In over 15 years of open source, I can't remember ever saying "your example doesn't compile" (I probably did, but it's so rare I can't remember). Now, I literally say this everyday. Please, can people using AI be less fucking stupid about it.
What we do for money, what we choose to build These say a lot about who we are I work hard every day because this is not the future I would like to live in

Day 1: You don't know how to use abstractions, so you write flat code. Day 1000: Your code is fancier and full of abstractions. It's "flexible", "scalable", "observable", and a bunch of other "-able". Day 3000: You realize over-engineering is the biggest mistake of your…

congrats to the @PostgreSQL contributors 🐘 ◆ asynchronous I/O ◆ UUIDv7 ◆ virtual generated columns ◆ temporal constraints ◆ oauth authentication ◆ improved text search ◆ parallel streaming in replication ◆ new wire protocol (first new protocol version since 2003)
Node.js event loop utilization for one our services went from about 80% to 20% just by removing logs 🤦♂️
One of the almost unspoken facts about performance: tracing and logging themselves add a lot of overhead.

The Ruby community is builders shipping code that matters. It’s thousands of developers who chose programmer happiness over corporate orthodoxy. Who chose humans over machines. A handful of people writing open letters don’t define us. Ship code. Help others. That’s it.
The larger Rails community (myself included, despite the fact that I lean liberal in my political views) just wants to keep calm and carry on building amazing stuff with our favorite technology and not be beholden to any particular radical agenda on either side of the political…

Coding was never really about writing code. It was about breaking a problem into steps, imagining the edge cases, and knowing where trade-offs live. AI just took away the boring part. What’s left is the real work: thinking clearly.
$300/mo?! Why are api documentation platforms so expensive? Someone needs to disrupt this.
Gartner has been out of touch with tech analysis: and their latest report on AI coding assistants show just by how much. - They rank Amazon, GitLab, GCP, Windsurf all above Cursor - No mention of Claude Code or OpenAI Codex Cursor pays Gartner nothing: others do Embarrassing
No one buys your product because it’s written in React. They buy it because it solves a problem. Your stack doesn’t matter.
Gartner ranked Amazon coding assistant (??) higher than Cursor “analysts” are cooked
After many years of using mechanical keyboards, I switched to one of these a month ago, and I'm actually very happy with it so far.
being a founder is wild. you can brute force for 100 hours and get nowhere, then one random karaoke night you figure out the answer in 10 seconds.
You think you’re being productive but no, actually you’re just busy.
One of the best things npm could do is reject all dependencies that have less than 1,000 lines of code. The brainrot of not copy and pasting and self maintaining these trivial libraries (99% of them) is high and the supply chain attack vector has been compromised repeatedly…
It's been about a year since my team has fully adopted all the AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code) And day to day I am feeling the added cruft in the code base. Unit tests are not catching regressions. Unneeded mocking, comments, are left in between. More refactoring is needed…
I think GUIs are great (when done well)! But the bar where terminal applications are frustrating for the developer or the user is way, way too low. A world exists where new software is written in the terminal because it’s genuinely an exciting capable platform and that’s my goal.
