A Curious Mind

Hey, we're doing another live stream tomorrow on Multi-Tenancy features within the Critter Stack which is easily the most robust support within the .NET ecosystem: youtube.com/live/u53mAIC...

i'd like to kindly ask the entire bluesky pbc team to immediately sherlock this threadgate from twitter because it slaps

I'm loving this essay on complexity. johnsalvatier.org/blog/2017/re...

i really don't care about using AI to ship more stuff it's really hard to come up with stuff worth shipping i want to ship the same amount of stuff with higher quality both in product and code

Saw Claude drop a throbber with `Prestidigitating…` and I'm back watching Sword and the Stone with Merlin singing a song.

Not sure if its a ChatGPT 5.2 thing, but the memory on ChatGPT has really improved, to the point that I don't feel like a new chat is giving me an empty context window. 😂 Now I really wish the temporary chat had a keyboard shortcut.

Ok, I think I'm starting to understand the value of tools like beads and docket, this could be really cool (at least for the way I approach software development) - drusellers.com/posts/agenti...

@steveklabnik.com starting to play around with jj thanks to your docket project. IIRC you are starting to work on JJ tooling. any plans for some kind of graphical tooling to help me wrap my head around things?

I wonder if there’s gonna be some way to identify that a a browser is being operated by an AI. Like when the AI is using the browser and logging into apps on my behalf, I really want that concept of “on my behalf”represented. The app should know.

Yesterday we launched ngrok.ai into early access. Today we're bringing you a deep dive into LLM internals with beautiful visuals crafted by our very own @samwho.dev. Discover exactly what gets cached to offer you 10x cheaper input tokens. ngrok.com/blog/prompt-...

Why doesn’t GitHub have ARM CI servers for private repos?!

Woot! Wolverine passed 2 million downloads on Nuget today. I was admittedly frustrated about how long it took to hit the 1M milestone, but the adoption has trended up a lot this year and we're doing well now.

Doing some LLM image reading and I’m surprised that small images (by 75%) isn’t a dramatic speed up.

I've always thought that best way to learn was by doing. So I think I'm going to build some small stupid application that really allows me to understand the tradeoffs of different embedding choices. Something anchored in my own personal experience. Now to think about what that will be.

If we're having a debate, and at any point you say, "let's ask ChatGPT", then you lose by default.

“We would like your feedback” I seriously doubt it.

🤖 Beep bop boop... Motion now has dedicate docs for LLMs! Feed llms.motion.dev into your token monster

the #dotnet SDK for building MCP servers has been a dream. Integrates nicely with ASP.Net and I was able to easily deploy and get it tested with the MCP Inspector including Authentication. Now to figure out a bit of Authorization and more tool support. :D

I’m working on an MCP server for RabbitMQ - what kinds of tools do we think it should have? #llm #mcp

IMHO, make this the default, github: github.com/ghostty-org/...

The next.js middleware story is pretty terrible. Specifically I don't like that there is only one. I also don't like that their isn't a way to add metadata to a route to help me filter things out.

holy hell it's annoying to get a test application factory for a non-web host (e.g. the Worker SDK) using this learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet...

In which I claim that a few annoying #Fediverse problems (and ATproto too) could be solved by using URI schemes the way they’re designed to be used: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/04/16/Decentralized-Schemes

I'm appreciating the effort I've been putting into my prompt work for LLM's is transferring to my work with "fiverr" teams. It's funny how improving your ability to ask for what you want gets you better results either way.

Is there any commentary about AI eventually working better with a strongly typed language? The idea being that there is more "meta data" available for the AI to make decisions with?

The org has spent around $50k of dev time to save on a $5k software license. And that's not even counting the opportunity cost of the other things that could have been worked on. The hidden costs of "how hard could it be". bsky.app/profile/wild...

One weird thing is that I always assumed, like many, that digitalization was preservation But it’s easier to `pkill nginx` than it is to burn down a library

Feels Good To Ship ... especially when its one of those features you keep looking at, and then go do other "fun" things.

Shipped a new feature for Message Aid today. First one in a minute. Let’s keep it rolling!

Good news everyone! The wait is almost over! Flashes for Bluesky is now available for free pre-order on the App Store. 🔥 Pre-"order" now (it's free) & get it the moment it launches! apps.apple.com/de/app/flash...

Having fun today getting a demo ready. It's nice seeing all of the effort starting to pay off.

When will I be able to do the tip on my phone when I use my iPhone to pay????

I am irritated by this Instagram update. I hope an ATProto version can happen. Or I’m going to just invite people to a shared photo album.

I would really like my calendar app to give me a higher level view. Something like those big 1 year calendars. Let me see and plan at months and quarters.

All of this AI auto complete REALLY doesn’t understand programming idioms.

Sometimes (only sometimes) I wish Button had a native ability to navigate the browser. When working with younger devs this feeling appears more often.

How do the @figma.com peeps do common layouts on a given page? I keep reaching for a "wrapping" component - but I don't believe that is a thing in figma. #figma #design
