Package Managers Need to Cool Down Today's LiteLLM supply chain attack inspired me to revisit the idea of dependency cooldowns, the practice of only installing updated dependencies once they've been out in the wild for a … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net 2026, finding the balance between fixed bugs and zero days. There is very unlikely ever a reason you need to be running bleeding edge packages in prod most package managers now support cool downs.

Okay so I logged into twitter today, and we are back.... probably not for long, but we are for now. Claude Code source leaked, the tweets are great.

This is the tech twitter I remember no sad news how the world is corrupt by the other side.

Wyatt’s First Printed Cosplay Scales
Wyatt printed these sick scales today and they came out so good on first try, luckily Rhiannon already had the fabric for him and he was able to follow his passion on this project while the spark was lit.

Social Media is dead

Social Media is dead, interest media killed it long ago. I no longer feel like I'm connecting to people, creating community, having fun, learning. I feel like I'm being shoveled slop from the slop machine, I'm sure mostly create by well intentioned people just trying to make it in the world, trying to make their mark, trying to make something of themselves. The algos long lost the idea of subs and likes, and transitioned to how long you will pause on a topic. What used to be a series of recognizable faces, names, avatars, each with their own personality that I could come to learn and know who was just trollin, who was serious, is now mostly unrecognizable. Platforms have changed and fractured communities people went separate ways, not all the same ways. No one community is like it used to be, and its hard to find.

EDC # I try to keep a pretty light every day carry, but it never works out, keyfobs and headphone cases end up causing more bulk than I’d like, but My EDC is no where near the bulk I had as a kid with my cargo pants decked out with everything I could possibly need. I hold no attachment to anything in my EDC. Nothing on my person has sentimental value. Anything I carry can be lost, stolen, or destroyed at any point in time. I pick things of sufficient usable, utilitarian, quality sufficient to work. No extra fluff.

Where Is The Tech Industry Going

Agents suck Get left behind if you don't use them Burn out if you use them too much The software world has been flipped upside down seemingly overnight. Slow at first, then all at once. It started with auto complete, to chat, to, ide integrations, to agents that would f&!^ over your repo more than it would help. Up till this point we are just little bit better and more specific than copy paste from Stack Overflow. Then in Nov 2025 models learned how to effectively use tools and do what you ask of them, sometimes more, sometimes less, but generally for the basic shit most of us make its a net positive with each iteration. Our techniques for managing work need to change. Our expectations need to change. Burnout for a lot of folks is coming.
To Live In A World Without AI | Nic Payne I'm finding lately that I wish we could go back to pre-ChatGPT... A world without a code-gen easy button, where "easy" was LSP autocomplete, wher pype.dev We f& #ing said @pype, well f& #ing said. I think a lot of us are feeling this, we’ve pitched our brain into a bucket and we are no longer stretching it in the same way. We still work in similar ways of old, with new ways of turning off and saying yes a bunch of times. the best thing I can hope for is that as things get better we have fewer yes loops, and more architectural design debates and deep thoughts. But I fear deep thoughts are gone to the way of “research the leading 10 frameworks and pick the best one for this project.” and letting the clankers do the deep thinking. Its signing us up for a weird distopia. I think a lot of us wish we could undo what has happened and go back to actually understanding what we are doing, but the world has changed, and if you are building average shit, like the average person, using models trained on average people doing average shit you cant keep up anymore.
My Thoughts on Beads | Nic Payne [Steve Yegge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Yegge) is a pretty well-known individual in the tech field, having been around for a long time at some of the pype.dev I’m in step with @pype here, I really want beads to work for me, but my systems for infra/platform work are all over the place, not one repo. I’m considering trying the env var but idk if it fits my workflow. For now, similar to @pype, I am rocking my own home vibed solution that I’ve intentionally put little effort in and its working great and I expect it to be broken and not working with the latest harnesses and models within a few months anyways, cause there is no predicting this train.
