📱Your team tired of waiting for the App Store to ship updates? @skylight.social pushes daily @reactnative.dev.web.brid.gy updates with Expo + EAS Update. @brandonmathis.bsky.social from This Dot Labs explains.

Started adding MCP‘s to my AI coding agents to get up to date documentation for all my 3rd party libraries #code #ai #mcp #programming

I pitted Claude 4 and 3.7 against each other to create an implementation of Langton’s Ant. The results were interesting #AI #coding

Comments in JSON when?? #coding #json #webdev

Small, but mighty UI change for @skylight.social! Always celebrating the small wins with the big 🙌🏽 Okay, back to building 🫡 #skylightsocial #skylight

Skylight Social's CTO @reedharmeyer.bsky.social jumped on a podcast with me to breakdown some of the tech behind @skylight.social. Listen along! #code #atproto #buildinpublic www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i3J...

A #buildinpublic video about @skylight.social Stop waiting for App Store review to send out changes to your react-native apps. Use Expo updates to get changes out to users in real-time! #reactnative #expo #mobile

Honestly…. I’m shocked to hear that Harvard received federal funding.

Whether speaking to students in @drkalyncoghill.bsky.social’s class on Hashtag Activism or folks at @aadhum-umd.bsky.social yesterday, it’s always great to see the reactions when I mention that folks are building TikTok alternatives on atproto like @skylight.social 🖤

Thanks to @niko.antuerp.com for chatting with me! @skylight.social is still young; there's a lot we need to build to make it a place where creators can truly find and grow their audience 🙌🏽 But I'm incredibly thankful to have the chance to build it, and to have so many of you along for the ride 🥰

Twitter’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research. Data indicates more scholars turning to alternative social media site to post about their work after Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover www.timeshighereducation.com/news/xs-domi...

Honestly, it's pretty genius how Stripe has created markdown versions of their docs and an "Open in ChatGPT" link to make working with AI easier You can give your coding agent a "Read docs.stripe.com/connect/auth... prompt and it will can slurp up the Stripe docs and use that as context for tasks

It really is uncanny how often I run into engineers that are also musicians. There for sure is some kind of parallel between code and math www.thisdot.co/blog/music-a...

Not surprised to read this at all. Academia needs to adapt properly to AI www.vice.com/en/article/t...

Made myself a custom Linkedin frame with this tool. What do you think? inframe.stephcraft.net

A little update video about what we’re working on currently! Thank you to everyone supporting @skylight.social and giving us great feedback! It’s been insanely helpful as we build 🙌🏽 #skylightsocial #skylight

#DOTA ESL One in Raleigh NC Esports in my hometown is HYPE

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

You need to watch this video of my friend @gantlaborde.com talking about hacking AI before you deploy AI agents into your business. #hacking #ai youtu.be/GEtt9sZqJz8?...
