Wow, this is quite shocking. I used to work in Amsterdam and Miro used to be one of more well-known companies there. A few of my friends worked there at some point. I used it quite heavily at one company. I found it a bit bloated, but it wa

I’m one of those people. I loved Ergodox, switched to Moonlander but didn’t like it, tried out Voyager and stuck with it. Voyager is not even a very ergonomic keyboard, but it’s good enough for me, I configured it so that it’s very convenie

> See above. I assume what you are upset about is that rich fans are the ones going. I'm upset that artists make the tickets affordable for different groups, and their fans want to see the concert. You have 2 sides that are in agree

Fewer people go to concerts, fans can’t afford the tickets, less connection with the artists, less interest in music overall. Artists lose, even if they get paid and all the tickets technically are sold out. Fans lose. The only people who w

I wonder if at some point we'll see a hockey stick adoption of self-driving cars. For now every new city is worth a blog post, eventually they'll allow intercity drives. Will international adoption take off? Will I be able to use

For me it was: - most posts I saw on Facebook were from my friends - Instagram was full of photos from my friends - on Twitter I mostly saw tweets from people I knew in person or open source contributors I followed Then my Facebook feed sta

What's the alternative? Are you suggesting other LLM providers don't charge high price? Or that they don't make mistakes? Or that they provide better quality? We're talking about dynamically developed products, something

Will they? Will someone have enough time, skill and dedication to maintain it? I don’t think using AI will by itself make a big enough difference, it’s still a lot of work to maintain a project

Let’s say I listen to 10h a month of a single artist, nothing else. So 100% of my payment (minus Spotify take) should go to that artist. Let’s say you listen 90h to another artist, and nothing else. In the current model both artists are put

Well, if I listen to a shuffle radio then the artists I listen to will get paid, right? Which I’m fine with, it’s not that I want to support one specific artist (I can buy their album or merch if that’s my goal), I just want the money I pay

I’d love to see a streaming service where my payment goes to artists I listen to. Spotify pays 70% of their music revenue to publishers based on the total number of listens. All revenue is put together and split based on the global numbers.

Nobody writes about their work thinking the whole world will read it. They write it for their friends, maybe a small group of regular readers, also for themselves. I for one really like it, even if I get bored after reading 5 similar articl

I think it means parallel branches. Normally in git you can use one branch at a time. With agentic coding you want agents to build multiple features at the same time, each in a separate branch

Heroku runs on AWS though, doesn’t it? They just package it. I don’t think it’s impossible for them to survive. Salesforce bought them more than 10 years ago and did little to support growth of Heroku. And yet they’re still around and peopl

I actually enjoy having mobile apps for lots of use cases – travel, news, entertainment, utility bills, banking. I have probably around 100 apps on my iPhone right now and I'm fine with this number. There are 2 things though that make

I’ll never understand why they ruined GitHub. They had everything they needed - the one place in the world where 99% of open source projects were hosted, where all the discussions happened. A product that people were so used to that it was

I don't understand how adding an ad to every single skill is a good idea: https://github.com/garrytan/gstack/commit/9d47619e4c72136574... It just unnecessarily clutters the context, in EVERY single skill

It's really not that simple. Numerous times I've seen promotions going to people who were visible but didn't do the actual work. Those who share the achievements on Slack, those who talk a lot, get to meetings with directors,

It’s totally different. People have to obey laws and contracts because there are consequences if they don’t, there are fines, arbitrage, courts. What happens if AI agent you run causes a lot of damage? The best you can do is to turn it off

I imagine most countries will regulate it as gambling. Some already do – Netherlands fined Kalshi or Polymarket (don't remember which one) for operating without a gambling license. I guess US will be one of the last ones to do it (cert

IMO Facebook has a bigger problem - I’m a millennial, far closer to a middle aged man than to a teenager, and I don’t want to be on Facebook because it’s so full of garbage. There’s just nothing interesting except for Market. Surely there’

Do these skills actually provide much value? Like, how much better are they than something that I could tell Claude to generate based on a single API doc from Slack/Trello?

It's all cool as long as you keep all of this up to date, and that requires a lot of scrutiny and discipline. Once I had to go through a security audit at a job I had. Part of it was to show managing secret keys and who had access to t

I used Oh My Zsh for years, but there were literally 3-4 features I relied on: autocompletion, git plugin, history search, and one theme. For some reason it was slow to load which I found annoying, so I used Claude Code to optimize it. In t
