If they can eliminate Ali Khamenei with surgical precision, why did they have to bomb the classrooms? Why murder the kids?

I didn’t want to return to this space. But after seeing over 80 schoolgirls killed today, hearing their families scream as they search frantically through rubble, I was pulled straight back to Gaza. There is something uniquely horrific about the killing of children.

At what point do we stop pretending this is collateral damage and recognize it clearly as the preferred tactic of the Jewish state?

There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said. I’m not a reporter. I’m not a journalist. And none of this came as a surprise.

This is a war that Netanyahu himself openly demanded for decades. The escalation didn’t fall from the sky. It was built, speech by speech, policy by policy, threat by threat.

Everyone had the opportunity to make noise. To resist and refuse it. And yet here we are.

I don’t have analysis to offer. I have grief. And anger. And a refusal to pretend this was inevitable.

May Iran prevail against the enemies of humanity, and may Israel collapse into hell where they can finally meet their lord Ba’al and face the consequence of their devotion.

From Shells to Seconds: The Evolution of Commerce

Commerce has always been driven by convenience.
🪙 Once, we bartered with shells, cattle, and grains.
🛒 Then came currency and marketplaces, making trade easier.
💻 Fast forward to the internet age, eCommerce revolutionised how we buy.

But the modern consumer doesn’t just want convenience. They want it now.

⚡ Quick Commerce is the new frontier.
Groceries, medicines, meals, delivered in minutes, not days.
It’s not a luxury anymore, it’s an expectation.

We’re living in a time where the streets are filled with delivery agents, tech is at our fingertips, and the infrastructure is ready. This is the perfect moment to build a future forward quick commerce business.

At @hyperzod, we empower entrepreneurs to launch and scale in this era of instant gratification with an ecosystem that delivers speed, control, and growth.

A lot of people quote tweeted this as 1 year anniversary of vibe coding. Some retrospective -

I've had a Twitter account for 17 years now (omg) and I still can't predict my tweet engagement basically at all. This was a shower of thoughts throwaway tweet that I just fired off without thinking but somehow it minted a fitting name at the right moment for something that a lot of people were feeling at the same time, so here we are: vibe coding is now mentioned on my Wikipedia as a major memetic "contribution" and even its article is longer. lol

The one thing I'd add is that at the time, LLM capability was low enough that you'd mostly use vibe coding for fun throwaway projects, demos and explorations. It was good fun and it almost worked. Today (1 year later), programming via LLM agents is increasingly becoming a default workflow for professionals, except with more oversight and scrutiny. The goal is to claim the leverage from the use of agents but without any compromise on the quality of the software. Many people have tried to come up with a better name for this to differentiate it from vibe coding, personally my current favorite "agentic engineering":

- "agentic" because the new default is that you are not writing the code directly 99% of the time, you are orchestrating agents who do and acting as oversight.
- "engineering" to emphasize that there is an art & science and expertise to it. It's something you can learn and become better at, with its own depth of a different kind.

In 2026, we're likely to see continued improvements on both the model layer and the new agent layer. I feel excited about the product of the two and another year of progress.

Salaam 👋 Founder of the Pillars app here (2M+ downloads alhamdullilah)

I've been really resisting commenting on this saga (been sent it by about 10+ different people lol) but there's quite a lot of concerning factors here ...

1) Muslims MUST own their own infrastructure ... it's not even negotiable at this point if you know how Muslims have been BURNED in the past.

2) We must respect our religious practices like prayer and imagery around it. Having been building in this space now for 3-4 years I've grown to realise that it's more of a burden/onous building in this space than any sort of "glory" ... the weight I carry with myself everyday is honestly insane ... everything has to be done SO carefully because of what you're dealing with and how important it is .... if you want proof speak to any of my team and tell them how careful I am with product reviews & marketing decisions.

Non-Muslims on the other hand will feel NONE of this ...

If you can imagine the crazy stuff that (some) Muslims are already doing with AI, UGC, inappropraite content, and in-app features that are way past the red line ... where do you think this will go?

3) We literally built Pillars because Muslims got completely burned by some of the biggest Muslim apps (that weren't even owned by Muslims) .... we cannot allow this cycle to happen ever again.

WIth all due respect to builders on this platform ... enjoy building in other spaces ... but this is a red line for us.

And for Muslims building in this space but not acting accordingly (i.e. within Islamic guidelines/ettiquite) ... we've seen you ... we've noted who you are ... and we won't forget what you sold for a couple of $.

Salaam ✌️

We spent the last several months prepping this Laracasts series - and it's out now!

3 hours of AI techniques, tips, and demystifications for working developers.

And I'm so happy to say that it's completely, entirely, unconditionally FREE to watch.

Looked like a meme at first, now I'm trying the Ralph loop in 2 of my tasks

[Ben Williams @theplgeek]

ralph-tui is cooking. All-in-one ralph engine with e2e observability

- extensible by design
- plugin agents (ships with cc and @opencode plugins)
- plugin trackers (ships with json, beads, and beads-bv plugins)
- built in interactive prd creator (leverages skills)
- auto prd conversion to selected tracker format
- customisable prompts
- understands task dependencies and actionability
- quickstart

Overkill? Perhaps.
Useful? Absolutely.
A blast to use? Hell yes!

Let's go #ralphwiggum

Aiming to publish later today

@mattpocockuk @ryancarson @Steve_Yegge @doodlestein @GeoffreyHuntley

PS: Initial iteration built with ralph scripts. Subsequent iterations built with ralph-tui
