Why LLMs don't cache responses? It would make sense to get consistent answers, and regenerate them only if explicitly triggered.

Just look at Tanstack! 🚀 It looks like some vibe coder was spamming web tools and calculators.

Question is: can we build yet another framework?

When I started my Frontend journey, I thought we don't need another framework, there's React, Angular and dozens of others like Ember, Backbone and various template engines for backend leaning apps.

And still Vue come out, Svelte, React Router, Next, Remix, state and form management libs.

To write a blog post inside VSCode I must silence AI suggestions. So annoying!

Any Blue Sky users here? What are the tools you are missing there?

Are the YouTube ads customers aware that for a single customer, their ad is run again and again, just one minute after another?

I wonder:
1. Does each visualization detract from total paid?
2. Is there any study on its efficiency? Personally, it makes me hate the ad I see.

Really? Do you have meaningful outcomes on Linkedin?

Oh, so you mean it uses StackOverflow for learning? But why the AI companies wouldn't do the same directly with code then?

I write "as is" allowing myself to write bad, but trying to improve each time.

What % of AI is in your writing?

Suddenly, because of AI, an authentic, slang, grammarly incorrect writing is more valuable.

AI is very helpful at iterating or searching for alternative ways of expressing thoughts. But it's less helpful at learning by practice, because to learn you have to DIY.

Is here anyone who is able to read several pages of text without ever losing their focus?

Is anyone actually able to grow on X?

Kudos to Buffer for finally mobilizing the web app! 🎉💪

Is SWE part-time jobs a thing?

If AI throws at you statistically arranged stuff, it becomes not only unreliable but even dangerous for learning wrong data relationships.

Or am I wrong?

Suddenly, I see how AI chats can't replace websites.

Content is data and knowledge. As humans we visualize and organize -- create links, hierarchies, even variants of knowledge for a better mind ingestion and understanding. And the key is that it must be reliable.

Raise your hand if you still read q/a on Stack Overflow.

If there's someone who does better than you using AI, guess what, you can learn this too. Just like you did when learning new lib or framework.

Thoughts?

I guess anything you want, the key is to stick with it. The reasoning is, although AI is fast, humans are slow. And humans need experts to make decision, even if using AI. You are still competing with slow humans beings, not AIs.

There's a lot of frustration with AI tools and an exponential feel of FOMO. But in the dev space it always was that way. New frameworks, new libs, new markets.

The main pain point:

1. What do I do today, to stay relevant tomorrow?

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, ChatGPT?

I don't think it's funny.

For context, it's a chat where I'm researching the distribution for a single UI component.

If I had to learn to code today I would follow this plan:

1. Very small projects, even a feature.
2. Start with a mock UI and a diagram.
3. Split into subtasks.
4. Code ONLY what's planned.
5. Release and forget.
6. Mix with learning ONE algorithm.
7. Repeat.

What would you do?

I know GPT and others are very advanced search engines. But when this all chat thing came to live, it still was a lil bit simplistic.

Now, I can ask serious questions and find serious answers. And although I got used to it, it's unbelievable.

Isn't it?

I feel that for me, the best way to read non fiction, is when I'm traveling.

Somehow, it's easier to focus on the go, than when staying still.

How do you read "hard" books?

Wdym by less noise? I'd say quite the opposite, my bsky feed is very random.

Also, it's one thing consuming and another writing. If you write on socials, it makes sense they help you to reach people interested in the topic, right?

98% of Developers can’t program a computer I’ve been thinking about this post for a long time, but using it to kick off 2026 just seems super appropriate. I have an unusually high percentage of readers who do know how to program a com…

It's a forever trend.

As a software engineer what parts of your workflow do you hate the most?

Tracking helps with visualizing progress and staying on track. It's still not perfect, especially for more complex projects. But that's the point, I'm experimenting.

I wonder how to leverage dead lines in a healthy way?

/end

Last few months I'm experimenting with a new way to be productive in my goals, simply:

1. Just do it.
2. Tracking.

No amounts, no time, no pressure. It's much easier to commit, when it doesn't feel overwhelming before I start.
