Excited for this next step for @pspdfkit. Thanks to everyone who supported us on the way to here, special shout-out to PSPDFKit's new CTO @cloud8421.

PSPDFkit raises $116M, its first outside money; now nearly 1B people use apps powered by its collaboration, signing and markup tools https://t.co/uOMQw2vv2H by @ingridlunden

@mitsuhiko I used to look forward to Houdini solving this… alas that died

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

Very excited that we can publicly show this soon.

[Jonathan Rhyne @jdrhyne]

We've been cooking @nutrientdocs on a PDF, DOCX, and other common document file types converter to Markdown packaged as a simple CLI library. On all our benchmarks we've done so far it's the fastest available by a long shot, most token efficient, and on par with accuracy of the top libraries.

- 2x faster than liteparse that was just released.
- 5x faster than pymupdf
- 4x faster than markit who @badlogicgames just praised for its speed.
- 3x faster than Microsoft's markitdown.

We'll be releasing the converter as freemium closed sourced here soon. Stay tuned.

Let me know if your interested in early access.

Btw pi does not patronize me by refusing to git reset --hard

Feels like a tool for a more civilized age.

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

Been playing with poor man's fast mode AKA Kimi 2.5 via OpenCode Zen on pi.

Polished and open sourced what I use for making sure my tmux panes on my Hetzner workstation keep being able to access the ssh agent no matter how much I disconnect/reconnect https://t.co/VQkkXWLC3b

Tried to get this to work with caddy and ran into a bug: https://t.co/B0JYgNGUo0

Cool, whatever, worked around it.

Then I ran into a showstopper: @Cloudflare doesn't respect Vary.

There's a lesson here I'm just not sure I like it.

[Bun @bunjavascript]

When Claude Code fetches Bun’s docs, Bun’s docs now send markdown instead of HTML by default

This shrinks token usage for our docs by about 10x

First thing to do with a new B2B vendor is figuring out how to continuously sync the data into your own datalake^W postgres

Salesforce actually has a nice pull based api to sync objects. Other vendors… not so much.

[Thomas Schranz 🍄 @__tosh]

most saas b2b apis have the wrong level of abstraction

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

@terrorobe Thanks! Switched to it - see other tweet.

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

Second time I ran into this. So codex is now babysitting me? What do you think `--sandbox danger-full-access` is supposed to do? https://t.co/vOcdq8iC05

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

Hardcoding dangerous commands is the Filipino remote driver of autonomous coding. https://t.co/2BjhQKChTk

@SeeLos @cramforce https://t.co/ydyWxqh02d let’s you expose whatever (e.g. a database) as files and folders. Then a [agent|human] can use regular tools to work with them.

@geoffreylitt Reminds me of this 2017 reply from @worrydream to @michael_nielsen :

@SeeLos @cramforce Have you heard of our lord and savior FUSE?

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

Mount shared folders across containers to share env, clone containers to start new work. Snapshots built in. All done via cli. Works for me.

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

I've just been doing Incus containers on my Hetzner box. Not as fancy but runs on my own hw, and 192 GB RAM is nice to have. https://t.co/vkfRLlU4MA and you know… ssh

[Simon Willison @simonw]

Sprites is a very cool new thing: it solves two of my pet problems at once, developer sandbox environments for coding agents and a JSON API for executing untrusted code

I wrote more here: https://t.co/5SlQAINELf

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

https://t.co/HDlaMN14wG that looks like a really nice programming language

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

@PragTob @elixirlang @true_droid 😊Very kind words, thank you! If you're looking for a place to be around smart people doing things like that - we're always looking for driven people @pspdfkit https://t.co/7my37fEdTf

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

You know what’s cool? Building things.

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

@ryantm @Replit Thank you, I appreciate it a lot. Can you follow me and I'll DM you all reproduction steps.

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

So what do you (yes, you!) recommend for collaborative coding and hosting of tiny (in this case) Python scripts?

Unfortunately @Replit's Python support seems broken (I failed to get both poetry and the Flask integration to work; also tried the Beta env) so I need an alternative

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

@evadne @Replit Regrettably, this is not that kind of project.

[Martin Schuerrer @MSch]

@rgndws @Replit Was hoping I could avoid notebooks and work with nice, reproducible CLI tooling (in the browser) instead. Maybe Codespaces, but looking for something easier to get started with for inexperienced developers.
