ffs my robots ran up a $100 server bill last month, trying to deploy branches for PRs they made to update dependencies.

very very interesting to explore workflow management tools in other verticals. they all make the software we use to make software look like toys.

Salesforce isn't done with layoffs yet

Works because he’s low in neuroticism.

His chosen tech stack is because he doesn’t care about his tech stack (not neurotic).

Shipping straight to prod is a consequence of low neuroticism.

You can just do things!

I'm starting to think it has to do with my tech stack why I'm only one doing this

Vanilla PHP + Vanilla JS + SQLite is so simple and basic it's hard for AI to fuck up

The more complex your stack the higher odds AI (or you!) will make a fatal bug

Simple works here

@n2parko @cursor_ai Not allowed to set up cloud environment for work project so need to stay local. Would love to be able to set up my own automations for code review, security checks, etc.

What’s up with the guys who nitpick 4,000 line PRs?

It’s obviously AI generated, and AI reviewed (multiple times).

And within 20 minutes?

No way you read that shit.

Do these guys just have obscure agent rules to find nits and keep up the code police schtick?

Composer 2.5 found seemingly obvious bugs in a PR that both Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 missed, with 2 passes each.

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

Introducing Composer 2.5, our most powerful model yet.

It's more intelligent, better at sustained work on long-running tasks, and more reliable at following complex instructions.

For the next week, we’re doubling the included usage of the model.

I live in urban (liberal) part of his district. Massie is consistently the only republican sign on lawns in the neighborhood. Noticed some door hangers at registered republican houses. And liberal neighbors are relatively pleased with him too.

@vanschneider The ladies love design

[Bryan King @bryan_king]

Surprised that nobody has started a forward deployed design engineering firm yet.

I’m interviewing for a lot of design engineering jobs, or product design jobs that are looking for someone technical.

Across the board, established companies seem to have no idea how to find and evaluate design engineers. Nor do they really have mature design to code systems in place.

But they all want it, and would probably pay for FDEs to drop in and fix their shit.

@bentossell So much of it is contextual, and is ultimately a creative solution for a thorny ui problem. The animation is secondary, what’s important is the steps in the flow that a user has to step through
