Forget vibe coding, call it hallucination-driven development.

The @nytimes.com just discovered parallel computing.

Reddit has been adding way too many recommendations to the home feed imo. Constantly felt I was missing content from my joined subs due to being nudged into joining even more, which is a bit ironic. So I dove into the settings and found this little guy. Makes a massive difference in user experience.

Only recently I learned about webhook.site (call me late) and now this nice alternative crosses my path.

Today we're thrilled to announce our effort to port the TypeScript compiler and language service to native code, gaining a 10x speed boost in build times and editor responsiveness! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/t...

MCP's are cool and all. But what this video really demonstrates is how AI tools are leading people to abandon a basic understanding of core SWE practices. The guy is literally using Cursor's yolo mode for prompting "run this terminal command". Has me dying inside. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQsP...

If Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music were released today, people would think it is AI-generated

JavaScript is winning as the most popular programming language YET AGAIN cuz no other languages have as much publicly available code that AI can use for training. the new generation of vibe coders will use JS. AI sucks at Swift, sucks at Rust, sucks at C# etc. but can one-shot entire JS apps.

Rubber duck debugging in practice means reducing a random coworker to a quacking toy and go over your thoughts with them.

The speed at which CSS is modernising and the big adoption rate of these cool features thanks to continuous browser updates is simply awesome.

Been trying out #Cursor editor the last couple of weeks. I happened to be working on a lot of (partly legacy) Python code during that time, and didn't really get a lot out of it. But the last days I switched to React, and boy, it definitely is better trained for that.

macOS spaces definitely could use some love.

Claude Sonnet 3.7 being released and all I really care about is if we can standardise the accompanying benchmark for comparing AI models from now on.

Dat @vrtnws.be op X post om burgers te bereiken: fair. Wat stoort is hoe #VRT bezoekers erheen leidt door embeds. Kan best ifv bronvermelding, maar #sporza doet het consistent om beelden te tonen waarop men rechten niet bezit. Weiger cookie en die site wordt onbruikbaar. www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...

Great to see Bluesky steadily growing out of mainly being anti-X content, like right after Musks salute at the inauguration (although still a very relevant topic to address). This place becoming a source of truly interesting content on its own will be the best way to achieve broad adoption over time

Honestly, I still don't get the value of Tailwind. Over a decade ago, we all agreed that writing styling specs in the HTML (the style attr) was a bad idea, that we should have separate stylesheets. But here we are, learning a new syntax and drilling utility classnames.

When imperfect systems are good, actually. Think of accounts that follow an unreasonable amount of others (hoping you'd follow them back). Designing for perfection towards them would impact all accounts in the same shard. Cool insight into Bluesky's timeline hydration. jazco.dev/2025/02/19/i...

Tesla’s tight link with Musk is a continuation of its perception as a tech company rather than a car maker, as has been reflected by its stock valuation. Look at high-profile tech CEOs like Zuckerberg, Jobs, Bezos, and Gates and try to name similarly recognised executives at any other car brand.

From OpenAI's SWE-Lancer paper: AI models benchmarked by how much of $1M in real-world SWE freelancing tasks they could earn. Although SWE freelancers still prove to bring value today, putting out a benchmark like this feels like setting a goal to hit sooner than later. openai.com/index/swe-la...

Late to the party with trying out @figma.com after over a decade of happily using Sketch. Really good experience, seemingly tailored to people switching over like me.

Why are the options for Apple Watch compatible e-sim’s still so limited in the landscape of Belgian providers? Is it due to lack of demand? Feels like not too hard of a feature to provide.

iPhone mirroring still being disabled for EU remains a perfect example of how customers are being used as leverage against regulations. Apple could perfectly make this DMA compliant, but rather manipulates customer experience for their corporate agenda.

#AWS tip: client had a wildcard DNS A-record pointing to the S3 website endpoint (*.yourdomain.com aliasing to s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com), causing a major security threat. Anyone could set up a bucket within that region named as a subdomain of yours and host stuff as if you authored it.
