I've got a need to make things - apps, websites or dad jokes. Sometimes they work. Currently building & growing @thankbox as a family business ♥️

I ran Mythos on my codebase and it basically said I might as well pack it up and shut down.

Is anyone else just avoiding adding new Open Source libraries to their stuff purely because you're highly sus it's all been vibecoded and can get abandoned easily?

[Valentin Hinov @ValCanBuild]

This is what the life of an undercaffeinated startup owner who still also wants to write code sometimes looks like 😅

I woke up today and decided to choose violence in my Tailwind

@intellijidea I absolutely love Junie but would love a way to easily change which model I use directly from within the chat window. I flip often between the default Gemini one for easier stuff and Opus for harder ones.

Having to go through settings each time is annoying.

@stripesupport I do use these quite a bit, but for a business that processes thousands of transactions daily you often get disputes where the person forgot they used the service or was just confused. It's these previously "easily-winnable" cases that no longer make sense to dispute.

[Valentin Hinov @ValCanBuild]

At this point with @stripe there's zero sense in countering lower-sum disputes even if I know I'd win them. What's the point when I'll end up being charged more than I'd get back?

Surely this is causing more fraudulent disputes 😡

Having Junie write my code and then Github copilot review the PR is not something I thought I'd be doing 2 years ago.

@trizo_za From what I see all examples using it are docs sites. Have any of the big LLMs actually stated they use it?

When coding a new feature and you're using an AI Agent, what parts do you hand over to it? Just tests, full feature implementation? Somewhere in between?

I try to build out at least some of the feature so I can think through it, then when I have an example I try to offload that

You know you're tired when you make yourself another cup of coffee even though you only have decaf in the house 😅

I've already got the design team hard at work at implementing Apple's new Liquid Glass design system.

Can't wait to ship this soon!

I'm on the lookout for a decent laptop backpack since my own has given up the ghost. What do you people recommend nowadays? Got a 16" MBP so should fit that comfortably. Ideally plus an extra pocket for other stuff.

AI image generation at its peak

@itsjustamar Dear god!

[Valentin Hinov @ValCanBuild]

I have to ask.

Dafuq is vibe coding?

[Valentin Hinov @ValCanBuild]

@SeanBarryUK That's my feeling as well but I don't want to be misguided as an "old man"

Looking for a @statamic CMS consultant to help me migrate to it. About two weeks fixed contract. Hit me up if you know anyone.

@paulg What's your thoughts on the Scottish startup scene in general?
