Wonderfully written article! Captures what we in tech teams experience in our daily lives. @pydantic.dev fyi, the nav bar keep flickering when you scroll on mobile. That can be a bit jarring at times.

Fascinating website and UX! Love the cool atproto integrations, dynamic theming, and mix of whimsy in the status messages. This is high quality work. Any web company would benefit greatly from having them in their team.

Two big announcements: 1. I'm looking for my next job. 2. My website is now one of the most "Atmospheric" websites to date, going beyond just @standard.site to include @teal.fm, @anisota.net, custom lexicons, a status bar, data inspector, and more. If you want to work together, get in touch!

The level of customisability and control that bluesky provides you over your feed is so refreshing, after spending hours trying to appease the YouTube & Instagram algorithms. Love atproto, bluesky, and the efforts of their devs in creating a UX that makes you feel like a free independent human.

Wow. The difference b/w cpu-only inference and gpu powered inference is huge. 100x. Even on a 7 y/o budget gpu. I was hesitant to try it out since it was so old, but glad I did. Grateful for the work people have done to make local llms practical <3

Worked around it by cloning the repo and asking my questions within OpenCode :) Pleasantly surprised at the precision of the answer and the speed at which it found them. It’s great! Can’t wait to connect it to llama.cpp and have fully local chats.

I was trying to understand mcp better by experimenting on my desktop. Searched for an SQLite mcp server. But there doesn’t seem to be any “official” one or even any popular ones. Is there a better way to discover good & safe mcp servers than auditing the source code myself ? #mcp

Or are MCP servers an out of date concept now ? I hope not. The idea seems cool, but considering the pace at which new products are released in this domain, one can’t be sure.

Found it interesting that even after all these years, ext4 seems to be the recommendation for new filesystems on Linux desktop. I was researching and expected btrfs or something, but was surprised by the general opinion.

On that note, it’s also harder to find good websites with opinions from real people via search engines nowadays. S/O posts are ~15 yrs old, “blogs” have generic surface level advice. Found a good thread on @linusmediagroup.com finally. Neat website.

I can’t deal with this 🥲 My team fixed a bug in our app. Then for some reason, added a feature flag for the bugfix and introduced a new bug 😭

Throughout my career, I realize more and more that having good teammates and a good manager is a top priority. You learn so much and your workdays just become happier.

You are up to date.
