Mark my words, I will never update slack.

[John @johnbhiggins]

Feels like an end of an era.

@addyosmani thanks for everything you've done over the years.

Always delightful to hear from you and what you're working on.

[Alex Volkov @altryne]

Jus learned that @addyosmani left Google?!

What a miss, Addy has been and remains a devrel icon of mine since before I moved to the US!

I really really hope it had nothing to do with the workspace CLI tweet and its backlash

Good luck Addy, can't wait to see what you do next!

I have updated Adobe's creative cloud app 9 thousand times and never once added a feature I needed.

Prompt engineering isn't engineering until there's an eval underneath it. Before that, you're just being superstitious in a text box.

[John @johnbhiggins]

Prompting tip

Ask an agent/model what is hard for it.

Then ask for how to fix those things.

[John @johnbhiggins]

We get Fable back this week?

[John @johnbhiggins]

Could really use one of those Fable resets.

[John @johnbhiggins]

100%

This accounts for the wild swings of evaluation you see, some hate models some love models.

The "L" in LLM means that the scope of the capabilities is so vast that any global metric is basically meaningless.

The only thing that matters is whether the model is good at whatever you need it to be good at.

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

We need more niche benches.

We need ios-bench.
We need ts-bench.
We need baseball-bench.
We need yt-thumbnail-bench.

We need way more creativity in how we measure what models can do.

[Satyam @sattyyouneed]

Guys what do u do when Claude & Codex hits limits?

[John @johnbhiggins]

@sandislonjsak I actually think it's partly a function of those who spent much of their life without llms and lived through the rise of internet and personal computing.

I also think there's a woeful dearth of curiosity and delight.

[John @johnbhiggins]

For the record, I'm impressed by

Every.
Single.
Release.

LLMs are still magic to me.

[Sandi Slonjšak @sandislonjsak]

Mark my words:

Everyone will be super unimpressed with Mythos when Anthropic drops it tomorrow

[John @johnbhiggins]

Lost naming opportunity:

"Just landed Sub Sub Sub Sub Subagent support in Claude Code"

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

Just landed nested subagent support in Claude Code

Starting to experiment more with agents kicking off agents as a way to better manage context. Capped at depth=5 to start, going out in today’s release.

Lmk what you think!

[John @johnbhiggins]

Google+ is back...but only if you have 100k followers on a social network.

[Barry Schwartz @rustybrick]

[FlutterFlow @flutterflow]

FF Designer 1.0 is out of beta.

multiplayer collaboration.

PowerPoint import and export.
native Windows app. (YES. finally here.)
2x faster generation. higher quality output.

one canvas for your whole team...and for every screen size.

[Emma Twersky @twerske]

I just reviewed the 54+ talks at 18+ events my team will be presenting in the next 7 months.

When I say Flutter is Everywhere, it's because we're on every platform and trying to go as many places digitally and in-person that we can.

So... what Flutter topics do you want to see most?

[John @johnbhiggins]

pretty sus

[John @johnbhiggins]

Told Claude I needed to fix a bug on x feature.

[Viktor Lidholt @viktorlidholt]

Dart must easily be the most versatile computer language out there. 🎯

* Runs as a scripting language (like Python)
* Compiles to kernel code (like Java’s bytecode)
* Compiles to native code (like Swift)
* Compiles to JavaScript (like TypeScript)
* Compiles to WASM (unlike TypeScript)
* Has sound null safety (like Rust)
* Stateful hot reload (like no one else - Erlang maybe?)
* Runs on virtually any platform (like C/C++)

In addition:

* Has great developer tooling
* Interops easily with other languages
* Has an outstanding UI framework (Flutter)
* Nicely mixes with native UI components
* Is really easy to learn and work with

Today, I learned that the full compiler, analyzer, and tooling can even run on a web page. Mind blown. 🤯 What else did I miss?

@suekhim Coding!
