I don't write ideas down as notes anymore... I just build them instead.

@mrmagan_ @ryancarson @galin_denev @useblacksmith @theo Ya, we saved money overall, while speeding everything up. (from ~12min -> ~2min)

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

@elithrar Gotcha, thanks - it may not be far off to have compatibility at least since ducklake supports iceberg https://t.co/yHcJXmblwm

Really interesting to see the evolution of this new type of warehouse either way!

How is there not an official /meet slack command in 2026?

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

@hxyden This is sick. So many of our team has mapped flows manually with screenshots and dropped them into Notion or figma. Mapping other apps is as useful as doing for our own app to learn and improve onboarding.

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

@steipete @useblacksmith What's really crazy is that GH actions would be 2x this price (and run slower as well...)

Blacksmith is so good.

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

Claude all of sudden _really_ wants to schedule a follow-up in 1-3 weeks with /schedule...

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

@mattpocockuk I’ve fixed 5 or 6 flaky tests as a result of running auto research on our test suite. They’ve been this way for years in some cases 😳

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

@BrendanFalk Thank you! I could not for the life of me find this page via Google's own internal search bar...

Thankfully, not impacted. But great to see this and know how to review now.

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

@theo @pmarca I actually use the CI tool because of @theo though. And it's actually made our CI quite faster/better!

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

This has to be the most annoying recent Claude-ism:

"Those type errors are pre-existing (not from my changes)."

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

How has @SlackHQ not done this yet?

[Discord @discord]

Use @time on desktop → everyone sees the timestamp in their own timezone

No more "wait, 8 o'clock YOUR time or MINE?"

Anyone else's Claude review bot start deciding to also make commits to fix PR feedback in the past couple days?

It hasn't done this before and we didn't change the setup, but maybe the action base updated or this is just Opus 4.6 getting more confident. 🤔

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

You can check out the app here on the App Store: https://t.co/mznS2zY3E7

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

I'm absolutely delighted to have published my first app to the App Store, designed for my kids.

I remember buying one of those white macbooks in college with hopes of building an app, but never getting over the hump of learning Objective-C.

Now I don't have to and it was incredibly fun to build and focus only on the experience I wanted to make.

[Scott Smerchek @smerchek]

Fantastic listen. Glad to be able to listen in to @r00k and @adamwathan chatting again.

There was much head-nodding and laughs along with them. This new world of agents is such a treat to be a part of.

[Ben Orenstein @r00k]

Love to be back on the mic with @adamwathan.

This is your periodic reminder that you should be using @tobi's `try` cli tool for all your one-off ideas, projects, and explorations.
