@SDDonovan Was reading a really intense memoir and found the writer in my building Facebook group asking about a sofa! She was moving out :)

@Delikwu I got the first pen (montblanc dupe) here is my issue: it writes great. I leave it for a week and it doesn't write, I have to dip it in ink bottle to get it back to write (or a sec in water) this made me stop writing with it (not sure if universal issue with f pens)

@goodreads Every time someone asks for "best book," "book that changed your life," etc., people start posting random books, and no one knows why. So I'll ask: Your favorite book and why, in 3 lines or more!

@sama Become a credible source of information: if I ask AI a question and it answers it, I don't need to verify/double check as long as the answer is not up for debate.

SOMEONE TOOK 14 CLASSIC SOFTWARE ENGINEERING BOOKS AND TURNED THEM INTO AI AGENT RULES

Clean Code, Clean Architecture, Refactoring, DDIA, The Pragmatic Programmer, Release It!, and Working Effectively with Legacy Code all of them

each book became a ready-to-use rule set for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex

one copy command and your agent starts coding like it's actually read the books

working on legacy code..? drop in the Working Effectively with Legacy Code rules
building a production service..? Release It! rules get loaded in
everyday coding..? Clean Code rules keep things readable and sane

and there's a unified set that synthesizes all 14 books into one coherent instruction file for when you just want one strong default

the idea is simple but honestly kind of brilliant

most people give their AI agent zero context on how to write good software this gives it 14 books worth of engineering standards in a single folder

🚨 This is MASSIVE for vibe-coders.

@Google and @Kaggle are officially bringing back their 5-day intensive vibe-coding course with AI agents 🤗

And yes, it’s completely FREE.

Last time, they had 1.5 million learners, which means something!

Here’s what you’ll be learning:

→ Natural language as the new coding UI
→ Connecting external APIs to build 10x agents
→ Giving agents long-term memory and context
→ Deploying from local prototypes to live production

You'll also get:

✦ Daily codelabs
✦ Podcasts
✦ Live AMAs
✦... even a capstone project to win actual Kaggle swag 🔥

Spots could run out, so I wouldn’t wait too much!

I’ve added the registration link in the �� ↓

@patrickc Naguib Mahfuz the only Egyptian Nobel prize winner in literature is my recommendation.
I read all his work (52 books novels and short stories) and he is IMO the Arabic Dostoevsky for layered deep human soul understanding

When I set up a new Hetzner VPS first thing I do install Tailscale and once I'm in via Tailscale lock down the firewall to only accept web traffic on HTTPS 443 for Cloudflare IPs and SSH 22 for Tailscale IP

That way nobody can get in

I know I keep repeating this but it should be basics of setting up a new VPS

So basic IMHO it should be part of any VPS service to default install Tailscale and enable it so it's the only way to get in

Why?

A VPS server is just like your laptop or destop computer but now imagine if it's connected to the entire internet with 8 billion people that can access it and try hack it

You want to only have it accessible to you

And if you want to host a website on your VPS (like I do), you should only let Cloudflare access your VPS so it can stand in front and block any hack attempts

Never expose a VPS to the world wide web which realistically is the world WILD web

This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.

@tobi Now let it read the 300 slides directly from the data folder without you having to screenshot each slide , index it and upload it!

@edwarddistel @whizwang Thanks for sharing that would be a cool project

🚨BREAKING: Google just made it possible to build your own AI assistant for free.

No subscriptions. No code.

Here's how to do it👇

[NYC dev @_NYC_dev]

@TawohAwa Wondering if there are similar AI agents for @OpenAI or @AnthropicAI ?
