Looks like something anyone working with AI agents will eventually need

I used Zapier a lot, including for Stripe integrations (though I don’t remember if it was for doing payments). It required many zaps, came with a lot of limitations too.

In the end, I wrote a custom API, which saved a lot of money. I’m also not sure it’s easy to properly implement a Stripe connection (using the Stripe library) inside a custom code action in automation tools.

I still don’t really get the point. If the joke works without being a programming language, why make it one? We already have plenty of real languages people don’t want to learn or maintain — adding a satirical one feels more like a novelty than a statement.

I think that if GitHub had charged everyone from the beginning, it wouldn’t have become so popular and wouldn’t have attracted so many users. Maybe if they introduce charges now, it could work, but I’m still sure that a lot of users would drop off, and only those who are basically forced to use it would stay. And this would simply open the door for competitors to create similar products.

This sounds really cool, but I honestly can’t imagine stopping using Adobe apps after so many years and switching to completely new tools. It feels like that would take a lot of time and effort to relearn everything.

Looks like a thoughtful and well-researched piece. Im really into reading, but Id never heard about Virginia Faulkner or this story before. Interesting to see how much invisible editorial work can sit behind a single author book

An interesting example of a self-creating game where both rules and content emerge during play. Because of this, 1000 Blank White Cards feels more like a social experiment or a form of collective creativity than a traditional card game. Its flexibility and lack of rigid structure make it adaptable to very different groups of players.

I think the real issue isn’t AI music itself, but transparency and incentives. If people know what they’re listening to and how it was made, they can decide for themselves. Problems start when AI-generated tracks are mixed into recommendations without clear labeling or context. A good song can still be a good song — but trust in the platform matters.

Pretty cool! A small but useful library for working with calendar intervals and schedules in Python

Opened this out of curiosity. Lost 20 minutes. No regrets.

Hard to wrap my head around the scale of this. Starquakes, shockwaves, and gravitational ripples from colliding neutron stars—it’s like science fiction, but real. Wild what we’re able to detect and model nowadays.

Wow, I never realized you could create such intricate and beautiful structures with origami. This is seriously impressive work!

Interesting tool. Automating commit cleanup could save time, especially before reviews. Curious to see how well it handles larger or more complex diffs.
