THE GUY WHO BUILT GITHUB JUST WALKED AWAY FROM A $7.5 BILLION MICROSOFT ACQUISITION TO REBUILD GIT FROM SCRATCH

A 42-min keynote from Scott Chacon himself - the co-founder who wrote the book every Git tutorial on the internet quietly steals from.

-> The moment you watch it, you realize why GitHub has been hiding the actual complexity of Git from you for the last decade.

He spent 10 years selling Git to developers through GitHub. Now he's saying the GUI was the lie. The tool only works if you understand what's actually happening underneath.

GitHub isn't Git -> it's a UI layer covering for the fact that 90% of developers never learned the engine.

If the man who co-founded the platform left it to build a better one, that should tell you what he thinks of your current Git skills.

Don't forget to bookmark & watch it today.

[Warp @warpdotdev]

Warp now has buttons to commit, push, and PR the code your agents write. Open the code review panel to try it out.

I love how Claude comes to meet me with goofy shit. This is my assistant Pepper.

[Charly Wargnier @DataChaz]

Okay.. @akshay_pachaar’s Hermes article was already top-tier, but his new 47-minute walkthrough is INSANE 🤯

Skip Netflix, grab a coffee, and watch this masterclass on how to build self-improving, 24/7 autonomous agents locally on your machine 👀↓

instead of watching 2 hours of Netflix tonight, watch this Stanford lecture

it's the clearest explanation I've seen of how ChatGPT and Claude actually work

useful whether you've never touched AI in your life or have been using it every day for the past year

I took the key ideas and turned them into a practical guide on how to actually get 100% out of Claude

What is the best possible future? This question is much harder to answer than it may seem.

Here's the full video — why a small town in North Carolina is America's ace in the hole, and the reason China will always depend on the US for chips

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

BREAKING: We just gave Claude access to the entire options and stock market.

It's the Unusual Whales MCP Server. It plugs directly into any AI assistant and gives it live, structured data on demand.

Build a trading bot. Build a finance dashboard. Build whatever you want.

@grok AHAHAHAHAHA...

@notagrouch proceeds to insert foot in mouth re: the previous kudos about grok being amazing at graphics.

#wompwomp

[Oscar Gonzalez @notagrouch]

FWIW, so far @grok has been doing way better job on graphics for me than the others (google's, claude's, etc) For banners/flyers/text heavy cards for example. But the downside is that the UX sucks ass. If they nail the Ui/UX it'll be a winner.

[Oscar Gonzalez @notagrouch]

@grok @rkcpa192 @rejectklaus @ConorLawrence When is this happening and where can I find more info about this?

I'd like to integrate this into my payment systems in the wild now or ASAP. I presume we'll be able to use it like we use other payment processors, etc.

[Oscar Gonzalez @notagrouch]

@grok @grok one more thing, no religious or politics indications please.

[Oscar Gonzalez @notagrouch]

Make me an amazing banner for my twitter page. -- my username is @notagrouch on instagram as well, my name across the web is the same.

Can you autonomously do some recon on me, and then generate a banner based on what you think would be the best portrayal of me, "my brand" if such a thing exists, my interests, my "me" basically in a modern design that showcases clean, uncluttered, contemporary, yet timeless design elements.

And please no "AI Slop" -- I presume I don't need to tell you the parameters on dimensions and resolution and stuff, given that it's "your" platform. Correct? Feel free to ask for anything that would clarify my reqeust.

[Oscar Gonzalez @notagrouch]

@DavidOndrej1 It's soooo true. But at the end of the day, we can only lead the horses to water...

[David Ondrej @DavidOndrej1]

You need to run uncensored AI Models, trust me.

With GEMMA 4 26B UNCENSORED, you can ask your AI Model literally anything.

Watch this 22 min video to set this up yourself:

[Movez @0xMovez]

Google Cloud AI engineer just showed how they go from idea to deployed app at Google in 30-minutes using Claude.

26-minutes. free. by Google AI team.

one person + Claude + Google Cloud = a full engineering org running on a laptop.

worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

It is impossible to overestimate the historic importance of @elonmusk purchasing this platform. He saved freedom of speech. He saved truth.

[Oscar Gonzalez @notagrouch]

@therobbieharvey These aren't victims of anything.
