I build things with AI

[👋👋 @developsdaniel]

That feeling when you've just spent all day setting up (effectively) MCP servers for your app using @NangoHQ built in integrations, then their competition then announces they support the ability to do the same, but.... self-hosted only 🤣

I love @NangoHQ 🦾

@tcosta @brotzky UI defines the scope of conversation with AI, such that it can actually be useful.

[👋👋 @developsdaniel]

Building a small software business without coding… almost! Yes @boltdotnew is amazing :). #buildinpublic #indiehacking

“I am quitting because I said publicly pre-launch that my opinion is the product my company is about to launch is not as good as the competitions, and for some reason they don’t like that” - lol.

I resigned from xAI tonight.
It makes me very sad, but was the right thing to do -- and here's why.

xAI told me I either had to delete the post quoted below, or face being fired.

After reviewing everything and thinking a lot, I've decided that I'm not going to delete the post -- which is very clearly a harmless personal opinion.

Why did they tell me to remove this opinion? Well, according to them, the reason is that I acknowledged that Grok 3... exists.

I wish I was joking. I'm not. That's the reason -- the fact that I wrote "Grok 3 (TBD)" is grounds for being fired.

But wait, hasn't Grok 3 been officially acknowledged by xAI? Yes. Yes it has.

I'll post below the official xAI blog post talking about Grok 3, along with many public Elon posts and video where it is repeatedly acknowledged.

To be clear, the post they wanted me to remove is 100% just my personal opinion. I do not know where Grok 3 will stack up against other SOTA models. Hopefully it does well, I don't know. That's why it says "opinion" and "to be determined."

It will probably be pretty good at some things and imperfect at others. I didn't think this was a particularly wild opinion.

Again, their official demand said that even writing "Grok 3 - TBD" is somehow "confidential information." This is absolutely absurd, since it's repeatedly been acknowledged by the company and its famous CEO.

Are they mad that my clearly-labeled opinion didn't guess that the still-unreleased Grok 3 will be higher? Maybe. Probably. Again, maybe it is at the top, I genuinely don't know. That's why it says "to be determined."

The specific feature of Grok I spent the majority of my time working on with a really hard-working team is very cool and I hope it works extremely well for everyone. I won't say what it is because that would be **actual** confidential information. (Maybe after it comes out.)

I still hope Elon and xAI win. Yet......

It's very disappointing to me that a company and leaders who supposedly champion free speech and openness would try to fire a low-level employee over a clearly-labeled opinion that contains absolutely nothing controversial, but here we are.

The entire situation has been very strange. I thought about just deleting the damn thing.... But you know, once you start caving and giving up holding mild personal opinions, the slope becomes very slippery.

I'll keep my speech and dignity and get another job, or build one. Catch ya on the flip side.

@deltree88 Did you get this resolved? I'm having really bizarre output and streaming llama doesn't seem to work well. Even in their playground.

@code @missthapaliya Are you saying you can push with vscode UI?

Problem: You want to use Node with TypeScript.

Solutions:
tsc (compile, then run js via node)
ts-node
tsx
Bun
esbuild
swc
babel-node
vite-note

My favorites? Bun or tsx.

Both are fast, low/no config, and have watch mode built in.

@AtharvaSharmaX @BHolmesDev Good code effectively and clearly implements business logic which is almost never self-explanatory.

[👋👋 @developsdaniel]

@BHolmesDev Agreed.

Code doesn’t document business logic, it implements it.

The self-documenting code myth is perpetuated by algorithm writers who haven’t dealt with or don’t care to deal with business logic.

PSA: Use `crypto.randomUUID()`, NOT the `uuid` library. It's a lot faster, and it's zero cost on your bundle size.

Available in all modern browsers, and all actively supported versions of Node.

[Pontus Abrahamsson @pontusab]

What if more libraries were like @shadcn—just copy and paste into your codebase, then tweak to your preference?

[👋👋 @developsdaniel]

@4xfelix @thekitze Agree on the second part.

Re state removal - it’s about separation of concerns - no distance is usually small enough to “just pass it as props” instead of subscribing again.

It makes it much easier to move components around, optimise, and maintain.

[👋👋 @developsdaniel]

@thekitze useSyncExternalStore is the truest state management primitive.
