@NerdCowboy you 4.8: to be totally honest, you're not a dish-washer. Better check with a proper one before you make a decision on which dish to wash next and how

[Alberto Blázquez @albertoblaz]

This is surprisingly a thing. Even young, highly-educated people don't have a clue that you can do certain basic things with AI, or prefer not to use it for ideological reason 🫤

[Naval @naval]

The new competition isn’t Humans vs AI. It’s Humans with AI vs everyone else.

@AccionEAFI Es increíble que todos los EV parecen lavadoras con ruedas, no se salva ni Ferrari 😢

Q: How are job postings for software engineers rising rapidly despite AI agents automating coding?

A: Because there’s far more code to manage than ever before. We’re already seeing a 14x YoY increase in GitHub commits, and it’s accelerating.

AI has dramatically lowered the cost of writing code, so it’s now being used across far more businesses, applications, and use cases.

We’re at the beginning of a massive productivity boom driven by the proliferation of bespoke software throughout the entire economy.

Coding has been AI’s breakout use case this year. The fact that it’s increased demand for software engineers — rather than decreased it — should call into question the entire “AI will cause mass job loss” narrative.

The amount of folks being robbed of the joy of parenthood is one of the greatest tragedies of our time.

Now imagine these euro critters being able to scan all your private messages, group chats, AI conversations. They could ensure so much dEmOcrAZy! And launch 100x more criminal prosecutions against insubordinate citizens.

@devongovett React Aria is such an underrated project. Thank you and the team for the hard work! 🙏

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

🇪🇺 @steipete on why Europe was unable to retain him as talent:

"In the US, most people are enthusiastic.

In Europe, I get insulted, people scream REGULATION and RESPONSIBILITY.

And if I really build a company here, then I get to struggle with things like investment protection laws, employee rights, and paralyzing labor regulations.

At OpenAI, most people work 6-7 days a week and get paid accordingly.

In Europe, that's illegal."

Not quite happy with how Apple made things harder for you to find.

iOS 26.1 allows you to delete a contact in the list but not when you find it through the search bar. Then the confirmation is just the same button again 😕

[Alberto Blázquez @albertoblaz]

This is BIG! Even if slow and with a reduce scope for now, it seems Europe is waking up.

Lots of work still ahead on taxes and bureaucracy but heading in the right direction for startups in particular and a strong economy in general

[@levelsio @levelsio]

This is great news for Europe

28th regime means a virtual state where companies can register

The details approved are a bit unclear, but I hope it will include actual taxes and regulation too that fully override the national taxes and regulation for companies and staff hired

That would create a super attractive place to start and run startups similar to Delaware (or now increasingly Texas), the UK, and Singapore

And you don't have to change anything on a national level per EU country, it exists besides it, but does compete with it but from a blank slate

👏

@sergiodxa @AlemTuzlak it might not be a habit and just a necessity caused by inflation

[DHH @dhh]

Make it work (AI).
Make it fast (also AI).
Make it beautiful (still human).

[Alberto Blázquez @albertoblaz]

Super hyped for Vite+😍

It looks exactly like the tooling the JS/TS ecosystem missed for years. Blazing fast and simple to setup

[Alberto Blázquez @albertoblaz]

Boss: "I wonder if it was written by AI?"
Me: "Yup, I didn't write a single line of code in this PR"
Boss: "Its funny, but I am happy to hear that :)"

Turns out NOT using AI will likely steal your job

[Alberto Blázquez @albertoblaz]

@trizo_za Don't forget Rails 😛

[Alberto Blázquez @albertoblaz]

Probably a shared feeling, but... I enjoy doing my job way more now than before.

Moving forward faster, catching errors and edge cases in code, design or requirements, automating unit tests...

Using AI clearly is worth even with errors or manual post-generation refinement

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

AI coding agents hit a wall when codebases get massive. Even with 2M token context windows, a 10M line codebase needs 100M tokens. The real bottleneck isn't just ingesting code - it's getting models to actually pay attention to all that context effectively.

[Alberto Blázquez @albertoblaz]

What a time to be alive. Being a developer is changing so much so quickly. One-person companies are easier than ever
