Loving building on @Cloudflare as my go to platform for deploying pretty much everything. Seeing them lead the way with MCP, the collab with Astro, TanStack to power open source and the ease of use vs AWS makes it a no brainer for me in 2025

Great line from the CTO of Proton. I’m paraphrasing and stealing it : Your job is not to use agents to help you write code. Your job is to lead the agents to help them write code.

Being able to interact natively with your app in the simulator/xcode might be the only acceptable reason for devs to get a touchscreen MacBook
Sorry, but if I see you doing this publicly I might smack you.

Asking Claude to create a pr-and-commit-style skill, made on how I used to handwrite PR descriptions and commit messages (before AI) has been a total game changer in the fight against slop github.com/barclayd/barclayd…

Codex looks outstandingly good for DDD (Duo driven development). Can’t wait to get my hands on this
I can confirm codexmaxxing on the Duo is a thing!

Just did the same for the first time in the 8 years I've had a GitHub account. Truly is a sign of the times
Replying to @kentcdodds
My biggest friction now is the volume of GitHub emails I'm getting. I may have to turn off email notifications from GitHub 😳

@mattpocockuk I’m an indie dev who got fed up of having prompts in source code, so I made a solution that integrates with AI sdk to make it easier for teams to manage. It’s free and open source. I’m a big fan of your work and would love your feedback pls! promptlycms.com

It's pencils down, people. Writing code by hand is no longer an economically viable skill for most programmers at most companies. But the future of making software has never been brighter. Don't you dare black pill this beautiful moment! youtu.be/vDjW_dRyKXY?si=6Fsf…

Introducing shadcn/lint. An agent-first linter for Tailwind design systems. You define what’s allowed. When an agent breaks a rule, the error explains what’s wrong and how to fix it using your components, variants and theme. There’s a lot you can do with this. Let me show you ↓ github.com/shadcn-ui/lint
