@TheShawnHendrix I’ve had very little issues with my Tesla over eight years, and just three days ago my right B-pillar camera went out and hasn’t comeback. It’s tough being without FSD supervised on the commute.

@stevesi @mahdi_tcs_ Add it to the list of things to do when you secure a time machine

@stevesi @mahdi_tcs_ Cross-file spreadsheet linking sure made it difficult to move enterprise users (especially in finance roles) from file shares to Teams / SharePoint.

@DarnTough caring for people grieving their mothers is good business. ♥️

@TheShawnHendrix Looks like grounding wire

@SJFriedl @stevesi @DarnTough I was just going to chime in on @DarnTough as well. I invested in three pairs at the start of my first winter here in New England. Solid socks 🧦

I just now learned/realized that @daringfireball and @aaronsw invented Markdown.

@TheShawnHendrix Add Furnace to your list

@TheShawnHendrix That is a massive dog you have.

This is counterintuitive for some, which is why there’s a paradox named after it. But if you lower the cost of something that was previously supply constrained, demand for that thing goes up. Software engineering is just one of the easiest examples to contemplate.

The process goes like this: every small business, every IT team, every large enterprise sees that engineering can now drive vastly more output. They then start to consider all the new things they can build or automate. They even test building prototypes themselves.

They only get so far with that approach because they realize there are still 50 other tasks that go into building software and maintaining it. So they start to hire more engineers to do that work. All of this for work they never would have considered automating or having software for if AI didn’t exist.

So yes, automating tasks, in plenty of fields, will lead to demand for experts, not less.

Static code analysis market is getting disrupted. Exciting times for AI and DevSecOps

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Code Security, now in limited research preview.

It scans codebases for vulnerabilities and suggests targeted software patches for human review, allowing teams to find and fix issues that traditional tools often miss.

@stevesi @gassee Those BeBoxes were from a bygone era… when the back of your computer looked like mission control. Then USB hit the scene.

I did not expect the book, Vibe Coding to have an amusing rant about the UX of Git.

[Brian @lifeofbrian]

This is impressive. These days I often vibe code Python scripts to clean up excel and csv files, and now we can reliably do them with prompts. 👏 @claudeai 👏

[Claude @claudeai]

Claude in Excel is now available on Pro plans.

Claude now accepts multiple files via drag and drop, avoids overwriting your existing cells, and handles longer sessions with auto compaction.

To those that celebrate, #GoHawks!
