Extra points: it’s working, because Claude simply removed all the functionality. (“Todo: in a working implementation, this would…”)

hah, first article I've read all of in a while. Lean seems weirdly fun? Almost like a game. Very cool 🙂

This is incredible. More software should look like this 🔥❤️

A screenshot of Anthropic's Claude Code. 

The text says "Let me check the exact format and fix the accessibility issues:", and then goes on to simply slap ignore tags on all the problems instead of actually trying to fix them.

At least you have web inspector lol

When @daniloleal.co and I were trying to debug weird layout bugs for Zed we pretty much had to fall back to high contrast colors and print statements 😅

Yeahhhhh. Initial marks in Typography 1 made me instantly realize that NB was never meant to be.

Some people really are eating good 😭

One of the weirdest things about not being at zed is not seeing "Restart to update Zed" 7 times a day.

Something feels off 😅

Ayy, excited to see @zed.dev starting to creep in to these lists 🙂

Immediate Mode GUI Resources | Nate Butler A reading list on Immediate Mode GUIs, in Rust and otherwise.

Nice!! Would love to talk and hear about your journey so far.

It probably isn't 100% aligned with what you are doing, but I'm starting to hoard some useful links & create a reading list here!

Sudowrite is hiring a Product Design Lead to reinvent writing We're a small, very nice group of writers and technologists using AI to help authors tell stories. If you love writing and design, and you want to make creative tools, not B2B SaaS, this is your place...

This is, by far, the best Product Design job offer I’ve seen in a very long time: sudowrite.com/jobs/designer

For the last 10 years I’ve been wanting a chance to design the future—not tomorrow, or the next thing, but 3 things after that. The 5 year horizon.

To explore design fiction, maybe even a bit of science fiction?

Tomorrow, I get to give it a shot with my first day @githubnext.com !

I struggled to sleep for years due to an overactive mind - I started listening to audiobooks at night and after a bit my insomnia was pretty much gone.

Just having something for my brain to latch on to so it isn’t going off in random directions usually helps me fall asleep.

But why does vscode underline so much code?! like... just underline diagnostics?? and not other stuff?

One of my @zed.dev regrets was ever being convinced to move away from monospace UI fonts. Feeling zen again 😌

(I won't stop using Zed, just having fun exploring some other tools again!)

hah, @maxdeviant.com carried a lot of the early pain to really get things off the ground.

I just spammed the crate full of half-baked components :D

I did take it a bit further doing some more heavily custom stuff, but once I started manually changing the sizes of things I started getting these weird gaps 😅

It's been forever since I really used VSCode so I thought I'd try getting it set up all comfy like for me. Pretty happy with where I got this for now.

Yeah I think the wild part is we were designing the new ui apis while we were building things, so things took a while. That part wasn’t ideal

Honestly if something like this would run on today’s phone networks I’d buy it in an instant
