We're resurrecting https://t.co/jabTUJd45u soon!

How soon?

No exact ETA yet, but I'm hoping that updating my extremely outdated profile and starting to post about it will motivate us to make it happen sooner than it otherwise would have 😅

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

@sebwilgosz 7 ; that’s a good average number - it’s virtually never below 4-5 and sometimes 10+

The last time I lost track: before I introduced a system that knows exactly what’s going on where and why , with what goal + rigorously keeping the state in durable docs, always updating on exit

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

@sebwilgosz I’d totally pay for this, however, I’m a codex user - any chance for a codex version?

Getting notified on my phone when a new ‘waiting on you’ item appears would be slick

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

Same effect as 'Accept' everywhere else - yet, such a small touch signals "Maybe, just maybe, these guys are artisans if they are sweating even the boring stuff".

Or maybe I'm just so disgruntled with AI slop that even a small thing like this feels like a breath of fresh air...

@nicalpi @alvarovillalb_ @leewynne @asksalesforce @heroku App is working just fine https://t.co/65fsvveUni
everything on US East

Other than that, I have no idea what's up - zero visibility into anything 😵‍💫🤦

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

FML @heroku down - app is up and running, but other than that:

- nothing from the CLI, other than logout, works (hey, thx for nothing)
- dashboard inaccessible
- support inaccessible
- status page either down, or reports that everything is up and running 🙃

tl;dr: shit's on fire and other than angry tweets, there doesn't seem to be even an acknowledgement of the dumpster fire

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

@leewynne @asksalesforce @heroku

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

more irony: about 20 minutes ago, https://t.co/1uMNs1UxHs was happily reporting that everything is peachy (it wasn't). Plenty of time to figure out that a major clusterfuck is happening, but there's no official acknowledgement - I had to make sure I'm not crazy by looking for tweets like this

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

@GregMolnar 😅😅

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

@lakikentaki Wow, awesome thread 🧵, thanks for sharing - inspiring AF! Keep on trucking!

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

You know things are not going great when Claude completely loses it... "This is some Ruby string comparison bullshit." 😆

[alexanderadam @alexanderadam__]

I think that I might have a neat idea for something at a #Ruby / #Rails #conference that people might talk about.

To do that I'd need someone to #sponsor this.
So please share this so that folks who might want have visibility at a Ruby/Rails #conf see this.

@sebwilgosz I’m practicing polyphasic sleeping. My eyes pop open at 3 am automatically every day. I don’t even remember the last time I set an alarm - it just works.

Search for ‘Ubersleep’ (book) for more info, or DM me.

This. Shit. Works.

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

O2 created human-like AI ‘Granny’ to answer calls in real time from fraudsters, keeping them on the phone and away from customers for as long as possible.

Finally, an AI that sparks joy instead of existential dread!

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

@nateberkopec Based on fellow indie maker's feedback, @GptEngineer is better than https://t.co/DxKS9VyQkC.

But it's moot which one is better - 15 minutes >> 15 seconds.

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

You know you've really fucked up when Claude goes full Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and starts handing out towels. 🤦

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

Just the usual friendly git-related banter with Claude

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

Holy shit, I just realized I've been ghosting Twitter harder than my gym membership. Over a month of silence!

While everyone was losing their shit over Elon's Twitter takeover like it was Y2K 2.0, I was sitting here like that dog in the burning house meme, sipping coffee and mumbling "This is fine" through gritted teeth.

I'm still not ready to go full doomsday prepper, stockpiling screenshots and hoarding followers like they're toilet paper in 2020.

But sweet baby Jesus on a pogo stick, @bluesky feels like upgrading from a Nokia 3310 to an iPhone. The only thing missing is the network effect, but let's be honest - posting on Twitter these days feels like screaming into a void that's already filled with crypto bros and AI doomscrollers.

"If a tree falls in the forest, does it..." Well, on Twitter, it doesn't matter how that sentence ends because the algorithm already decided nobody should hear it anyway.

Meanwhile, I've been channeling my social media withdrawal into something actually useful (shocking, I know) - working on https://t.co/jAyKsAuryM. It's like Ruby on Rails documentation had a baby with a dad joke book.

Coming soon with more cartoons than your average Sunday paper and jokes that will make my fellow developers question their career choices.

Stay tuned. Or don't. This is social media - we're all just pretending to pay attention anyway. 🚀

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

@fialaerik Never say never. I’ve seen lots of people inside Starter Story doing exactly this (well minus the 2 year part obvi 😅) during 5 week sprints. Some (most?) of them couldn’t even code, used @GptEngineer or similar

[Trinity Takei @TrinityTakei]

@RogersKonnor Ah, that makes sense. I was wondering where my usual Monday tickets are... now I know, they turned into Tuesday tickets lol
