Very soon, it will be possible to preview content changes from pull requests within https://t.co/YbYwb9NqeV, with no redeploy and from our different GitHub repo sources 🥹

This is actually insane, software about to get real weird

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

Currently the number ONE trending repo on GitHub: Reverse Engineer Anything. It lets your agent take a feature you want from another app and work out how it's built without ever seeing the source code.

Software is dead, long live software!

[Oblock @obitopper]

I'd rather have payments match invoices automatically than be digging through bank transactions all afternoon g

Having your coding agent silently run malicious code is nasty as hell

[Sherif @SherifDefi]

Researchers found a zero-click rce bypass this month affecting claude code, openai codex, github copilot, and gemini cli simultaneously.

The mechanism: the agent checks out the exact commit a plugin marketplace pinned, but never verifies the checkout actually landed on that commit.

An attacker controlling the plugin's repo can make the checkout silently resolve to malicious code while the pin still looks honored.

Before trusting any pinned dependency inside an ai coding agent, check what the tool actually verifies after checkout, not just whether it displays a pin.

A pin that's shown and a commit that's enforced are two different claims, and this bug lived specifically in that gap.

[Obie Fernandez @obie]

Saw someone on here expressing disbelief that anyone can exhaust the usage limits on a Claude max plan on any sort of regular basis and it amused me so much.

I'm 52 years old, have been a high-ambition software professional for close to 30 years and I'm pretty sure that THIS WEEK (Oct 4-10) is in fact the most productive week of my entire life, so far. No comparison.

On any given day this week I have been new company building, cutting deals with new partners, writing contracts and presentations, releasing multiple open-source projects, writing articles on X, authoring another significant new book for well known publisher, establishing a new and sophisticated SDLC from scratch...

ON TOP OF personally shipping multiple significant new features on the platform I work on at work, and everything else that I do there as CTO including plenty of phone calls and 1-1 meetings...

ON TOP OF getting enough sleep, spending quality time with my partner, dabbling in ideas for my next music video, planning a party for ADE in Amsterdam, dealing with Spanish visa paperwork nonsense, catching up with friends, planning upcoming travel, watching Season 4 of Succession, and walking my dog.

It's late, so I'm probably forgetting some shit.

Yes, I exhaust the limits of my max plan every few days. What a time to be alive.

[Oblock @obitopper]

Lowkey this is clutch, digging through docs while you're trying to build something gets annoying fast

[0xMarioNawfal @RoundtableSpace]

Someone put Anthropic’s entire developer documentation into one GitHub repo

Claude Code Docs combines APIs, MCP, hooks, skills, and tutorials into a searchable local archive that automatically updates every six hours.

Repo: https://t.co/cg03lM8i9N

[Oblock @obitopper]

I'd use a patch on a tent tear before I sit there sewing that shit by hand

[Oblock @obitopper]

@anshuc this looks like it would eat up my whole night lmao

[Oblock @obitopper]

If you're building with o1js, go update that shit asap

Having to chase somebody down for a plugin update is annoying as hell, automate that shit g

[Matt Pocock @mattpocockuk]

Can I get someone at Anthropic to bump their cached version of mattpocock/skills?

Seems like someone needs to manually update my plugin version. All my users are stuck on v1.2.

Also, maybe we can make this process more automatic while we're at it

I love how quiet it gets around the RVs after everybody cuts the lights off ... need that fr

I be wanting to hike until I remember you gotta pack like you're going missing for 3 days

[Wellness wins @Bro_Code_x]

Hiking is one of the most accessible & rewarding outdoor activities, combining cardiovascular exercise with the mental health benefits of spending time in nature.
​
​Essential Gear: The "Ten Essentials"

​When heading out on any trail beyond a basic city park, packing these core categories ensures safety:

