I still cannot believe how bloated modern web development has become You open a random website and see megabytes of javascript garbage loading in the background just to render a basic static button I think we're completely overcomplicating everything and pretending it is progress

I just can’t imagine wanting an entire secure ballroom for one man and not wanting gun reform for every child in America.

We have to admit that frontend developers have spent last ten years making the web slower, more complicated, and entirely dependent on javascript frameworks that break every month

We spent years and billions of dollars inserting a C compiler into a lossy hash table. Here’s how we spent two weeks getting it back out with a Markov process.

New Engineering blog: We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C compiler. Then we (mostly) walked away. Two weeks later, it worked on the Linux kernel. Here's what it taught us about the future of autonomous software development. Read more: anthropic.com/engineering/bu…

Replying to @Enterprise
@Enterprise I reserved an Audi A5 and you’re trying to give me a Toyota RAV4. I can’t explain how mad and disappointed I am. That’s so many steps down. Why even bother to make a reservation?!

@Enterprise your website let us book this car, but the people here say they don’t get that class of vehicle at this location. Why does your website even let us do this!?

A memecoin is a zero-sum* lottery. There is no wealth creation. Every buy order is simply matched by a sell order. And after an initial spike, the price eventually crashes and the last buyers lose everything. * It’s actually negative sum if the platform takes a cut.

tired: fix the memory leak wired: figure out how to run a cronjob with kubernetes to restart the service once a day inspired: write a function that panics and kills the service at a certain time every day which will cause kubernetes to restart the pod

Just found a marketing email unsubscribe page that detected my ad-blocker and made me disable it to complete the process. If you built that website you should feel bad.

Hey @DoorDash @DoorDash_Help I have all the notifications except “order updates” disabled and yet I keep getting push notification ads for stuff I don’t want. Your app is broken, what are the chances you can you fix it before I delete it?
