I think it’s our fault: many replies don’t recognize the level of abstraction and composition that is possible with React and talk primarily about “how it looks” as if that’s necessarily coupled to how it works.

It's amazing how often the senior engineer special sauce is that they read the docs.

Check out the new React Aria Components examples page! Fully styled and animated examples with Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, and more. Copy, paste, and modify to get started quickly, or just use it as a learning resource. I had so much fun building it! 🙌 react-spectrum.adobe.com/react-aria/exa…

I thought Tobi's call to action to adopt AI at Shopify was impressive and forward-thinking leadership Bit it struck me that it takes *this much* effort and such a strong push to get wide AI adoption in the workplace. The UX of AI just isn't there yet. More on this below✍️

This is the most inspiring thing I’ve read in AI in the last two years: storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media… What a beautiful future ahead, just happy to take part in it.

This is a *great* essay that explains what I’ve long believed “AI-first” products really ought to look and feel like. This is why it’s not so obvious the incumbent will stay the incumbent—without a willingness to burn the boat. It is why I think many of the next great products

the trick to ai is just being like “wait a minute does this api even exist” to which it replies “YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT”

Ilya Sutskever (OpenAI cofounder): "What does it mean to predict the next token well enough? It means that you understand the underlying reality that led to the creation of that token"

Every time I see a “cursor for …” it makes me realize basically no one understood what cursor actually is or why it’s good

GitHub, please, remember you are building GitHub not just Copilot. 1. Squash commits should be the default. 2. Pull request title and description should be the default. 3. Delete head branches should be the default. Yes others probably have opinions, and they are wrong.

Here's a bit of coding agent magic fairy dust for the day: Don't tell the agent to do something. Tell the agent to _begin_ doing something. The LLM will, on average, make wiser choices about how much work to bite off.

One annoying thing about using a VSCode fork is dealing with the unofficial extension marketplace (usually not an issue, but when it is… 🫠)

Opus+Sonnet to build features, GPT-5 to verify and debug them (via codex-cli) is my corrent dream team. Codex/GPT isn't an agent of many words but seems to dig deeper and finds the actual issue vs Claude's fake "I see the issue now" and randomly changing shit,.

This makes sense to me, but still trying to wrap my head around what it looks like to be good at working with probabilistic outcomes…or is it maintaining quality while simply shipping faster? 🧐

The Linear and Cursor integration is soooo slick

Claude Code: "it's going to take 1 week" Me: "whatever bud, we're doing this now"
