A colleague of mine just prompted Deepseek and asked it to rewrite it so Claude can better understand it. Can't decide if it's incompetence or a little bit of genius! It has gone too far. #promptengineering #AIFail

This Claude Code #opensource alternative openhands CLI is a gem, using it with groq's API key. Surprisingly good. @openalternative.co, best open-source option for everyday SaaS products.

(no I'm not getting paid to promote this product)

Asked #qwen code a question out of context. It seemed really offended lol!

Sick of over-the-top every IDEs and their #ai #agents. This brings back clarity #neovim #vim. Shout out to all contributing to open-source projects, making this possible.

The Developer Manifesto

It’s a reminder, to myself, and to anyone who’s ever felt uncertain, navigating layoffs, doubt, fear. To those who build, even when it feels like the world is crumbling.

Don’t lose your mind. Don’t lose your good heart.

any recent intermediate #python books got released? Python Cookbook came about 12 years ago -- correct me if I'm wrong!

Google CLI ain't a bad purchase. 7 months in, I'm dumping my #AnthropicAI sub. Opus is a gem, but $100? Sonnet 3.7, 3.5 went PRO? Ubuntu users left in the dust? And my project data? Poof! Gone.

Ever listen to your #spotify liked songs and realize old tracks bring back memories of past mistakes? A decade's worth of songs feels like baggage you can't erase, so you just stop listening.

Seven years ago, I was reverse-engineering YouTube’s barely-documented API, piecing things together from scattered forum posts and outdated docs. Today, I can ask an LLM to explain endpoints and generate working code in seconds. The evolution is surreal.

@bsky.app feels like a breath of fresh air - calm, unlike chaotic Twitter. Loving the old-school Twitter vibes here!
