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

Something is happening on @bsky.app. For the first time *ever*, we're seeing durable, modest, realistic growth, and it couldn't be happening at a better time. Are we about to hit escape velocity?

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

I would definitely use this. Been thinking out it for sure

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

Dan has been saying the same essentially
the hack to being productive with claude code is to start the project with great e2e tests that are declarative enough that they let you precisely specify behavior without saying too much

I mean being able to run a set of I commands that tells me if my code works as expected
- tests
- lints
- type checks
Like we need some determinism to be confident the thing we’re building still works

That’s not to say the ai might not include that automatically. I could imagine Claude’s system prompts getting tweaked to include stuff like that

Would have been such a bigger task to learn both asts and translate it
After that I was a little more of a convert. Before that I hadn’t been able to get anything but tab autocomplete to work well for me
Great tests and solid static analysis seems like a big must

I recently wrote an jscodeshift with ai just by defining (+ promoting) tests. Took me about 2 hours to get something pretty full featured
realized I wanted it as an eslint plugin instead and just let the ai port the test suite and fix things. Left it for maybe 30-60 minutes and it just worked

I do think the “pace layers” concept form the series has some merit
Some code can be slower, some faster. Optimizing both for easy regen seems wise. Most of the ways you do that are just by having good maintainable code anyway 🙃 (tests, small files, well defined boundaries, contracts)
