Thoughts on OpenAI acquiring Astral and uv/ruff/ty https://t.co/n8otLTbnzS

[Thomas Lazarus @lazarustda]

@_Sagiquarius_ @ivanfioravanti @opencode Here's a tweet from Dax talking about them being unable to upgrade minor versions without having stability issues: https://t.co/6q9ruHaKjk

I'm not saying this is happening on purpose from the Bun/Anthropic side, but it is interesting that it's happening at all

[dax @thdxr]

so far we've tried to upgrade opencode to bun
1.3.6
1.3.7
1.3.8
1.3.9

even with a beta period each time it's caused a huge number of crashes for users so we keep rolling back to 1.3.5

sorry for the churn we're probably going to give up on this for a while

[Thomas Lazarus @lazarustda]

I'm hesitant to say this is a good thing but only time will tell and I'm hopeful with the Astral teams history of building in the open.

I do worry that if AI companies keep acquiring dev tools if those tools will become primarily designed for the LLM and not for developer UX.

[OpenAI Newsroom @OpenAINewsroom]

We've reached an agreement to acquire Astral.

After we close, OpenAI plans for @astral_sh to join our Codex team, with a continued focus on building great tools and advancing the shared mission of making developers more productive.

@awnihannun Congrats!!

[Thomas Lazarus @lazarustda]

@ivanfioravanti @opencode I don't think it's a good sign that developer tools and AI companies are going to be one and the same.

I would like my dev tools to work for me and the LLM be able to leverage them, not the other way around.

[Sebastian Raschka @rasbt]

I (finally) put together a new LLM Architecture Gallery that collects the architecture figures all in one place!

@TheZachMueller What do you have running on that DGX Spark? I've been eyeing one but have been hesitant to pull the trigger vs a Mac Mini 🫣

[Thomas Lazarus @lazarustda]

Has anyone tested how high the usage limits are on this? Is it significantly more than just going pay as you go with an API key?

[OpenCode @opencode]

OpenCode Go is a low cost ($10/month) subscription designed to bring agentic coding to programmers around the world

it provides generous limits and reliable access to the most capable open source models

run /connect and select OpenCode Go to get started

@chrisalbon I've been using a mixture of Codex and Kimi K2.5 through @opencode. Though I've been meaning to give GLM-5 a spin but haven't gotten around to it.

[Thomas Lazarus @lazarustda]

@kitlangton @dillon_mulroy I used https://t.co/4PnJ0BsjWz to get started but found myself forking it and making a bunch of changes fairly quickly

[Thomas Lazarus @lazarustda]

@rasbt @IamKyros69 What are your must read books?

[Thomas Lazarus @lazarustda]

@dillon_mulroy 👀 What"s that `tmux` config?

[Thomas Lazarus @lazarustda]

Where are people buying domains from these days? I saw @vercel just redid their domain buying workflow, but wasn't seeing anything about WHOIS privacy protection.

[GitHub Projects Community @GithubProjects]

Scare a developer with one word.

[Thomas Lazarus @lazarustda]

@chrisalbon I've found this the most helpful when working on "big" problems and when I need a brain break. I can take the break while progress is still being made (sometimes in the wrong direction though lol)

[Thomas Lazarus @lazarustda]

@chrisalbon Tbh my favorite part of using ClaudeCode is letting it run while eating dinner/handing with the family. Then once everyone's asleep I can return and review any changes it made.

In order to celebrate the release of the print version for the Ultra-Scale Playbook (of which I have no affiliation with and love deeply), I'm going to be giving away 5 copies!

To enter, simply like + retweet this tweet. Winners will be selected at random 10AM EST on the 13th

@chrisalbon I've found that giving Claude a focused goal is the best way to get good results. having Claude try and write a complicated Rust app with multiple "flows" was really bad, but once I wrote the foundation it was able to add a small feature that would have been tedious to do myself
