@pip_net Not much better on X though

[Philipp Kloeckner @pip_net]

LinkedIn is the real MoltBook - prove me wrong. 90% soulless AI slop by people mistaking outsourcing their PR to Chatbots for great leadership. I have zero respect for this, and it makes me question how they solve other tasks of their work...

@denisyurchak If you are into arts I can also recommend the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum.

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

[kasey @kaseyklimes]

there is so much focus on developer productivity right now that we’re failing to notice team throughput has barely budged

[Tim Ottinger @tottinge]

Apparently, there is only one dimension to code, and that is speed of writing it.

Everything else is utterly meaningless, social-media-ly speaking.

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

@GergelyOrosz The hubris of assuming people will care to read something you couldn’t bother to write.

[Matt Pocock @mattpocockuk]

The more I replace plans with prototypes, the better the outputs

Who'd have thought that low fidelity prototypes were better than walls of spec

Oh yeah, the entire industry for 20 years

Stop going against decades of knowledge because someone in SF shipped it as a 'mode'

[Mario Zechner @badlogicgames]

it is absolutely crazy to me that our entire industry has succumbed to hyper waterfall. because that's what ya'll are doing with your massive plans and beads and dark factories.

have you learned nothing?

[Sara Mauskopf @sm]

By the way, what is with the player-coach analogy? No professional sports team ever does this. In real life, players and coaches are distinct positions not held at the same time.

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

All jokes aside

* +15 direct reports is an insane number pre AI
* Now coordination is harder because things can "move faster."
* Now the boss should also code?? Ship features??

How is this even reasonable?

Hey! Let's have a hackathon!

We work with dozens of Ruby on Rails projects every year. Naturally, we've used many gems and have found our favorites.

This idea led @palkan_tula to create this blog post, where he imagined what if these gems were somehow merged into a single Gemfile: the ideal Martian Gemfile. We update this post regularly, now with AI integration and Inertia Rails sections. Read here:

@echtesDblarr TeBe deutscher Meister?

[Malte Ubl @cramforce]

To quote from my keynote at Vercel's internal offsite:

Software is free as in puppies. It will pee in your bedroom and eat your furniture.

The weight of every line of code is real. We will need to maintain it. We will need to port it. It goes into the context window. And somebody in this room will get paged at 2am because it did something unexpected

Garry has a point

His point is completely wrong, but he still has it

@Freddy__42 Disco-Ball underrated

[dax @thdxr]

when deciding company culture a tempting option is be "elite" or that you're doing incredibly important work

this almost always backfires because you end up with regular people who think they're super special just for being there

and the culture becomes one of delusion
