On perfectionism:

You will never get or make it perfect in first try.

Make it working simply first then continuously improve.

Security reminder.

With new laravel-lang attack, devs will be cautious to update packages.

But also, OLD package versions don't receive security fixes.

If you're on Laravel 11 or earlier, no security updates.

Update to a newer version.

Want to understand what users actually pay attention to? 👀

Eye tracking helps UX researchers see where users look, what captures their attention, and where friction appears inside an experience.

These insights help teams improve usability, optimize layouts, and make design decisions based on real user behavior, not assumptions ✨

The way people visually interact with a product reveals patterns that traditional feedback can easily miss.

If you want to explore how eye tracking works, its benefits, limitations, and best practices in UX research, read the full topic definition here 💙

Never skip understanding.

[DHH @dhh]

The reason agents are so good at Linux is that all 40 million lines of kernel code was part of the pre training. Along with every other open source dependency. This really does make every obscure error message shallow, and the system completely malleable.

[Jim Merioles @jimmerioles]

The agent is the driver.

[Jim Merioles @jimmerioles]

The model is the engine. The harness is the car.

So used to burning the midnight oil that it routinely awakens something best in me 🧑‍💻🔥

We're introducing a wave of new developer tools to help you build, test, and optimize agentic web experiences.

💥 Game changer for Web Development announced at GoogleIO- Modern Web Guidance! It’s expert-vetted skills for web development based on best practices of latest specs and APIs.

It ensures your agent/coding harness doesn’t default to older and out of date patterns to build sites.

I wanted to share a bunch of my favorite hidden and under-utilized features in Claude Code. I'll focus on the ones I use the most.

Here goes.

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.

My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.

So, here goes.

So accurate af 🤣

[Cipher @Cipher_twt]

So true

This is more relevant now for digital products due to AI.

So in fundamentally truth sense:

The brain is a self-updating predictive network that builds a useful model of reality to guide survival, and the experience of “self” is an emergent story created by that system.

[Jim Merioles @jimmerioles]

Our brain is fundamentally a meat prediction machine.

[Jim Merioles @jimmerioles]

Main goal is: efficiency + survival prediction

That's why:
- habits form
- biases exist
- shortcuts dominate thinking
