True. The best thing I did in the past years was to set up some recurring tasks in @todoist to audio message my friends every X time. Life happens and I want to make interactions deliberate.
We agreed with long async audio messages to be listened as podcasts. It's going great :)

a lot of people haven't updated on the fact that a lot of beliefs about programming are now falsifiable

Todoist was one of the first SaaS apps with a truly open API. We now offer MCP, a command-line client, SDKs, first-party integrations with ChatGPT/Claude, hooks, and more.

I have to say: it's amazing to see so many things I implemented by hand when I was working on my i3/sway configs being implemented as plugins by an engaged community.
It was always possible, but having hype and people sharing stuff is very helpful.
I found myself in need of different layouts per workspace in Omarchy. Here's a plugin that solves that problem. You can even make your own layouts and presets.

Vorremmo provare a far capire ai più giovani perché da ieri sera i social sono invasi da post dedicati a Oscar Schmidt. Scegliamo tre aneddoti per farlo:
- Oscar non ha mai giocato in NBA perché rifiutò il contratto proposto dai Nets. Nel 1984 gli stranieri in NBA praticamente non esistevano. Oltretutto vigeva una regola per cui ai giocatori NBA era vietato giocare per la propria Nazionale. Oscar non andó mai in NBA perché non avrebbe mai rinunciato al Brasile
- È anche grazie a Oscar se nel 1989 venne eliminato questo divieto. Nel 1987 ai giochi panamericani, il Brasile sconfisse in finale gli USA (senza giocatori NBA) e Oscar segnó 46 punti. Per gli USA quella sconfitta fu una “vergogna” (vincevano sempre loro) e nel giro di poco tempo iniziarono a convocare i giocatori NBA in Nazionale arrivando poi a formare il Dream Team nel 1992
- questa è la classifica del record di punti segnati da un giocatore alle Olimpiadi: 55 punti Oscar, 48 Doncic, 46 Palubinskas, 46 Oscar, 46 Oscar, 45 Oscar, 44 Oscar, 44 Oscar, 44 Oscar.
E il record di punti segnati ad un Mondiale? Facile, Oscar 52 punti.
Ieri sera ci ha lasciato la più impressionante macchina da canestri della storia.
😱
Who would've thought @playdate needed a @todoist client? @MichaelMofina did, and it's BRILLIANT.
Crank to complete is *peak* UX.

Finally, Python 3.14 lets you disable GIL!
It's a big deal because earlier, even if you wrote multi-threaded code, Python could only run one thread at a time, giving no performance benefit.
But now, Python can run your multi-threaded code in parallel.
And uv fully supports it!
That makes a lot of sense, and why vibe coding projects from scratch is so good, you can just recreate it if it's not good enough.
I am convinced we are doing AI coding wrong. Completely wrong in fact.
Humans need abstraction and code reuse to reduce costs and manage complexity.
That is not true for AIs however. They can just brute force things. No reuse and abstractions needed.
So instead of trying to coerce AIs to "structure" their code for our own benefit, we should just let them do the thing they do best, generate whatever code they want. As long as it works, we should be happy.
It is a bit like organizing your email in folders vs using search.
Embrace the chaos!
Thanks, Greg KH. That's the kind of leadership I was expecting to see.

Livro atualizado para a versão 3.4. Poucas alterações na linguagem, ganhos de performance, mais algum conteúdo no livro.
No final tem uma lista de empresas que trabalham com a linguagem aqui no Brasil. Obrigado à todos que confirmaram! :-)

I am reading about Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDT). And I came across these fantastic implementations by Evan Wallace!
It's interesting to see how real-world collaborative applications work with the help of these data structures and algorithms!

Twitter is becoming less and less interesting. Many people posting content I like are migrating somewhere else. Considering doing the same (or quitting social media altogether) 🤷♂️.
I did entire presentations on a topic and I watch it today as if it was another person speaking 😂
