@GillCancer @scottlincicome @koryzuck I thought he was saying consumers will end up paying 70% of the tariffs on average, not that things would go up 70%. This can get very confusing on its actual price impact with businesses having margin etc.

True to form, I did not write the above tweet but instead left the contents up to Claude. Very interesting experience to be able to build a utility I wanted to exist without writing a single line of code. However, this may be the first project I finish without learning a skill.

🎉 Just launched Wynk - my first web app created through vibe coding on @cursor_ai! It's a visual scheduling tool for teams and families where you can paint activities onto time slots. Check it out at https://t.co/pNsTdp28ze #ReactJS #WebDev #VibeCoding

@gas_biz One thing that has surprised me having a Prius prime, is a lot of places I’ve driven through gas ends up being cheaper than electricity. Especially true when I’ve driven through California, which I imagine has to have the highest density of EV vehicles of any US state.

@mlanetrain I would agree if we had a localized only housing crisis, but currently houses across the us have recently had major increases in just a few years. This really is a national problem as well as a more nuanced local problem at this point.

@amasad It took us awhile to figure out how to make coffee

[Timothy Crosley @timothycrosley]

@pushtheneedle I would probably like living in the one on the right more, but not from this pic! From this perspective it looks monotonous and gray, while the one on the left has great contrast, lots of trees, and just looks lush and green! I think the opposite would be true from street level.

@charliermarsh If you decide to make a YouTube video about your stance, may I suggest this nicely subdued thumbnail:

@Jonathan_Conley Just think how little each merchant in pike place market might pay, but how much taxes the existence of such a vibrant space has given the city. You may or may not be right in your overall concerns but the movement of one chain shop means nothing.

[Timothy Crosley @timothycrosley]

@Jonathan_Conley Things aren’t that simple. Stores can get subdivided. People can be willing to pay more property rent on housing units because they prefer living somewhere vibrant where the store fronts aren’t just repeats of what is everywhere else, a physical manifestation of an online shop.

@Jonathan_Conley Not understanding that different places tend to attract different tenants for their retail real estate, and then doubling down when called out, is the real “big oof”

[Timothy Crosley @timothycrosley]

@Jonathan_Conley Look, Seattle has a history of loosing chains both during times of prosperity and during downturns. If nothing replaces it, that’s certainly a bad sign, but I’m itself a chain leaving a place known to be hostile to chains is a big yawn.

@WhyNotHugo @charliermarsh Eventually, once ruff passes a stable release threshold, there is a high chance I’ll make this an official recommendation and even point users to it from isort documentation. Nothing is guaranteed until it reaches that point however.

[Timothy Crosley @timothycrosley]

Just switched my first project to @charliermarsh's Ruff. Only one down side so far: it's so fast I couldn't believe it was working till I intentionally introduced some errors.

[Timothy Crosley @timothycrosley]

@WhyNotHugo @charliermarsh isort is not going away any time soon and will be supported for many years. That said, if anyone wants the fastest solution and is okay with both the good and bad of using a tool that’s still under high development and flux - id recommend they use Ruff. It’s just way faster.

[Timothy Crosley @timothycrosley]

@Jonathan_Conley I don’t have any viewpoints on your over all concerns, but I don’t see movements of chain stores mattering much in either direction.

[Timothy Crosley @timothycrosley]

@brucef @pushtheneedle @SoundTransit I just think most people don't time it! I took it everyday for work for quite a while, I just have the habit of timing things, was surprised at how slow it was compared to promised. Then saw they revised up by > 20% (for my destination of Westlake station).

[Timothy Crosley @timothycrosley]

@witch_volcano @pushtheneedle @SoundTransit That was the original estimate, but once they completed it they revised the time to 13 minutes between those 2 stations. Of course, that doesn’t even include the time to reach the platform which is generally not at ground level. Still better than a car - just not faster.

@QuinnyPig I've never seen people take less time off then when working at a place with unlimited PTO. The only way I could see it working without burn out is if paired with mandatory minimal PTO per year/quarter or similar.
