Feed on here feels a bit better since I posted this. Is nature healing?

But then I also see alot of posts like this, and think we might just be cooked bsky.app/profile/burn...

I still really wish dev twitter moved over here 😕 I really feel like we could’ve carved out our own space, and pushed out some of the shittier parts of Bluesky.

imo Next should make it so that files named client.tsx in the app dir are auto "use client"'d. Its such a nice pattern putting the non-reused components co-located next to the RSC page.

Tried zen browser but it just doesn't feel as slick as arc :/ I hate to be using a browser that feels like its in "maintenance mode", but its just not quite there. If arc falls apart then I'll probably be winding up back on Chrome.

Weird (maybe not?) thought: cache() is bassically global state for RSCs. Now if only we had a built in API for global client state that nice...

This new UI where it looks like you might not be subscribed to a channel but its actually that you are not a paid member is terrible

Crazy to me that the geforce now games list downloads the entire game list synchronously, blocking all interactivity on the site until it finishes downloading

Claude at the moment is by farm and away the most useful general-purpose LLM imo. Answers equally or more correctly as something like gpt o1, at the speed of basic gpt 4o. The real magic is the way it formulates answers though. Explanations feel much more natural and less verbose than 4o / o1.

Really awesome stuff. Can't wait to see what the future brings, but for now, I'll definitely be sticking around on the anthropic side of things.

Furthermore, google by default reads doubles quotes as looking for exact matches 🤦‍♂️

I really like Next's "use cache" api, but man if it isn't the most SEO unfriendly name ever when looking up docs
