Recently got into self-hosting. Here’s a write-up of my setup. bryananthonio.com/blog/my-home...

Wrote about my new NAS build, including a few things I learned along the way. I was surprised to learn that some used Ryzen PRO CPUs are locked to their original vendor's motherboards. Fortunately, mine wasn't. bryananthonio.com/blog/buildin...

What a game

Debugging React code is a nightmare when so many hooks are involved

lol for a sec I thought Anthropic was collabing with Microsoft on a new Fable game

This is so cool 😍

This industry is cooked

How many tokens does it take to change a lightbulb?

TanStack router is such a joy to use 😌

>They envy me like Nevada Drake, what kinda bar is this?? Because Nevada is shortened as NV?? 😆

Is it just me or are these supply chain attacks becoming more frequent?

The robots are coming… 🤖

Can’t believe it’s been so long since the last season. I almost forgot this show even existed.

I was setting up a WireGuard VPN for the first time the other day when I learned about why it's important to configure Dynamic DNS for this. Here's what I learned after going down that rabbit hole #homelab

Great piece by @lopatto.bsky.social (gift link) This gets at something I've been struggling with for a while about how weird this industry has gotten. There are so many AI products out there but many of them just seem oddly out of touch with what people actually want.

Last week, I gave a keynote at appliedml.us/2026/ on machine learning and engineering. Like a lot of us, I've had questions and anxiety around software development today. The talk covers why good engineering is still important (and 🌷). vickiboykis.com/2026/04/20/b...

THE PEOPLE DO NOT YEARN FOR AUTOMATION

sometimes you just have to go all-caps in the headline www.theverge.com/podcast/9170...

If this is true, guess it's time for me starting looking at alternatives...

Hey, I wrote a thing about AI in astrophysics ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

⚠️ Update: The Node.js project's security bug bounty program is being paused. Reporting remains unchanged, and so does our commitment to security. More details here: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/discontinuing-security-bug-bounties

Watching the tech industry unleash unpredictable software into production in the name of AI adoption, then spend twice as much time and money trying to limit the blast radius, proves humans should be investing in our own intelligence before allowing the machines to mimic us.

Now just maybe I’ll be able to afford buying parts for a new NAS 😮‍💨

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

Here we go again

16GB of RAM in a MacBook just doesn't seem to be enough for me these days 🥲

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

⚡️ Vite 8.0 is here! The most significant architectural change since Vite 2. ⏬ Powered by @rolldown.rs bringing faster production builds and more consistency 🛤️ New features such as tsconfig paths and emitDecoratorMetadata support vite.dev/blog/announc...

When will these layoffs end? 😬

When it comes to AI agents / AI tooling + coding, I hear an awful lot of talk about: Efficiency Iteration speed / PR output rate / lines of codes produced I hear zero mentions about: Quality Customer obsession This will bite back, and it probably already is...

Is this the new Xbox? 😂

Don’t let influencers fool you, coding with AI (Claude Code / Codex / Gemini) still takes a lot of work. You may be more productive, but expect long hours and many late nights. It’s like creating a 15-minute short using AI. It may look easy, but it often takes weeks of trials to produce that video.

This touches on some observations I’ve been mulling about regarding vibe coding. Executing an idea is now cheaper than ever. But, many people just aren’t going to put up with the effort required to specify how to build things.

Here’s a nice tool for this utopia.fyi/type/calcula...

It boggles my mind that there’s a segment of the economy that thrives on people forgetting to cancel subscriptions

How is this sustainable in the long run?

Introducing chartli 📊 A CLI for rendering charts in your terminal from numeric text data. $ 𝚗𝚙𝚡 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚕𝚒 I wanted terminal charts with zero setup. No browser, no Python env, no matplotlib. Pipe numbers in, get a chart out. Again built it my coding taste using Command Code.

Somehow this wasn’t on my bingo card www.reuters.com/business/ope...

this is so cool haptics.lochie.me

The RAM crunch could kill products and even entire companies, memory exec admits

There’s a lot of tooling being built around getting coding agents to ingest the appropriate context needed for completing tasks. Is there any similar work on getting them to forget stuff that might not be relevant?

So glad I bought some hard drives for my NAS over the winter holidays 😮‍💨

This is pretty wild read — “Trust is Being Manufactured Faster than It’s Earned” socket.dev/blog/ai-agen...

I still keep forgetting about the jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26. 😵‍💫

What would I do in a situation like this? If I were just starting my career, I'd be listening to everything. I'd bet on the future and hedge on the fundamentals. I'd pick the most popular agentic coding tool and go all in. I'd hedge that bet by learning the fundamentals of software development.

Case in point from the article: “Engineers increasingly found themselves coaching colleagues who were “vibe-coding” and finishing partially complete pull requests. This oversight often surfaced informally—in Slack threads or quick desk-side consultations—adding to engineers’ workloads.”
