"You're absolutely right!" — Claude Code, for the nth time. The prompt, "fix the tests [. ]", is followed by a confident Claude deleting valid production code to satisfy its objective. Tragicomic.

Coding with LLMs (e.g Claude Code, Aider) feels like the Halting Problem: you don't know whether a prompt will work until you try it. When you keep asking the AI to fix what it broke, hoping the next prompt will be the last one, you got trapped in the Halting loop.

It’s frustrating seeing such a cool video and not knowing whether it’s real or AI made/veo3. Fact-checking everything isn’t scalable.

I just found a book café built in a cave in China’s Guangxi. I was also worried about waterproofing. Actually, rocks at the top of the cave can provide shelter.

If they bring the same people who designed the new Photos app, we’re in trouble.

Cursor is great, but in my experience it hasn't been any silver bullet like people have proclaimed. So far, I've seen a lot of survivorship bias and echo chambers. This is one of the first posts the algorithm recommends where Cursor failed completely (excl. memes).

i'm shutting down my app 😑. Cursor just keeps breaking other parts of the code. you guys were right, I shouldn’t have deployed unsecured code to production. I'll just rebuild it with Bubble, a more user friendly and secure platform for non techies like me. I appreciate everyone.

This is something I've been thinking about for years. Admin tools should have it by default. I thought the Block Protocol would usher that into existence, but so far it hasn't. Perhaps one alternative is for all JS components to intrinsically support post-it-like notes.

imagine a software UI where anyone on your team can "tape a note" anywhere with a helpful tip 😊.

Found out about the wonders of L-teanine and now I’m hooked. The discovery came yesterday by trying matcha for the first time and accidentally (almost) overdosing it . Amazing sensation of hyper focus. Recommend.

Markets aren’t logical. It’s more like a fish swarm, moving where the swarm is moving. Sometimes a large shark or whale makes a rapid change in direction and the swarm panics.

Why is the market selling off Nvidia / compute stocks? The correct reaction to R1 breakthrough should be to buy *even more* compute.
