Been working on the algorithm for the web dev feed a bit. Think it’s finally becoming really good!

I find a few cool new things and devs on it most days
holy shit

In my recipe app I now generate embeddings for all recipes and ingredients so I can do stuff like recommend similar recipes with a vector search

Would have never been able to do this without ai (or at least it would have taken me a few days/weeks

Got this done in around 30m

Would be funny if they started downranking posts that mention tools other than grok
Anthropic recently cut off xAI from Claude Code, and Nikita made a joke about block Anthropic from X. i'm assuming he meant the posters. but what if Claude was restricted from being used on X? maybe this doesn't matter once computer use agents start to work.
i really think it’s quickly getting to the point where you HAVE to be on bluesky to keep up with the AI cutting edge

which is super fucking funny to me given how much anti-AI sentiment there is here

Maybe the real value in software is now maintenance?
As a software developer who spends his days building a link-saving app and his nights telling everyone that in the very near future people will be able to easily build their own software to solve their personal problems — this is my existential crisis coming to life.

I hate this sentiment. Build your dreams, even if they're only for you

Say what you will about the slopware debate but this shit feels like I’m actually back on tech Twitter

So fun

Gonna make a list of software projects that use tabs instead of spaces, gotta keep it pure
January 9, 2026 at 1:44 AM
Thread is a wild ride. Anti-AI rhetoric continues to get louder.

Here is the list so you don't have to search. It would be far easier to do the inverse of this list.

gotta hire some more people for that to be a thing
Should Bluesky-the-product Sherlock @graze.social, or include Graze as a first class UI plugin into their app?

I wonder if this means they would be forced to sell all the home corporations own

That def sounds like a housing market crash 🫠

Like I agree with this sentiment, but it's gonna be painful for sure

I know we hate AI but its pretty cool that I could generate this for a random image-less recipe (and also add the functionality to my app in like 1-2 prompts)

It's pretty funny that the Hollywood representation of coding (lines of code flying past on a screen) has retroactively become a real thing

I absolutely loved ❤️ chatting with the @devtools.fm folks about how we've modernized @storybook.js.org, what's next for us and how we're tackling AI with MCP.

YAY! 🎉

Happy New Year!

An all new StyleX website has just gone live.

It's rewritten from the ground up, and is built on:
- Waku
- Fumadocs
- StyleX (obviously)

No UI is used from fumadocs, and all the components were re-written with StyleX.
