Wild that this is somehow a hot take

[t0ggles @t0ggles]

Hot take: Sprint velocity doesn't matter.

What matters:
- Are we shipping?
- Are customers happy?
- Is the team sustainable?

Points are theater.

Safari and Firefox are the new Internet Explorers, change my mind.

[Rjey @RjeyTech]

The best browser for your MacBook is Safari and it’s not even close.

- Safari on a MacBook gives you hours more battery life than Chrome, Apple optimized it at the chip level for Apple Silicon

- It blocks trackers and third-party cookies by default with zero setup

- It’s faster in real-world page loads and uses significantly less RAM

Coding used to be the great equalizer — the most blue-collar white-collar job.

Computer + internet + grit was enough to go from dirt poor to rich. Watching pricey AI tools start to gatekeep it sucks.

[Adam Rackis @AdamRackis]

Man. The era of a young, poor—but scrappy and energetic—young kid grinding and learning to code as a path to a good living may be over 😔

It would be so gross if a subscription to an expensive tool became required to learn how to do this professionally

[Daniel Marcus @DMarc_2]

Mostly agree, but GraphQL is super nice to consume from a CMS, especially with content federation.

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

I'm so happy the GraphQL psyop is over

@petergyang macbook air on your chest

@trashh_dev What’s wrong with GitHub Copilot? Seems to work pretty well and lets you choose whichever model you want.

[Daniel Marcus @DMarc_2]

@jaredpalmer 😂 so true. Would be nice to have them all nested in a folder at least.

@9to5mac @iryantldr Can’t wait to upgrade from Intel-based Touch Bar to M6 touch screen!

[Daniel Marcus @DMarc_2]

@alikia2x @rauchg @shadcn @turborepo @DrizzleORM Yup, they pay @Rich_Harris to maintain Svelte. Win/win situation.

[Daniel Marcus @DMarc_2]

@rauchg @shadcn @turborepo @DrizzleORM I missed that part. I gotta work on my reading comprehension 😂.

The good part is that both SvelteKit and Next are backed by Vercel!

[Daniel Marcus @DMarc_2]

BASED @apple using @sveltejs…just gotta upgrade to Svelte 5 runes, doe

[Daniel Marcus @DMarc_2]

Intel touch bar Macbook Pro is still my daily driver after almost 9 years. I truly am a madman lol.

[Kr$na @krishdotdev]

is M1 still worth in 2025 ?

[Daniel Marcus @DMarc_2]

I lowkey miss the PHP + jQuery days…it was a simpler time.

[stemonte @stemonteduro]

someone has to tell the truth
even if it's hard to swallow

[Daniel Marcus @DMarc_2]

@poteto Totally agree, even though I personally love Svelte.

[Daniel Marcus @DMarc_2]

@trikcode Welcome to the club!

[Daniel Marcus @DMarc_2]

While there’s some things I prefer about the pages router, the app router is definitely an improvement, in most ways.

[Mehul Mohan @mehulmpt]

Hot take of the day: Next.js peak experience is with using pages router
