    We use RubyLLM in production too, the most elegant library in this space I've seen so far. I also liked how they run the issue tracker. If you select "Feature Request", it makes yo…

    Same here. Loved the LTS thinking and Ember data being built in but hiring was a pain and ecosystem packages were often out of date.

    The whole idea that my RUNTIME contains code that a single human hasn't looked at does make me uncomfortable, but if this actually works without a ton of issues it's pretty remarka…

    Aside from how impressive the model is, the demos here are very well done! Quirky and short, unlike what we're used to from Anthropic and OpenAI.

    Only a portion of these are "scandals", the rest are just usual startup failures.

    That's 2 major layoffs this week (Coinbase being the other). Is there an underlying common reason for this? And is it indeed AI-driven productivity as both companies claim?

    Nice one. Pleasantly surprised that this has nothing to do with Cursor the IDE

    Been testing these via their "pool" agent. It's fast, and the agent adheres to the ACP spec pretty well (better than codex, opencode etc.) so it's a good experience in Zed.

    Most of the comments here are clearly from people who haven't used GitButler. Try it out and it's a very sticky product, clearly superior workflow to vanilla Git.

    Saw this on Twitter a few weeks ago, interesting approach. The post links to the GitHub repo, but imo the website does a better job of explaining what it does: https://ataraxy-labs…

    Two questions I'd have expected the article to answer: (a) how did they identify the employee, and (b) how come they weren't sent to jail

    Surprised that none of the comments here are comparing this to Bootstrap.

    In case anyone finds it useful, we (CodeCrafters) built a coding challenge as a companion to this book. The official repository for the book made this very easy to do since it has …

    Wild how this beats 2.5 Pro in every single benchmark. Don't think this was true for Haiku 4.5 vs Sonnet 3.5.

    For those who haven't seen the actual issue that links to, I'd take a closer look. Pretty insane: https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/3792#issuecomment-3...

    Always felt dependency updates are a perfect fit for AI agents: (a) they’re broadly similar across companies, (b) they aren’t time-sensitive, so the agent can take hours without an…
