The most important coding skill: read.

Teach yourself how to read.

Read the agent output. Read the blog post. Read the paper. Read the code (if it applies to you).

Don't summarize.

It's incredible how far you can go if you just don't stop.

@cloclodma @devops_nk ChatGPT until 4pm for me 😅

@obsdmd 3 engineers and so much value generated, gigantic ecosystem. Respect.

@adshotco @ThePrimeagen My exact thought

@AlexFinn I’m actually really excited about #5. I can’t wait to run my own models locally.

My only concern is accessibility. Not everyone can afford setups like a DGX Spark or Mac Studio yet.

Feels like we’re in this in-between phase where freedom exists… but not equally for everyone.

@builtbyEddy @Demiurge1066 @LottoLabs Not built yet, but I'm really eager to try the audio to text capabilities. Realizing I can quickly save my audio notes at zero cost is exciting

@georgeorch @demishassabis I was just reading about Gemma 4 capabilities last night and I'm kinda mind blown. I quickly tested Gemma 4 on my MacBook pro (18gb) and it's feels quite fast without straining my laptop. I was also able to create transcriptions It's exciting to see these capabilities locally.

More and more people are using Obsidian as a local wiki to read things your agents are researching and writing.

It works best with a separate Obsidian vault that you can fill it with content, e.g. via Obsidian Web Clipper.

[Tiago Valverde @tiago_valverde]

@SebastianRoehl 100% relate to this. I now spend so much time on the endless things I can build now.

‼️Do not npm install or deploy anything right now

Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep.

Pin versions or wait until this is resolved

Claude Code leaked their source map, effectively giving you a look into the codebase.

I immediately went for the one thing that mattered: spinner verbs

There are 187

Angular just dropped “Skills” 🚀❤️

Not a library. Not a framework update.

It’s AI guidance for writing modern @Angular:

- standalone components
- signals
- new control flow (@if/@for)
- best practices

Say goodbye to outdated NgModules & *ngIf. #angular

@sahill_og That's what I enjoy about this phase. I don't have to do the tedious parts anymore and explore all the ideas I have on the spot

Had a company meeting this morning.

Glad to see everyone showed up.

Canadians are asking vibe coders to rebuild the federal government Phoenix pay system for less than $4.2 billion.

But it’s not the time writing code. It’s the time spending spent in meetings with hundreds of midlevel managers with input across 32 government departments integrating bureaucratic slop through eight different gender, gender+, Charter, accessibility lenses.

Integrating countless midwit feature requests, accommodating hundreds of edge cases that came from decades of collective bargaining and adjudicated accommodations.

You’re not building a $4.2 B product, you’re engaged in a never-ending meeting of scope-creep and mandate-creep hell.

So you staff up. You attend those meetings, charging the stupid government $300/hr per consultant to make it more perfectly everything to everyone until it’s all canceled by the next government.

I blame Canada’s public service for ArriveCan, not the consultants who were asked to work this way.
