Good news from Serbia and Brazil. Voting in NZ opens today, lets see if we can continue the streak.

Heidi Wong's Halloween costume (instagram) is as the Shimmer from the Annihilation movie, with a purse using my novel. Really clever, looks good affixed to the purse.

A harness where the human writes the code and the AI does the boring stuff? 😍

I'm going to @rustlab.it again this year! This will be my third year in a row attending my favorite conference ever. I've been lucky enough to attend a lot of dev conferences all over the world, including the very first NDC, but RustLab is my favorite. If you see me there, say hello! 🙂

I have never felt more seen.

Get into a "Rust starter pack" achievement unlocked! go.bsky.app/6KgMror

Picked up watercolors to not have every creative experience associated with a screen.

Apparently nobody is raising a seed round below $50M anymore. I need to get back into startups!

I wonder if the productivity gains of LLMs are just a result of people working harder because of the expectation that they need to deliver more.

It started life as a Japanese indie tech book (じゅじゅちゅ！), and the English edition expands on the original. Kindle and paperback are also on Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B0H82MZBJH Playful outside, serious inside 😄

Now that AI has taken away my coding job, I'm thinking of getting more into art.

So many tokens, and not even one thing built that brings me joy.

I do have a question though, couldn't they just rewrite Claude Code in Rust, instead of acquiring Bun? 🤔

When did it become normal to express compute capacity using energy consumption units? It's like me saying that our team has grown to 560 calories.

subprime content crisis

The vibe of this screenshot actually made me remember how much I love to write software. It feels like a sane place, music, references to think and learn, the place where you are typing. It feels like a zen setup.

Trying to get used to Zellij and Helix at the same time. Feels a bit uncomfortable and overwhelming, but no pain no gain.

new demoscene where we tear down and rewrite a codebase by hand every year, to keep our tacit knowledge alive

I'm only writing Rust by hand this week. To keep my skills sharp. 🗡

Little update on my reflection adventures: I have extracted the core components of Pavex's compile-time reflection engine as a set of standalone crates! It serves as a preliminary step ahead of another release in the coming weeks 🛠️

**insert Dr. Strange meme of 14 million futures** Sometimes there is a very clear, but extremely narrow path to success.

GitHub again down? lubeno.dev still has a 100% uptime 💪

Coding agents still have a long way to go before they can compete with the best developers in their domains.

Bun is maintaining a Zig fork and not upstreaming their changes because Zig doesn't allow LLM-authored changes? I feel like I missed a huge drama in the OSS space. What is going on here?

I wrote a blog post about sandboxes, schedulers, and how we're scaling our infrastructure at @tensorlake.ai. Go check it out! www.tensorlake.ai/blog/startin...

Claude Design unlocks the project manager’s dream of making the button bigger without pushback. Half of your design team will be fired in a month, the design system and branding guidelines thrown in the trash, and the App Store ratings down one or two points in a few months time.

"It's not fun." - Luísa on using LLMs for coding

The act of insertion and removal provides a psychological gate between "starting", "doing" and "finishing". It is the opposite of The Eternal Scroll. It is the hero we need.

Didn't know @kolobara.com had a new project. The interface seems so nice!!

I was looking for where can I host my code in EU and found this lubeno.dev by @kolobara.com Looks really promising. 🤞

The US is on a speedrun to turn every market into gambling and remove as many protections as possible.

How about the AI does the planing and reviewing, and I just write the code?

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

I have used @jj-vcs.dev now for a few days. Damn, how could I work without it? Such a game changer, when using coding agents 🤯

Reinventing the Pull Request | Discussion

Good advice on #git commits chrismaiorana.com/git-commits-...

Can't wait to see Project Hail Mary in the cinema. I don't read much, but I couldn't put this book down.

Hand-crafted Rust Code 🦀

A lot of good ideas around code reviews and better pull requests ♥️ I would love to see some of them in @tangled.org too.

I don't know how and why, but we need to bring this back.

I wrote a blog post about pull requests, comprehension debt and Jujuts lubeno.dev/blog/reinven...

Big Purchases only happen on Big Computer. This is the law, I will not explain.

This week's deepdive hit a nerve. It's true: there are more and more signs that AI agents help increase *output* but they result in worse *quality.* Unless something changes. And something needs to change, clearly! The deepdive: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/are-ai-age...

Moving slowly is becoming a huge competitive edge.

I fixed my iron deficiency and feel so full of energy now! My brain just 10x-ed, don't even need the AI anymore.
