Which LLM did you use? I’ve setup Opus 4.5 on the Pro plan but oh man did I reach my daily limit in a few keystrokes.

It’s basically automating your AI to do things for you based on a cron, and consuming tokens at the speed of light in the process.
It’s awesome and somehow not necessary.

Turns out, you can do wonderful things with pure Blade + Alpine Ajax. No need for JS frameworks at all.

Last week I had to send back the Unifi Express 7. I have both the UE7 and the Dream Router 7 (this one is connected to 1Gbps internet), and Internet works much better at home now that the UE7 is not there anymore.
Hope the replacement unit will make it better.

Since I plan to move to Linux full time in 2026 (desktop is already on it, laptop is not), I will not use external tools to automate stuff. I've just setup auto upload of screenshots to GDrive with bash scripts. It works really well.

"VC qanon" and the radicalization of the tech tycoons - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Great analysis of how and why tech billionaires (or even millionaires - check in the Ruby world) tend to be more extreme and radical over time.

Apparently, the path in the software industry is that once you become rich, you inevitably adopt far-right ideologies disguised as 'progress for humanity'.

What's wrong with it? What do you need such a tool for?

After using Kagi for a while, I decided it was not for me. Its promise to make search better conflicts entirely with the fact that Kagi uses Google behind the scenes.
I've been using Duckduckgo instead exclusively for the last 9 months and it's been amazing. Not using something else. Just works.

For sure. But do you really want to be locked in in Apple ecosystem ?

iOS 26 will be the last iOS I'll use. I'll wait for my iPhone to die, then never buy from this company again. Same for the laptop. Their software truly are becoming atrocious.

So confused by this. What's the point of posting this apart from publicly accepting the current situation?

Also, Twitter really is a piece of shit place where everything that was once shameful now is the standard. This is sad.

Well. It's still 100x less toxic than Twitter, but still lacks the people I look up to the most, unfortunately.

Pagefind | Pagefind β€” Static low-bandwidth search at scale Pagefind is a fully static search library that aims to perform well on large sites, while using as little of your users’ bandwidth as possible, and without hosting any infrastructure.

Great library to implement search locally on any content website.

It basically indexes your (mostly static) site on build time and gives you a bundle that you include on deploy.

There has to be a use-case in one of my projects so I can try it.

I’ve been a Pro Raycast subscriber for a year, but I haven’t renewed my subscription.
If I may use this classic comparison, your product is either a medicine or a vitamin. For me, Raycast is a vitamin.

It's funny how these AI tools made us pay for something that we love the most: code.

I am once again asking you to stop sending us money.

But we do need your time. ⏰

Same here. « Back in the early daysΒ Β» of Inertia, I didn’t find useForm elegant and I just got used to reach for Axios instead. Perhaps I should reevaluate my choice here.

Screenshot of the Folding@home web control dashboard on the Machines tab. It shows one machine listed, named β€œbigdjaiss-4.local,” running v8.4.9 with 8 CPUs. Global counters for CPUs, GPUs, and PPD display 0. The machine is marked β€œUnlinked.” A progress bar shows 22.8% completion for the current work unit, with PPD at 0. Action buttons are visible: β€œFold All” (green), β€œPause All” (blue), and per‑machine icons for settings, log, info, and pause/stop. The top navigation includes Machines, Work Units, Stats, Projects, and News, plus a Login button

Since many of my computers are doing nothing at home, they are now running the @foldingathome.org project to help science.
It allows you to donate your computer’s idle processing power to scientific research.
If all my machines can help, yours probably can too.

Yes. Thank you. As a very casual player it takes me ages to farm the components I need for the helmet my builds require.

It's too sad to see that the main people that I love in the Laravel community decide to remain on Twitter, this horribly toxic place.

In a heartbeat they could move the entire community on Bluesky instead.

GitHub Actions workflow summary showing five successful checks for a pull request: Check translations, Lint PR title, Profanity check, Static analysis with PHPStan, and Type coverage at 100%.

GitHub Actions workflow summary showing five successful checks for a pull request: Check translations, Lint PR title, Profanity check, Static analysis with PHPStan, and Type coverage at 100%.

These are a bunch of new CI checks I've added to one of my new project.
It's really fun, and also really useful.
For instance, I have this check that makes sure all translation files are complete and no translations is missing.

Alright.
To this day, I didn't use Pest because I thought PHPUnit was doing what I needed.
Now that Pest has changed the game with browser testing, I have to admit: this is incredible.
I've migrated my test suit in a matter of minutes, and I implemented browser testing, replacing dusk.
It's SO FAST.

I agree. Linear is a fantastic engineering feat, it’s extremely fast and this is impressive.
But the product is bloated like Jira and doesn’t make it better.
