@thetomweiss Always building and learning :) — I just need to do a little more on sharing

The entire games industry is about to be disrupted.

[Mario Zechner @badlogicgames]

the clowns will never ever know the beauty and power of true knowledge and skill, which is still relevant in 2026, despite what the clowns want to make you think.

don't be a clown. eat some humble pie while you're at it.

@mrniach Dude this is so cool, I was hacking around with iroh on a little project a while back but never finished it up

Hot take:

If going to events was easy to judge, we probably would not need 10 tabs, 4 group chats, and a last-minute "is this even worth going to?"

That is also why the same low-signal events keep filling feeds. It's hard to tell whether this event will get you that next client, job opportunity or meet good friends.

It is whoever helps people answer:
1. who is actually going
2. was it worth the trip
3. what is the format? Talks vs social dinner

With @openai codex events by @andy_ajt and the team it's obvious: big names, tokens and high talent density curated. It's a no brainer!

Feels like attendee reviews + one place to compare events should have existed already.

That is a big part of why I am building Forkcast.

On Forkcast you get events from Luma, meetup, Eventbrite all in one place plus user reviews.

Should we post exclusive events for a small subscription as well? Or are invite only events not needed?

Check out events for next week here:

if you are a software engineer pivot into infra

@imranye Anytime you make a take, takes less than a few months to see you were on the mark (called agents becoming big a long while back on an Alif livestream)

[Bilal Tariq @jwt_bilal]

@TomasMann1878 A bit behind on the hack - just been going through the calls for it and with my friend we’re gonna put together the hack (done some validating this week and chatting to folk) and get the agent on some outreach!

[Bilal Tariq @jwt_bilal]

@PeterPrins10 @alexdanilowicz Agreed, behind tailscale though right? (Or similar)

[Bilal Tariq @jwt_bilal]

@TheHashton It’s such an interesting point, I’ve literally been handing a project over to a client (day job) and seeing the disparity between how we’re working and they are, and the sheer overwhelm

Even between orgs engineering there’s so much variance in adoption itself

[Bilal Tariq @jwt_bilal]

@TomasMann1878 I’m on a one a month sort of caedence with odd times I’ll do a few 😅 - mad respect

[Jack Cable @jackhcable]

It's been a rough few weeks for security.

I pulled together a guide of the highest-impact actions you can take today: https://t.co/w3QlxkUhhl

@TomasMann1878 @shipyardlondon Dude your here too! (We didn’t get to chat at devday hackathon)

I’m also hacking with ideas atm with a friend

[Tom Mann @TomasMann1878]

Day 1 of @shipyardlondon Hackathon

Building self-running companies with the goal of generating as much money as possible with a £100 budget

Someone has already earned 30 quid by offering a redesign of a steam page

Today I've sent out the swarm to collect ideas and will setup top 10 most promising ideas using @GetRobots_

[Emil Kowalski @emilkowalski]

Published my interaction lab so you can play with it and get some inspiration from it!

It contains the interactions I like the most, will share more of them soon, stay tuned.

I just benchmarked Altoids and I think this is more comprehensive than Cal AI - link below to see the research.

Like the depth of sources for indicators here has surprised me :D

[Bilal Tariq @jwt_bilal]

@MitcheIl I’d be down!

[Bilal Tariq @jwt_bilal]

@carlagriffs @rowans_planet Looking fwd to it 👏🏾

[carla @carlagriffs]

excited for this! Come join us and hang

[Bilal Tariq @jwt_bilal]

@rowans_planet @p0 @incident_io @carlagriffs @gamalmub This should be fun! Interested in seeing the visual hacks people’ll put together off the data 👀
