Set up version control, folks.

LLMs are like great junior devs, take advantage of the upside while limiting the potential for damage.

[hayden @haydendevs]

honestly codex destroyed my project beyond saving, its no longer human readable, i need to just restart

[John Beales @johnbeales]

Back to coding with Opus 4.8 😞

[John Beales @johnbeales]

@Shpigford There's a variety called Ferrari that's a skinner-than-usual one WITH NO STRING that's actually pretty great.

But the only way I know to get it is to grow it yourself.

[John Beales @johnbeales]

@IanLandsman Nice! I have a 100-400 and a 1.4x extender, which gives me pretty much the same reach, but I'm jealous of your internal zooming.

[John Beales @johnbeales]

🤣

My Fable 5 access is back!

[Dillon Mulroy @dillon_mulroy]

imagine if they banned all models and we all went back to writing code by hand and the last 6 months were just a fever dream…imagine

[John Beales @johnbeales]

@taylorotwell Montreal!

[Dorian Gray Reply Guy @ChrisJPatty]

Well if anything was going to pop the AI bubble and crash the economy, the government deciding that commercial models are now as advanced as they’re ever allowed to be will surely do it.

While you're waiting for your agents to work, how about you complete the Jetbrains Developer Ecosystem Survey: https://t.co/zXtWTRtzcv

@driesvints Congrats!

How much value can you get from this as an app that's not built on Workers & AI? Or are you going to try to go Cloudflare-native?

[John Beales @johnbeales]

Fable sure loves to use sed.

This map shows annual truck traffic on European main roads, colored by route distance. The map gives a sense of on which corridors the long distance traffic travels and how far the infrastructure interdependencies within the network road reach. Very helpful information when planning charging infrastructure. Source: https://t.co/UxbVIPHAeq HT Jakob Rogstadius

@adamnash Kellog’s Breakfast is my go-to for BLTs! One slice is the size of a normal sandwich, and orange when ripe makes it less attractive to thieves in the community garden.

Always pick the window.

I love it when bad actors end up improving a system.

[Oh Dear @OhDearApp]

Our status pages have been under a DDoS attack at ~1M requests/minute. We spent the past few days putting Varnish in front of our backend to fight back, & as a side-effect every customer status page is now significantly faster 🔥

That glorious moment when you remember you've only had One Coffee and it's still early enough for a Second.

[John Beales @johnbeales]

@jeffrey_way I've had a nearly 100% agentic process for the thing I've been working on for the last week and a half, and its actually pretty boring.

But I can't argue with the speed of implementation.

For my next thing I'll have to find a better balance.

[John Beales @johnbeales]

@Shpigford You would not believe how clean my apartment is right now.

[John Beales @johnbeales]

Ok, but now my laravel new is hanging.

[John Beales @johnbeales]

Laravel New! (But only for a test).

[John Beales @johnbeales]

Looking forward to seeing what PhpStorm becomes supporting all the agents.

[Brent @brendt_gd]

I'm so on board with this direction:
