Just open sourced a React Native library for on device NSFW image detection using CoreML 📱

It runs fully on iOS, classifies images locally, and doesn’t send any data to a server.

Repo: https://t.co/30Ga0tIkoY

If you’re building React Native apps and need privacy friendly image moderation, check it out and please give the repository a star ⭐️

There’ll be times where you over-guide the AI. It knows better than you and is more intelligent than you.

There’ll be times where you under-guide the AI. It can go off-track, have the wrong biases, or miss context.

How well you manage this superpower is the #0 skill I look for.

[Jean-Michel Lemieux @jmwind]

Same, wrong level of abstraction for this next phase. They had a good run.

Sadly canceling our linear subscription as we just don’t use it anymore

Planning happens in a Slack canvas with very high level goals and constraints

Features gets shipped in a few hours, or days max

Roadmaps don’t get further than a month

[The Pragmatic Engineer @Pragmatic_Eng]

Why a 3x CTO went back to a 25-person team. From Will Larson @lethain, Imprint CTO and 4x book author.

"It's a hard time in middle management, right? There's a lot more competition for these roles. What I found personally very rewarding is getting back into the details of writing software.

When I left Carta, my team was around 250. When I joined Imprint, the team I was leading was 25.

This a unique moment to actually re-skill. If you're in management, I think right now either you have to get back into the details, or the world is changing so radically that the profession you know will not be valued in three years. You sort of have to decide, am I retiring now or am I re-skilling?

I think there has to be some openness to taking a backward step or a lateral step. What I knew I wanted was getting back into the details and relearning how to do software in the current age. That's what I believe is going to be the unlock to the longevity of my career."

If your company needs software dev help, I’d love to talk to you! I have some amazing experienced US-based devs on the bench who are very good at using agents and have a high quality bar.

We are best at mobile and web and desktop apps, but can do much more than that.

Average experience level is 15 years. You’ll love working with them. Great people, excellent devs.

Appreciate retweets and any referrals!

I think many of us working in tech tend to forget that the reason software engineering vs other engineering fields pays (a lot!) more, is a lot more flexible (WFH/remote), and has better perks:

Because this field changes much faster than other engineering fields. The premium is because fewer people are able/willing to pick up new technologies, methodologies so quickly.

But the field had ~10-20 years of stability, and so lots of folks forgot this is why a premium exists. And that AI is just another tech wave: software engineers who pick it up and master it will generally fare better; those not will struggle a lot more.

Anthropic engineer:

“Anthropic hired me at $350K–$950K because I know how to build harnesses.

99% of people still hand-roll multi-agent systems and wonder why they break.

I build systems that run loops + sandbox tools + turn yesterday’s logs into new skills — same model, 10x more reliable agents that keep improving overnight.”

Opus 5.5 → Agents → Harness → Loops → Graphs

In a short workshop, he shows exactly how to build one from scratch.

step 1 → harness handles loops, context, and sandboxing

step 2 → brain and hands separated — 60% faster to first token

step 3 → runs server-side, resumes from the log after crashes

step 4 → failure is cheap — retry and replay instead of starting over

step 5 → yesterday’s logs become new memory — the system wakes up smarter

Anthropic calls this “dreaming”.

Most people spend weeks building this by hand.
You don’t have to.

Bookmark and watch it.

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

It's fascinating how @alexandr_wang's 200 direct reports or my 120 direct reports (in the Xtreme Labs days) looks so much like the old Pivotal Labs 2-6 ppl pairing pods 🤔
* super small expert generalist teams
* high fidelity IRL collaboration
* prototyping w/ code over specs
* high intensity
* unscheduled 1:1's vs. scheduled

loving the new self-approval feature, thanks @github !

ANTHROPIC's DEPUTY CHIEF INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER: "as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better."

[Mauricio Meirelles @mauriciom]

🚀 One of the coolest things I've built recently at @Shopify is Live Preview for remote mobile development!

Our AI agents can build and test iOS and Android apps remotely, and now anyone can jump into their running simulator or emulator directly from a browser!

No local setup, no builds to install, just share a link and try it yourself! 🤯

[Mustafa Ali @mustafa01ali]

Local machines had become a bottleneck for agentic mobile development at @Shopify, so we gave agents their own remote dev environments. They now author 61% of our merged PRs 🧵

[Expo @expo]

Here's the loop we see modern apps run on:

build → verify → deploy → observe → update → build again...

We're (very) close to shipping some services that will make this fast, safe, and flexible.

If the last year has been wild, the next year will be science fiction.

[Node.js @nodejs]

🔐 Node.js security updates are now available!

New releases for Node.js 22.x, 24.x & 26.x address multiple vulnerabilities, including high-severity issues.

Review the details and update your systems to stay secure.

We're making Shopify's mobile apps self-healing.

Agents watch production 24x7 for new crashes, reproduce them, write and verify a fix, then generate a short video explaining the root cause and the fix. Much faster to digest than the usual wall of text.

An engineer then just reviews and ships it.
