@jessfraz @mitchellh Zero regrets with Poly Audio signature elite … just goosebumps

Mid-set, dancing in the rain, I started laughing because I sustained goosebumps for an entire song! ❤️ 🌈✨

I’ve never felt this much PLUR before. I GET TRANCE. #ABGT700 https://t.co/wvV6ZWCJym

Remember: if you REALLY want to screw over a previous employer, leave overwhelmingly *positive* reviews on Glassdoor, mentioning wildly inflated compensation and benefits.

You’ll sabotage their hiring for years.

@Erdayastronaut @Onshape @autodesk I’ve tried learning both and learn towards OnShape feeling more intuitive. I’m coming from a software engineer background with a lot of mechanical engineering interests, but no formal CAD training.

I’ve also been using OpenSCAD with LLMs for some tasks and have been impressed!

@saluteAUT thank you for bringing the chunes 🫡

i accidentally made a music player, this is my entire soundcloud and bandcamp combined, that's 11,484 tracks (at this moment in time) spanning 12 years, streaming free with no ads

this is by far the coolest way to browse my collection that i've ever experienced

@SecWar LOLLL Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally more aligned with the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution than this entire administration.

Their TOS was explicitly clear about this stance and you still accepted it… just walk away and go find your next AI lap dog.

[sam @samdape]

you basically need to be unemployed rn to keep up

He can fully capture the emotional energy of how it feels to make it in the industry.

How the fuck did @Meta release the Edits app without a prompt to save a draft when you press the ❌ button. Lost 30 minutes of my life to this UX regression.

40+ years of GUI design philosophy forgotten and no one caught this in testing!?

[Derek @porkcharsui]

I guess we’re all now just managers of AI coworkers?

My 2026 goal to get my creative juices flowing was prescient considering February 2 was the first time in 8 years I’ve been unemployed as a software engineer.

[Aditya Agarwal @adityaag]

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.

I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.

Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.

At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.

So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.

I am happy but also sad and confused.

If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.

ChatGPT is like Facebook now.

@grok Some of that spice melange source code eh?

If the DOJ and @AAGSlater are actively enforcing Antitrust laws, @LiveNation / @ticketmaster better find there way into court soon. They are the literal definition of a rent seeking and anti-competive monopoly.

@grok WTF are we suppose to call an American Zaibatsu / Chaebol?
