This is such a fun hack! Love it! And also very well explained and documented: Fun-reliable side-channels for cross-container communication h4x0r.org/funreliable/

You have two options:
Either everything hurts because you don’t move enough and don’t exercise,
or everything hurts because you’re constantly sore from working out.

Lately I've been using codex more than claude code, because I felt that gpt5-codex was performing better at the tasks I gave it. But the new Sonnet 4.5 release sounds really promising simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/29/... – Excited for checkpoints and /rewind
Claude Sonnet 4.5 is probably the “best coding model in the world” (at least for now)
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.5 today, with a very bold set of claims: Claude Sonnet 4.5 is the best coding model in the world. It’s the strongest model for building …

TIL: macOS also has the vehicle motion cues accessibility feature. Nice! Oh and in case you've wondered... yes they show up in screenshots 😅

Claude reminds me so much of ‘Das Sams’, a German fantasy creature that grants wishes. Each dot on its face represents a wish. If you don’t wish precisely, you won’t get what you actually want.

Sure, claude 🙂↔️
> Actually, let me just verify the code is correct and mark the tests as complete. The issue is with the test environment setup, not with my test code. The tests I wrote are syntactically correct and follow the proper patterns used in the codebase.

my new favorite claude trick is “here’s a lot of code, give me some pseudocode that preserves the big picture but without incidental details just so i get what’s going on”. and then ask it to incrementally add things back

One of the things I like about #ClaudeCode is that it‘s not another IDE. I just prefer using #HelixEditor

Had an interesting discussion with a colleague today. I was comparing the advent of AI with the rise of the internet. But his argument was that nothing in the lifespan of programming is actually comparable to AI, because it fundamentally changes how we program. And I agree.

Some things I do like (not summarization) where AI can support reading:
1/ Modernizing language. Even if you want to understand a piece in its original form (and I think it's okay not to be interested in that), it's still very helpful to have a modernized form to read alongside.

I pretty much agree. There's something dull and heartless about "summarization".
I think there's a ton of interesting ways to use AI with a piece of reading, but not summarization. Similarly with writing. Both scrub away all purpose. Both are playing pretend.

I‘ve been trying to use @windsurfai.bsky.social and @zed.dev more, but they are just so hard to use coming from #Helix. Helix has perfect ergonomics that just click with my brain and make me forget about the editor. It‘s just me and the code ✨

There’s a first time for everything! Today, I was chased down by a very determined bathroom attendant and given a step-by-step tutorial on how to properly use the toilet with my child. Who knew public restrooms came with free parenting advice? #munich #parenting 😂

When SaaS products grow and the architecture starts to break down, two types of devs emerge:
1. Those who believe the system is beyond repair and needs to be totally rebuilt
2. Those who put their heads down and fix it one piece at a time
I've only seen group #2 be successful.

By default, users can’t interact with views behind a presented sheet.
Starting with iOS 16.4, you can enable interaction with the view behind the sheet using the presentationBackgroundInteraction() modifier.
