after first customers, been working on extending functionality of https://t.co/iDHfRUukS0 there were a lot of changes recently and it now supports GitHub and also Google for authentication source in addition to GitLab. take a look if need private #dartlang or #flutter registry.
@pumfleet security by obscurity was never a solution neither for open source nor for closed source. it just scared low level criminals and kept the field only for those highly founded actors to enjoy and thrive while the majority "thought" is secure.
@pumfleet such b*shit, just buckle up, use same (or better) AI tools to find and fix bugs and ship fast. if that is the problem, advantage is on your (and on open source) side. this is not killing OS, its going to elevate it to much higher quality!
@den_dominik Der Finanzamt findet Nadel im Heuhaufen, habt ihr aber jahrelang die Augen geschlossen weil eh warum nicht die Gelder die aus der Tasche von millionen Iraner ausgeraubt wird nicht zu akzeptieren?! jetzt seid ihr plötzlich darauf aufmerksam geworden!
@hhariri How do you verify correctness of the software without reading it? Do you test all possible cases? How do you know AI has no trojan in there or a catastrophic case could not happen? Humans make mistake too but they also take the responsibility

Shipping code that you have not read is kind of hype for now, but I know developers who have done that for years already!! And believe me, that has been in much worse shape than #AI code!
in current storm of untested AI code flooding our land (of software) I thought its a good idea to give an update on how I do test Java Spring Boot. its kind of an update to same/similar concept I wrote about years ago with some updates and more details https://t.co/J4IowFelci
Was just playing around with Nano Banana Pro for some photo edits and it blow my mind what it can do in 4k resolution. Don’t trust your eyes anymore and don’t trust anyone who says can detect AI work!
#Claude subscription is now the largest single bill on my regular monthly expenses. higher than my car's insurance (and I have an expensive one). this is how #AI is making us addicted! and we are not even close to real costs, AI companies are burning money now!
to reduce some pain (and mitigate security risks) I created a private repository for #dartlang and #flutter that fully integrates with #gitlab authentication and permissions system. read more in my Reddit post: https://t.co/JUFjyGVg0G
seeing many newsletters (even courses) about coding with AI. even though I'm personally struggling to keep up with the relevant news and techniques too, don't believe you can subscribe to one and be done. that is the problem with this area right now: the news is so scattered #ai
I coded a solution using Claude Code which I also code reviewed all the changes along the way. did some manual tests afterwards too and set it online. after some hours just realized a pretty bad bug there. looks like have to step back with my AI coding practices. #ai#vibecoding
I created a Dart package repository integrated with GitLab to be able to publish and consume packages using CI job tokens following permissions configured in GitLab for its native packages: https://t.co/2YD9N4a93L

@adamwathan block training of AI on docs (or make them pay for it a beautiful sum). provide a paid MCP server for the devs to integrate it in their AI agents. that looks the only way forward for such libraries.
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy."
This is about the petrodollar system that has kept America the dominant economic power for 50 years.
And Venezuela just threatened to end it.
Here's what really just happened:
Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.
The largest on Earth.
More than Saudi Arabia.
20% of the entire world's oil.
But here's the part that matters:
Venezuela was actively selling that oil in Chinese yuan. Not dollars.
In 2018, Venezuela announced it would "free itself from the dollar."
They started accepting yuan, euros, rubles, anything BUT dollars for oil.
They were petitioning to join BRICS.
They were building direct payment channels with China that bypass SWIFT entirely.
And they were sitting on enough oil to fund de-dollarization for decades.
Why does this matter?
Because the entire American financial system is built on one thing:
The petrodollar.
In 1974, Henry Kissinger made a deal with Saudi Arabia:
All oil sold globally must be priced in US dollars.
In exchange, America provides military protection.
This single agreement created artificial demand for dollars worldwide.
Every country on Earth needs dollars to buy oil.
This lets America print unlimited money while other countries work for it.
It funds the military. The welfare state. The deficit spending.
The petrodollar is more important to US hegemony than aircraft carriers.
And there's a pattern of what happens to leaders who challenge it:
2000: Saddam Hussein announces Iraq will sell oil in euros instead of dollars.
2003: Invaded. Regime change. Iraq's oil immediately switched back to dollars. Saddam lynched.
