More than half of PHP websites could be just static generated websites.

I'm really curious if companies tracking reliable DORA metrics have seen improvements since adopting LLMs.

Soon AI will answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. But we won't have any clue what to do with it. True story.

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure" - Goodhart's law

It will be funny. Soon, programming languages or frameworks have to wait several months or even over a year for LLMs to learn their new features and releases.

Will those with infinite tokens be the oligarchs of tomorrow? Will open source stop them and make it more decentralised, or will (geo)politics and lobbying get in the way?

Dift has now commit history navigation. Open a commit to review its changes, or switch to the full file tree to see every file as it was at that point. You can also select two commits to compare. gitlab.com/akhansari/dift #git #diff #tui

An emerging pattern I see in companies: Specs are Gen AI, docs are Gen AI, codes are Gen AI, feedback is Gen AI, ... Replace meetings by AI agents and we're good.

Someone should use Jev to create a top-tier music recommendation system. It would be even better if it were based on a audio-scrobbler.

Love working with the coding agent (here OpenCode) and Dift (gitlab.com/akhansari/dift) side-by-side. Having both gives me fast feedback loop, control, and continuous learning.

Do you also use Git staging to save good LLM outputs while you experiment? It lets you iterate on prompts and easily throw away untracked changes until you get a result you're happy with for your task/commit.

Today on the pod: pnpm 12, htmx 4, Remix 3 RC, Waku 1 RC, Porforr alpha, type-level dice rolls, full-stack TS/.NET safety. Plus, which community members are committing compile-time crimes? All that and more! share.transistor.fm/s/eb0116e8 #typescript

Oh, I think this will be my favourite nvim tip for discovering CLI usage. Run a command and replace the current buffer with its output: :%!your_command

Now that OpenAI, Claude, and xAI are all down at the same time, I have a Black Mirror scenario: In a few years, when skill atrophy hits hard and the US has enforced closed AIs, imagine there's a major outage at AI providers and nobody can use AI to fix the AI.

🔥 TypeScript without Effect is like JavaScript without TypeScript.

If the LLM supports it, prompt the narrative, business logic, and structural rules in your native lang instead of English, but keep the output in English. Expressing yourself in your mother tongue allows for maximum clarity and nuance, reducing ambiguity and quality degradation. It's a game changer.

Working from home is a premium perk.

The Designing with Types series is finally complete. Using #TypeScript and Effect to model domain rules, make illegal states unrepresentable, and turn primitive values into validated domain types. Inspired by Scott Wlaschin's original F# series. akhansari.tech/series/desig...

Happy user of the Dygma Defy, I've just ordered the Sonsei for when I'm on day trips ✨

I know I keep saying this, but man, I'm in love with Fedora Atomic. It's the most stable and boring OS I've ever tested. It's just perfect. Plus, Cosmic Desktop makes it look beautiful.

I can't wait for the next stable releases of @effect-ts.bsky.social, @drizzle.team, and OpenCode!

Interesting. A repo with 55k stars archived. github.com/FlowiseAI/Fl...

Ok, I've switched completely to nubjs.com. It seems pretty good so far, so I'll evaluate it over the next few weeks. +nub -pnpm -tsx -concurrently

Is it just me, or ever since the pnpm devs started vibe coding, every new release comes with pretty annoying basic bugs?

DBCrab finally has a proper home: akhansari.gitlab.io/dbcrab/ Its a #PostgreSQL client for people who enjoy working in the terminal. Take a look and let me know what you think!

With so many new LLM development workflows popping up and none truly proven yet, it has created complete chaos, making team progress difficult and software quality uncertain and unpredictable.

I've always found it ironic that many open-source projects are hosted on GitHub, which isn't open-source itself. And after all this time, no maintainer has bothered to change that.

Life—the way it really is—is a battle not between good and bad, but between bad and worse Joseph Brodsky

I used to think LLMs would kill JavaScript, but I never imagined it would end up becoming their storefront (via Bun). Humans are shaping LLMs after all...

Simple prompt to evaluate AGENTS.md. "What do you understand when these instructions are given to you: <content>"

I try to cook a CLI to streamline the creation and discovery of specifications and docs (like ADRs) for both agents and people.

Oh there is now an official page for this: opensource.org/ai

I feel like I'm either too dumb or too lazy to figure out Pi.

Just blogged: An opinionated look at how I use #Fedora COSMIC Atomic. akhansari.tech/how-i-use-fe...

I'm still new to this, but I find this insane that I can easily cross-compile #Rust from Linux to Windows, but not to macOS. And yet, people still claim macOS is the ultimate dev-friendly OS.

Big update for DBCrab - Named/Saved SQLs. - [breaking] Switch to KDL configuration. - Switch from Codeberg to GitLab. gitlab.com/akhansari/db... #postgres #repl #tui

OK, I couldn't imagine Codeberg would be to this extent. They don't even see LLMs as a tool to be used properly (Like Linus Torvalds said). They are literally hostile toward this. But I can totally understand their position as a non-profit organisation. blog.codeberg.org/protecting-o...

Okay, I think I'm skeptical about Tangled for now. The business model and founders' vision are a bit too obscure for me.

The impact of AI across the entire economy is nontrivial. Look at the just-announced $3,000 price increase on a fully loaded MacBook Pro. That's entirely an AI tax triggered by data-center-induced chip scarcity. 1/6
