I just published a deep-dive into the 250-hour build behind syntaqlite, a SQLite formatter and LSP I built using AI agents. AI agents were the only reason built this after 8 years of wanting but there's a psychological toll to AI-assisted engineering. The post-mortem: lalitm.com/post/buildin...

I love that Claude code is horrible at Helm charts and K8s. Just horribly complex design decisions that our LLM buddies make a mess of too.

Today my 2 year old looked at me and said “agape”. I don’t know what she meant at first but I realized she’d found my prized Greek dictionary and had had learned the many words for love. I corrected her poor grammar of course but appreciated the effort.

Me, arriving in Heaven: Truly I am filled with the joy of the angels! God: Actually you just feel normal. Yeah you had a stomachache for seventy years.

In response to the tragically devastating floods in Texas yesterday & today, I've seen questions asking how is it possible that the NWS was able to predict floods from Helene days in advance, but yesterday's storms did not have nearly as much of a lead time.

React 19.1 enables Server Components in Parcel with React Stable (not only canary)! Just released Parcel v2.14.3 with the corresponding update. 🥳

this is huge news imo. it’s a first-class (code is split between the React and the Parcel repos) framework-agnostic integration of RSC. hopefully this paves the way for more first-class framework-agnostic bundler integrations!

🚨 BREAKING: Long COVID research grants rescinded earlier this week have been restored, according to researchers & patient reps. Advocates organized quickly yesterday in response to the news, helping reverse the decision. Exclusive in @thesicktimes.bsky.social thesicktimes.org/2025/03/28/u...

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately. The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

In case you wonder where that pesky NIH funding they are cutting goes in your state… Overhead costs aren’t like the salaries of pencil pushers, they are the costs of the research hospitals needed to do the… research! www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...
