we want someone to stop the insanity of this administration, it’s by boycotting Apple. It will be fixed very quickly. @reckless.bsky.social

A reminder for these times.

This is blowing my mind. I have a feeling @tinybase.bsky.social might work for this with its Durable Object support. I might need to investigate 🕵️‍♂️

ai agents are local first clients --- of course they are! they're long lived processes that connect to a system, sync data, and call actions that do side effects. I wrote a post about it! sunilpai.dev/posts/local-...

App idea: integrate podcast rss feeds and atprotocol / activityPub so publishers can have comments on podcasts.

Quick thought about this great interview. In it Satya Nadella says that he doesn't believe AI models will be a winner-take-all type of market. Here's what i think.. 🧵 youtu.be/4GLSzuYXh6w?...
