Slop, art or fever dream? What happens when AI rewrites the lyrics to the unequaled Bohemian Rhapsody? https://t.co/YUwuJLQF8y

Don't walk. Run! Download https://t.co/J5CgOhQKxv and play the demo. It will take 5-10min. It will SCHOOL all builders on how to onboard users the right way. Chef's kiss! So much fun I might have to play again.

Note: this is not an ad. Seriously. Just a happy user.

Oh and whatever @AmpCode has cooking. Can not wait @thorstenball !

[Richard D. Worth @rworth]

Most excited about right now @t3code by @theo and https://t.co/J5CgOhQKxv by @aarondfrancis . Keep up the good work gents and ... what should I add to this list?

@DThompsonDev @Austen ?

Hard to believe it's been 20 years... incredible! And so much has changed since then. JavaScript has moved from a fun lang dabbling in apps (Ajax) to something that has changed all of software engineering (Node, TypeScript). An amazing adventure 🚀

On January 14, 2006, 20 years ago today, @jeresig introduced a new JavaScript library that came to be known as jQuery.

Anyone remember jQuery UI ThemeRoller back in the day? https://t.co/hCtKlzAedh is taking me back. Couldn't be more excited @shadcn great work!

I joined the @ampcode team this year because the first time I used it, it just *worked*.

All the complexity of the IDE and model selection faded away and I was able to ship a bunch of features.

Now, turn the page to December 2025 and the team has innovated so much with Threads, we're at another step change moment.

I can get significant amounts of work done now because of the features the team has shipped around Threads.

If you are using Claude Code or any other agent, I'd highly encourage you to join Build Crew, get $100 of Amp credit, and see for yourself.

I think you will be truly delighted.

Gemini 3 in @AmpCode just blew me away so nicely on a one shot bug fix that eluded Sonnet AND the Oracle with multiple attempts. Bravo Google and @Sourcegraph !

It's Friday, so I want to share one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on.

A few years ago, I built four eight-foot-long handwriting robots.

We wrote many thousands and thousands of addresses on our direct mail, and wrote personal messages for high value prospects.

Vibe coding is irresponsibly building software through dice rolls, not caring what code is produced

What about when engineers at the top of their game use AI tools responsibly to accelerate their work?

I propose "vibe engineering"!

"Don't use AI tools, don't use frameworks, don't use compilers, don't use templates.

Don't use all these things to avoid learning. Use them to avoid doing things you've already learned that you know are full of foot guns and problems and annoyances that you don't feel like dealing with.

Don't let the tools reach further than your own knowledge."
