Open-source maintainers don't hate AI, they hate PRs.

[Godot Engine @godotengine]

For years we've been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse.

We are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors:

@xhfloz This wouldn’t have worked 15 years ago.

@dhh This is when Omarchy ascends.

@nateberkopec “That matters because”

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

Why continue teaching calculus to year after year of humans, when agents already know it *and* when to use it?

@remusrisnov @carrickkv2 @wesbos @OmarchyLinux On Omarchy, it has dedicated hotkeys for hold and toggle dictation, respectively. Voxtype is built for Wayland.

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

@carrickkv2 @wesbos Voxtype. Installable from the global menu on @OmarchyLinux

@dhh @OpenAI Same, I have been using Codex with no misgivings on output. For GenAI, as well as Skill evals.

AI efficiency works for startups as well. Large orgs will wish they had created new revenue streams instead of new competitors.

JUST IN: Cloudflare lays off 1,100+ employees through email as it restructures for the “agentic AI era.”

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

This class of model precludes cybernetics like @neuralink. If you are verbal, why get (repeated) brain surgery when you can communicate with an agent?

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Introducing GPT-Realtime-2 in the API: our most intelligent voice model yet, bringing GPT-5-class reasoning to voice agents.

Voice agents are now real-time collaborators that can listen, reason, and solve complex problems as conversations unfold.

Now available in the API alongside streaming models GPT-Realtime-Translate and GPT-Realtime-Whisper — a new set of audio capabilities for the next generation of voice interfaces.

@dhh Agree, with the caveat that modern JavaScript is not modern _enough_ until this passes and is shipped:

Feeling nostalgic now. Looking back at messages I received from r/steamcontroller users, the first one says "You guys should write a bible for reddit sub owners."

In a real way, Reddit prepared me for developing and managing a product used by thousands of colleagues at JPMorgan.

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

I was the mod for r/steamcontroller for ~4 years. I coined "Lizard Mode," ie when the controller is orphaned from Steam. This is still the official Valve term. I got it from Adam Carolla's podcast c.2008. He used "lizard brain" a lot to describe base, unconscious behaviors.

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

This gave me confidence to apply for a webdev job at Valve in early 2017, figuring that perhaps my role in their community might fly in place of an internal reference (which is/was their primary mode of hiring). It did not.

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

@PixiJS Perfect easing 😄

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

@wesbos People don't want to email 'Bucks just to get a drink. This approach is too much chat, not enough bot.

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

@wesbos So do I! Maybe I'll relearn Bower and .babel file transpiling (😬) this weekend.

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

This is absolutely sick, and reminded me of a 2015 demo I made called Fun Button.

I just realized my wife filed an issue 11 years ago and it's still open... sorry honey.

HTML in Canvas API is NUTS

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

Since this post, vibe coding became a reality. The next step is to formalize it in our workflows. Every user and stakeholder should have exactly the app that they want to use.

[Brian Blakely @brianblakely]

The Issues section on GitHub is already utilized kind of like an AI prompt. I expect future software will be made by users submitting change requests and AI fulfilling them within moments. Human engineers will only be necessary for keeping the system running smoothly.
