I really need @HunterBiden's feelings on Spencer "Goblin" Cox

It just hit me that most vibecoders probably don't know what a symlink is

VoidZero is joining Cloudflare.

Our mission stays the same: to make JavaScript developers more productive than ever before. Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+ remain MIT-licensed. Evan and the VoidZero team will continue leading them.

Cloudflare shares our commitment to open source. Together, we can keep investing in the tooling developers rely on every day, while bringing the Vite ecosystem and Cloudflare’s platform even closer together.

@_andrewthecoder It's also knowing what NOT to code

How do y'all even get this damn algorithm to work for you without being shitty?

@chesterzelaya I'm team hardware hackers here. Hardware that doesn't function without an expensive yearly subscription is just plain stupid.

It's official — I just dropped my first app.

I noticed a distinct lack of iOS apps for browsing anime image boards (also known as boorus). The one existing app, Anime Box, feels outdated and doesn't work easily out of the box with several popular boards.

My solution, Booru Browser. Creative name I know.

Just dropped the TestFlight for iOS. Come try it out!

I'll admit, @MiniMax_AI's MiniMax M3 isn't half bad. I can't tell yet how it stacks up against DeepSeek, and it definitely takes a while to solve more complex problems, but in the end it seems to get the right result so far, and that is something.

@unclebobmartin Apparently Elixir is a really good agent language as well, probably for a lot of the same reasons

@CollinRugg Titanic part 2. Let's gooooo!

@birdabo Tbf any AI based startup built on a major lab's models is only going to last so long as the major labs decide they don't want to add that feature yet

@prolibertypod So, if you've ever studied economics this is complete and total BS

[Watzon @_watzon]

A new booru browsing experience is coming soon to iOS. This will be my first official app launch and I couldn't be more excited.

Stay tuned for the #TestFlight

@mjfree Great use of both AI and free will

@zzznah Idk bro, kinda looks like an alien to me

[Watzon @_watzon]

@birdabo @cursor_ai Might actually be worth trying out now

Empowering people to own and change their software was the open source slogan for decades. Now the grand democratization finally arrives, and it's all "yeah, but not like that" 🙄
