@celinehalioua Sadly, a reboot might fix this. But I’d go for another launcher. Sherlock is worth a look.

@EmanuelDerman @TheStalwart @TuhinChakr And many of the tics can be prompted out. https://t.co/tF3zkHNknG

@SahilBloom @Brady_H Did pitching make you a runner? As a college pitcher I was always running, but haven’t done much since then (endurance work has been on a road bike). But thinking about running again given its ease and efficiency. Though, I’m 20 years older now.

@mitchellh It’s also interesting that Anthropic isn’t stemming the vitriol given they want to maximize the devs that love them.

Confoundingly, there is a smaller gap between the top and bottom of the AI curve than the middle right now.

Enjoy @Cloudflare being most everything you need below the surface.

@karpathy @ycombinator I’ve been surprised by how many docs the LLM/agent seems to be able to manage. My personal OS is well over 1k md files, and, though I feel the pull of RAG, I haven’t needed it yet. With context expansion and progress in CL, maybe I’ll never have to.

@GoogleAI getting ready for that @SpaceX IPO with some world class hallulus

[Charu Sharma (YC W26) @charu1603]

As a 3x founder, I came to @ycombinator W26 with many opinions. E.g, work in stealth, then launch on WSJ/NYT.

YC pushed me to do the opposite. Launch embarrassingly early. Then relaunch, and keep doing it.

That shift has been strangely liberating. Less ego, more experiments / faster learning.

When in doubt, launch! And apply to YC, it will change your life! 💜

Been using @mitchellh’s ghostty for a while. Noticed some oddity in a TUI output. I opened iTerm to see if I could reproduce it, and was smacked in the face by this beauty.

[Ashley Mayer @ashleymayer]

The most visible tech companies are increasingly casting themselves as the hero in their own story, and in doing so, risk becoming the villain in everyone else’s.

Apple was never the hero - the creative misfit was.
Nike was never the hero - the everyday athlete was.
Youtube was never the hero - the creator was.
Airbnb was never the hero - the host was.
Stripe was never the hero - the developer was.
Figma was never the hero - the designer was.

The best brands make someone else the protagonist.

When you cast yourself as the hero, you turn your users into NPCs. The relationship becomes transactional, or worse: predatory (we’ll replace you, just give us time).

This is why we (individual companies, and the tech industry at large) need better stories about the future. Stories that aren’t centered on ARR, record-breaking valuations, circular dealmaking. Stories that are anchored in people, potential and a vision for the future that goes beyond numbers.

Right now tech is mostly talking to tech, so we’re getting away with a lot. But that’s not sustainable. It’s time to think a few steps ahead.

@eastdakota @Cloudflare Rails would be cool, but I’ll take more focus on the Python/fastapi offering

[Donnie Millar @dmillar]

@mitchellh This is essentially how we controlled sensitive code at Goldman. It worked great.

[Donnie Millar @dmillar]

@mitchellh Oh. Caps -> esc for me, ~ and : also accepted

[Donnie Millar @dmillar]

@jasonfried @ThatEricAlper This is also (and always) my answer

[Donnie Millar @dmillar]

@patrick_oshag Lots of good stuff in the replies, but hadn’t seen these: The Dog Stars, A Secret History

[Donnie Millar @dmillar]

@dhh @Bryce96915609 @OmarchyLinux Somewhat surprised given your relatively recent vim conversion, it doesn’t default to esc. But kudos for doing something with the most wasted space on the keyboard by default.

@celinehalioua Anecdotally, seems to be Whitney Wolfe. But I’m in Salt Lake, so possibly biased.

Big, systemic red flag if your CTO/DevOps manager has recently suggested (Astronomer) Airflow to run ML/AI pipelines