The WMDs were never found because they never existed.
2009: Gaddafi proposes a gold-backed African currency called the "gold dinar" for oil trade.
Hillary Clinton's own leaked emails confirm this was the PRIMARY reason for intervention.
Email quote: "This gold was intended to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar."
2011: NATO bombs Libya. Gaddafi sodomized and murdered. Libya now has open slave markets.
"We came, we saw, he died!" Clinton laughed on camera.
The gold dinar died with him.
And now Maduro.
With FIVE TIMES more oil than Saddam and Gaddafi combined.
Actively selling in yuan.
Building payment systems outside dollar control.
Petitioning to join BRICS.
Partnered with China, Russia, and Iran.
The three countries leading global de-dollarization.
This isn't coincidence.
Challenge the petrodollar. Get regime changed.
Every. Single. Time.
Stephen Miller (US homeland security advisor) literally said it out loud two weeks ago:
"American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property."
He's not hiding it.
They're claiming Venezuelan oil BELONGS to America because US companies developed it 100 years ago.
By this logic, every nationalized resource in history was "theft."
But here's the DEEPER problem:
The petrodollar is already dying.
Russia sells oil in rubles and yuan since Ukraine.
Saudi Arabia is openly discussing yuan settlements.
Iran has been trading in non-dollar currencies for years.
China built CIPS, their own alternative to SWIFT with 4,800 banks in 185 countries.
BRICS is actively building payment systems that bypass the dollar entirely.
The mBridge project lets central banks settle trades instantly in local currencies.
Venezuela joining BRICS with 303 billion barrels of oil would accelerate this exponentially.
That's what this invasion is really about.
Not stopping drugs. Venezuela accounts for less than 1% of US cocaine.
Not terrorism. There's zero evidence Maduro runs a "terror organization."
Not democracy. The US supports Saudi Arabia, which has zero elections.
This is about maintaining a 50-year-old agreement that lets America print money while the world works for it.
And the consequences are terrifying:
Russia, China, and Iran are already denouncing this as "armed aggression."
China is Venezuela's biggest oil customer. They're losing billions.
BRICS nations are watching a country get invaded for trading outside the dollar.
Every nation considering de-dollarization just got the message:
Challenge the dollar and we will bomb you.
But here's the problem...
That message might accelerate de-dollarization, not stop it.
Because now every country in the Global South knows what happens if you threaten dollar hegemony.
And they're realizing the only protection is to move FASTER.
The timing is insane too:
January 3rd, 2026. Venezuela invaded. Maduro captured.
January 3rd, 1990. Panama invaded. Noriega captured.
36 years apart. Almost to the day.
Same playbook. Same "drug trafficking" excuse.
Same real reason: control of strategic resources and trade routes.
History doesn't repeat. But it rhymes.
What happens next:
Trump's press conference at Mar-a-Lago sets the narrative.
US oil companies are already lined up. Politico reported they've been approached about "returning to Venezuela."
The opposition will be installed. Oil will flow in dollars again.
Venezuela becomes another Iraq. Another Libya.
But here's what nobody's asking:
What happens when you can no longer bomb your way to dollar dominance?
When China has enough economic leverage to retaliate?
When BRICS controls 40% of global GDP and says "no more dollars"?
When the world realizes the petrodollar is maintained by violence?
America just showed its hand.
The question is whether the rest of the world folds or calls the bluff.
Because this invasion is an admission that the dollar can no longer compete on its own merits.
When you have to bomb countries to keep them using your currency, the currency is already dying.
Venezuela isn't the beginning.
It's the desperate end.
What do you think?
as the #LLMs evolve, one aspect of the evolution will be personalisation and that is the start of a very interesting change. there each dev will be replicated by its personalised #codingassistant which is as unique as her/himself and evolves as such.
it has been more than a year that I have been testing and using different #aicodingassistant and there has been a great jump in their capabilities but I still can say for sure they are not going to replace real devs (soon). there are aspects that they don't cover. ...
such a tool is a great addition to a dev's arsenal. an #AIAgent is NOT deterministic, so even with same inputs it might generate different output, now the dev her/himself is a very important parameter in the whole equation and it affects output very much. ...
