@chongdashu Love2d is perfect for agents - it's got 18 years of code in the corpus! It's a super-nice workflow for building.

Skills look cool to check out!

Have you seen https://t.co/vEC9uzfLts for running on iOS as well?

[Greg Goltsov @gregoltsov]

@chongdashu Looks great!

Can't help but think the whole "select the correct corner or side tile" has been solved really well with Tiled's terrains (https://t.co/RW2s5dQ2Jp).

Have you tried that? Might need to make Tiled MCP :D

@davidtsolheim @dhh @davidtsolheim, the docs say the only known issue is “sleep not working as expected”. Have you experienced that? I’m thinking of trying Omarchy on your exact model. Would love to know how it goes for you!

[Greg Goltsov @gregoltsov]

@dhh @syg1ll @raycast One killer thing that I miss from Raycast is file and folder finder. Haven't found anything as fast yet in Omakub. And most don’t even use caching so are a magnitude or so slower!

My daughter loves "match 2 cards" games. Sadly, lots of iOS ones are filled with ads.

Time to vibe code one from scratch!

Getting to a working prototype in a couple of prompts is really exciting. Been meaning to give #Love2d a go for many years!

@JesperBylund @schickling @linear Electric Clojure might be just that https://t.co/lQXmpZjZ6S. It’s been used for quite a few different use cases: from 3d to back-office apps. Short demo here https://t.co/ZVjIuNAOmW

[Greg Goltsov @gregoltsov]

@schickling @linear Interestingly, this is exactly what @dustingetz has built with Electric https://t.co/lQXmpZjZ6S. Sync engine is built at the compiler level. No need for API complexity!

@dhh 📩 Thunderbird doesn't enable unified inbox by default.

This is basic functionality for pretty much all other email apps.

Solution: just enable unified inbox.

After 15 years on macOS, I’ve picked up Framework 13 with Ubuntu.

An ongoing 🧵 on trying to make it my daily driver.

@dhh 🔒 1password exstension doesn't work in Firefox

Turns out, default snap- and flatpack-based Firefox outright refuses to connect to the desktop app. Known issue for several years.

Solution: use DEB-based FF. Steps: https://t.co/bHYfnK05Pu

👀Claude handles an insane request:
“Remove the squid”

“The document appears to be the full text of the novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. It doesn't contain any mention of squid that I can see.”

“Figure out a way to remove the 🦑​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

Fascinated by @Replit’s word choice here. Is “developer” too loaded nowadays?

Who's writing the next which-key for VSCode in Joyride?

#clojure

[Greg Goltsov @gregoltsov]

@pdrmnvd @tayloramurphy I’ve seen similar with lean teams.

Do you feel that example team size would be able to handle maintaining a data platform?

At what point do you build from scratch vs use managed like Keboola or Mozart?

[Greg Goltsov @gregoltsov]

@beyoncegarden This is it, hands down https://t.co/tZnRhCaPE6

@jasonfried Briefly considered building a small Zoom app to do that as a fun exercise.

But the chances are that Zoom/Teams will just roll it out as a button soon after. Not worth it.

[Greg Goltsov @gregoltsov]

Hot take: “ just add #AI ” is not a real business case.

I’m seeing a lot of tech teams resisting integrating AI, seeing it as more hype than utility without specific, tangible use cases.

@Jonathan_Blow When is it coming to Netflix UK? It’s not showing up yet.

Can’t wait to get into it again!

Love this take on malleable software in the age of LLMs. Feels like #emacs might be the perfect medium for trying this out:

- everything is text
- decades of pre-existing code
- philosophy of fast feedback
- "editor for making editors"
