Possible hot take: Not everything needs a cupholder. My desk, my bag, my kid's push chair, the shopping cart, the car door, etc., etc. Who's actually using all of these?

Me 3 months ago: "I don't let Claude do git rebase because it rewrites history. That's too risky!" Me today: "I'm not doing this nasty rebase, that'll take too long!"

New rule for professional communication: Never use the word leverage when you could just leverage the word use.

The @figma MCP server with Claude Code generates loads of needless CSS and HTML that are not aligned with existing patterns. Result: lots of manual code review and changes. Still faster than hand coding, but annoying.

Long ago programmers worked very hard to efficiently use memory due to hardware limitations. We entering an age where we do the same with tokens.
alright agent nerds, if you care about your tokens and usage limits, pay attention to the tools you give to your agents. i built a benchmark that compared various browser tools for agents, and here's an example of their massive difference in cost and latency doing the same task

AI hot take: AI code generation's highest value is for throwaway, low risk, security agnostic, code. Little disposable scripts, unfamiliar domains, experiments, and prototypes. Serious production code is a more complicated story!

This is the kind of 2d game I've been looking forward to for a long time. #stealthaction #MetalGearSolid
What’s up, #teaseyagame! Double Crossed is a story-driven #stealthgame inspired by #metalgearsolid and #immersivesim classics like #deusex and #dishonored. Stay unseen. Improvise. Survive. Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2…

Will AI reduce overall software jobs? Every company has a mile long feature backlog and a bug list that grows back like weeds. Software is information processing. Unlike soybeans or pencils, we'll never have enough. Demand will fill any additional productivity gains from AI.

It's been twenty years since I saw this on opening weekend. I watched it again today. It holds up after 20 years! I stand by what I said when I left the theater. "That was actually good. Really good!" #XMen20 @DavidBHayter @RealHughJackman

After playing #TheLastofUsPartll I think I'll pass.
"Having said that" is just a phrase people use when they want to contradict themselves while still sounding smart.
This seems unfair to good designers.

Finally started digging into #HollowKnight What an amazing game! Nearly flawless execution in every detail. The hand drawn graphics, sound design, themes, boss battles, level design. It's as good as Metroidvanias can get. #TEAMCHERRY @TeamCherryGames
