100% in software dev. The more you know, the harder it is to start.

@zeeg Same here, I've moved to just using Sol for only computer use and code reviews (crazy stuff is more welcomed here).

Day 2 of using my own MCP router. It is great knowing the services will always be accessible.

Many months in, and it's still criminal what OpenAI did to their desktop app. The distinction between codex and work is silly. It should just be project or not a project.

You shouldn't even need a folder for a project. If I want to group a set of related chats and call that a project, guess what is its? It's a project

And all my chats from phone and iPad should show up on a desktop app as well.

@jdvmi00 I originally bought the pro, but it just seemed too messy for what I wanted. At this point, my goal is to get my Macbook Air off my desk.

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

I picked up a GL.iNet Comet Q so that I can more easily connect to a Mac from Omarchy. So far it is much better than any of the remote desktop options I tried.

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

@r00k @tuple @derrickreimer Excited to see what you come up with. I tried to pitch my last company to experiment with paired prompting. I thought that would be a good way to help share knowledge, but it didn't go very far.

Follow up on the Laravel Cloud + CloudFlare for SaaS - This works! It even properly handles proxied urls.

Supporting this is not about the cost. 0.25 a domain is reasonable. What I am trying to avoid is customers needing to change existing DNS because we changed hosting providers.

For now, it looks like everything will just work.

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

I love the public experiments that you can easily opt into.

It is probably harder to kill the 12% feature for a paid product, but for something they give away for free, I am sure they can get a lot of insights from it.

[Ben Orenstein @r00k]

Just posted this in our Slack for input. It's about the Labs tab in Hex from Anomaly.

@kitlangton I'd love to hear how you think about this.

But the cure for cancer is right around the corner.

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

If you’re going to build in-house ports of existing applications, take the time to tailor them to your exact needs.

Nobody else wants to run your one-off port.

Think through the tools you use, how you authenticate, and your workflow.

Once the novelty wears off, you’ll get bored. And the cost (and security) benefits go out the window if it doesn’t end up being more useful.

I still cannot believe any company would use Discord to interact with their customers.

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

@GolerGkA For a little help with server work, sure. But for coding on a remote machine, T3, Bb, and a thousand similar tools is better experience.

No compelling reason to be working with agents in the terminal in 2026.

[Wes Bos @wesbos]

the terminal's days are numbered

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

@jasona Can you use Carbon with Pi? If so, it might give you a better user experience.

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

Now bot can access Hammer.

[Grok Bot @bot]

Grok Bot can now join your personal or company tailnets on Tailscale.

Use it to securely reach private MCP servers, internal tools, and apps on your network.

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

I think it is safe to stop saying "alleged Chinese spy".

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

The council might have CloudFlare for SaaS running on Laravel Cloud after support said no dice.

I just need to verify this doesn't break everything else. :P

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

The engineering equivalent of a Hail Mary.

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

Any Laravel Cloud customers using Cloudflare for SaaS?

One of the applications I am migrating uses this and I am trying to figure out a clean on ramp that doesn't involve me proxying requests on another server or in CloudFlare.

[Scott Watermasysk @scottw]

OK, I think I might have something that makes MCP far more tolerable for me (Hammer). It is a local service that runs on my Tailnet does 2 things:

1. Exposes all MCP servers through a single endpoint (think Executor without all the application features/etc)
2. It keeps the oauth tokens up to date (and when not possible, emails me).

Nothing worse that trying to fix a bug and needing to login to both Sentry and PlanetScale

There are a bunch of other helpful items, but at its core, it tries its best to always be available.