° ​Navigation: Physical map, compass, & GPS unit or offline mapping app.
° ​Hydration: Adequate water supply, at least 0.5 liters per hour of moderate hiking & a filtration method/purification tablets.
° ​Nutrition: Extra food beyond your planned itinerary (energy bars, trail mix, dehydrated meals).
° ​Appropriate Clothing: Moisture-wicking base layers, insulating layers & waterproof outer shells. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture & loses insulation when wet.
° ​Illumination: Headlamp or flashlight with spare batteries.
° ​First Aid Kit: Blister care, bandages, antiseptic wipes, & personal medications.
° ​Fire Starter: Waterproof matches, lighter, or tinder for emergency warm-up.
° ​Repair Tools: Pocket knife or multi-tool, plus duct tape.
° ​Emergency Shelter: Lightweight space blanket or emergency bivouac sack.
° ​Sun Protection: Sunglasses, broad-spectrum sunscreen, & a wide-brimmed hat.

[Interesting Engineering @IntEngineering]

Beijing-based KingKong Robotics has open-sourced the software toolkit for Jumper, the six-legged red crab robot that drew crowds at China's big AI and robot expos this summer. Open the GitHub repo in an AI coding assistant, and a one-line prompt can train new moves in simulation, design new shells or build new scenes.

[Oblock @obitopper]

Honestly reading in a tent while it's raining outside sounds like a perfect setup g

[OffRoadCampingBoys @OffRoadCampBoys]

Do you read when camping?

My son really started getting into reading independently (without being asked) during our Alaska overlanding trip this spring.

It's so fun to see kids get to that point. School this year he even voluntarily reads at the afterschool program and likes to tell me about the books.

Shocker - His favorite chapter books revolve around nature, hunting stories and wilderness survival. Weird.

[Oblock @obitopper]

Lowkey this is dangerous cause now I can start a bunch of coding tasks and forget about em

[Ahmad Awais @MrAhmadAwais]

Command Code Cloud (sandboxes) are here!

$ cmd --cloud
· Run open models in Cloud VMs
· Zero babysitting your agents/prs
· No permissions mode needed
· Get PRs on your GitHub repo

Run Command Code in the cloud instead of on your computer. It is the same interface you use locally, with the agent working against your GitHub repo on its own branch. When there is something to review, it opens a draft pull request. Close your laptop and the task keeps going.

[Oblock @obitopper]

People really will risk it all for free real-time data lmaoo

[Trice @cryptotrice]

Huge leak from 4chan

One of the devs who reverse-engineered TradingView Premium said they’ve mirrored TradingView servers for free API and real-time data

He also said that he was being actively threatened, which is why the repository went private

You can still access the repo through the local open-source version for Windows and Mac

[Oblock @obitopper]

Why these AI finance apps be flagging transfers to savings as spending g ... that's irritating

[Oblock @obitopper]

If onboarding still takes days somebody gotta automate that shit already lol

[Lane || Boot.dev @wagslane]

Remember when it used to take a new dev hire a few days to get all the local tooling and dev environment set up?

So glad that's not a thing anymore.

SwiftUI getting a gravestone before it ever felt production ready is nasty work

[Jacob Bartlett @jacobtechtavern]

Why do people use iOS?

There’s a reason Apple is easy-breezy* when it comes to open-sourcing Swift, xnu, libdispatch, and Foundation. There are myriad security, community goodwill, and cross-platform benefits from keeping these low-level frameworks in the open.

When it comes to SwiftUI, UIKit, Core Animation, and most system libraries, however, Apple is ruthlessly guarded.

The difference is clear: Apple is in the hardware business. Integrated system UX is a core competitive advantage, and so Apple does not want you to enjoy their UI frameworks on other people’s platforms.

The secret sauce of iOS has, from day 1, been its characteristic look and feel, what Apple calls the human interface: Interaction. Responsiveness. Animation.

When you drill down into the limits of these 3 pillars, you will find the gap between UIKit and SwiftUI is starkest.

*I’m sure there are several Apple engineers (that aged 20 years during open-sourcing negotiations with legal) who may disagree with the term “easy-breezy”.
