- We are living through the js framework wars for agents and llms now. We will look back on this with clarity, and wonder why we wasted time with things like graphql, and why we couldn’t see the real winners from the start. Note This post is a thought [1].

- Such a good interview @lexfridman is such a talented interview. It’s so cool to see the other side of this. For weeks we’ve heard about the story of the name change, we’ve seen everyone shitting on the security model, buying up all the mac minis in existance, fear mongering not to install this thing. @steipete [1] has such a cool story from the beginning talking about making this thing fun and exciting. Giving it a personality that is not “You are absolutely right”. The story of changing the name twice, and getting pwnd on every step the first time and nailing it the second time is incredible. Dude is having fun trying to make the thing he wants in the world exist. Note This post is a thought [2].

Background Patterns with CSS `corner-radius` – Master.dev Blog You might need to know this someday: you can style a div, put the div into SVG, then put the SVG in to CSS and use it as a repeating background. frontendmasters.com [1] These patterns are really good. I like a good repeating background on a website. Takes me back to the old days of web, but with a nice crispness that was never there on sites of old Note This post is a thought [2].

The shovelware cometh In September of last year, I covered a post by Mike Judge arguing that AI coding claims don’t add up, in which he asked this question: If so many developers are so extraordinarily productive usi… jerodsanto.net [1] Not surprising theirs a lag, between the models getting better, the tools getting better, and the masses getting better at using them, it takes time. This is still quite a hockey stick. I’m wondering how many are not posting on Show HN embarrassed they built something they know nothing about and afraid to get questions. I have no idea how anyone would get this ratio, but if I were a betting man, Id bet the ratio of build/show went way up. Plus we are probably getting a ton of people who have never heard of HN start building cool bespoke things for themselves and thats it, they use it, they love it, they might tell/show a friend.

[1]https://t.co/wIVGqlTbpQ" [1] loading=“lazy”> dax (@thdxr) on X finally got around to setting up an always on opencode server so i can run sessions on any device from anywhere takes a few minutes - showed it off here https://t.co/wIVGqlTbpQ X (formerly Twitter) · x.com I tried this flow [of running an opencode server on tailscale] on day one of getting opencode, I wanted to prompt from my phone while were were running lights at the theater. It kinda worked, but the ui was really bad on phone, hard to use and the experience overall–it felt buggy. Happy to see they are making improvements and it might now be ready for some real use. https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/file/9065fcb2-5e40-479c-967e-498bc9bb6a4f.mp4 Note This post is a thought [2].

I Hope This Email Finds You Before I Do I Hope This Email Finds You Before I Do Last Week in AWS · lastweekinaws.com [1] This post was filled with real life, snark, entertainment, feelings. I get a lot of these emails that claim they can change my SEO game if I give them 500, for a site making 0, Link partnerships from small startups. A lot of these are so automated that if I do respond I dont even get a response. I’ve responded to many simply asking what is this about, I get 10 others just like you a week. Can you tell me what exactly you want and what each of us benefit from it, how did you find me. All normal questions, they almost always result in crickets, no response, maybe its time to implement a Billie for more snark. Note This post is a thought [2].

- What a goat, speedrunning silksong at a competitive pace, live, with live audience, while co hosting, and raising $2M for Prevent Cancer Foundation. CEEN moves in ways that do not compute with my brain, everything looks so simple, things that take me so long are done in a few swipes. Watching this it really make silkspear look OP, this thing does so much damage if you never take damage and can use it continuously without needing silk for healing. Note This post is a thought [1].

Reflections on 13 years and 1,000 posts of writing on my blog - HAMY hamy.xyz [1] The answer is I do it habitually. If there’s a big enough idea I’ve had floating around in my head and I think others might find it useful / interesting then I usually think it’s worth logging it somewhere. If I don’t, I’ll likely just keep thinking about it so might as well get it out of my head and on the internet where people can find it. - hammy [2] This is how you do it. If you want to do something, you need to make it a habit. Something you crave, something you need. I need to write my ideas down in this blog, it helps me index ideas for later, but more importantly it helps me flesh them out and think through real things. Congrats on 1k, your site is awesome Hammy [2] Note This post is a thought [3].

Don’t fall into the anti-AI hype I'm glad someone was brave enough to say this. There is a lot of anti-AI sentiment in the software development community these days. Much of it is justified, but if … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net [1] Never believe in absolutes, see what I did there. The hype bros will take you to the extremes, ai will take your jobs in six months or be burned to the ground in six months. How about its useful now and will be more useful in six months. If you turned off the hype bro feed for six months you would probably be fine, in fact you would probably be better off for not capturing so much noise along the way. AI has gone the way of next js framework, it churns fast, hype bros are always an expert that know exactly whats best for everyone. It changes fast, what was the best last week might be dead next week. In fact getting to know what works well for you and knowing that tool really well for a longer period will take you farther.

- Salesforce gets pwnd by the ai hype bros and killed its reputation with employees, letting them know where they truely stand with them. 4k people sounds like a lot, its probably a big chunk of savings, but was it worth the loss of reputation? There must be a better way to give this a trial run that lets them understand this before disrupting the lives of real people right??? Note This post is a thought [1].
