dont call me lucky

Curious what people are actually using to build right now.

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or something completely different?

What made you stick with your choice?

[Dev:) @Whooissdev]

quick one for the room: do you actually name your variables properly the first time, or promise yourself you'll refactor later and just never do it

every codebase I've inherited, exhibit A

run AI models on your own laptop. no api bill, no data leaving your machine

→ works with llama, mistral, deepseek, qwen
→ one command and it runs
→ local api mirrors openai's, your code won't notice

https://t.co/y2UIue9ysH

still paying for api calls you don't need to?

@JamesNMK smart to keep it narrow tbh, most of us try to solve every pet's entire life on day one and end up shipping nothing. what's the stack, web app or going native

Hey, I’m Dev ,building products, startups & things on the internet.

Sharing what I learn about:

• Development
• Startups & building in public
If you’re building something too, say hi 👋
Let’s connect :)

thought my Server Action was broken, browser wouldnt drop the old page

→ revalidatePath() clears server cache, Router Cache still shows stale HTML
→ router.refresh() after mutation if you need it
→ useOptimistic for instant feel

cleaner fix than router.refresh() everywhere?

Bezos called it "artificial artificial intelligence." Real AI just ended its 21-year run.

→ Mechanical Turk shuts down Sept 30, SageMaker Ground Truth too
→ had 500k+ workers doing what computers couldn't yet

what human tasks survive longest?

left a Firestore listener running after the widget unmounted, read count did not appreciate it

→ StreamBuilder w/o cancelling the sub = ghost reads billed after leaving the screen
→ stash the StreamSubscription, .cancel() it in dispose()

learned this the expensive way, you?

xAI open sourced grok build, their internal coding agent

→ fullscreen terminal UI, mouse interactive, extensible
→ Apache 2.0, repo: xai-org/grok-build
→ yet another terminal coding agent dropping this month

replacing your daily driver or just a side toy?

collaborative text editing is the fun kind of hard

→ two people, same paragraph, last-write-wins eats someone's sentence
→ full CRDT feels like a cannon for a v1 feature
→ still weighing cheaper tricks before caving to yjs/automerge

built collab editing before? what worked?

[Dev:) @Whooissdev]

react app laggy on every keystroke? probably not what you think

→ check context re-renders before reaching for memo
→ move state closer to where it's used
→ profile first, flame graph shows where it blows up

last perf bug that turned out totally different than expected?

[Dev:) @Whooissdev]

debugging streaks in Kept today: timezones are still the final boss

→ 11:58pm checkins failed bc streak calc used UTC not local time
→ fix: store a local date string, not a timestamp

clean way to store dates that survives DST? tired of reinventing this every project

@JamesNMK Wow this sounds useful, i might wanna use it cause I have many pets

@chanduuu_cs im using helium , best if you care about ram

@kapilansh_twt opus 5 ig

react tip: passing a new object/array as a useState default gives you a fresh reference every render, which loops your useEffect if it's in the deps array. lost 2 hours to this today. wrap it in useMemo and move on with your life

Pentagon tried to blacklist Anthropic for refusing to help build autonomous weapons. federal judge just struck it down, called the national security excuse basically a cover story. good day to be building on Claude
