Not necessarily. Plenty of devs (me included) clean up or reinit git history before a first release or going public. I understand it’s now read as an AI slop signal, but that’s no reason to dismiss their work.

They do have quite a few products now, the desktop apps, websites, cowork, cloud session sandboxes, API, enterprise, etc. have their own gotchas, but after a core development, the 30000 commits a day does not feel justified, or is that an online training dataset prep, that's hard to tell. That's why I feel with their endless tokens, it feels just petty marketing and that's sad because it does not bring much to our engineering table.

I dont believe it, its FOMO marketing to me.

I appreciate how it's being integrated into the Google ecosystem, but the user experience still feels unpolished when actually using the system. The marketing, however, is impressive.

The internet that we know, was not built for this.

Great initiative from the folks at tokio. How does it aim to be different from loco.rs https://github.com/loco-rs/loco?

Handy is awesome! I used it for quite a while before Claude Code added voice support. Solid software, very good linux and mac integration. Shoutout to Parakeet models as well, extremely fast and solid models for their relatively modest memory requirements.

I like minimal UI so https://szymonkaliski.com/ is my absolute favorite.

AI-generated code can be useful in the early stages of a project, but it raises concerns in mature ones. Recently, a 280kloc+ Postgres parser was merged into Multigres (https://github.com/multigres/multigres/pull/109) with no public code review. In open source, this is worrying. Many people rely on these projects for learning and reference. Without proper review, AI-generated code weakens their value as teaching tools, and more importantly the trust in pulling as dependencies. Code review isn’t just about bugs, it’s how contributors learn, understand design choices, and build shared knowledge. The issue isn’t speed of building software (although corporations may seem to disagree), but how knowledge is passed on.
Edit: Reference to the time it took to open the PR: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sougou_the-largest-multigres-...

Oh in that case bsky is basically the same stack, they happen to have a react-native-web app with Expo. Maybe its the dozens of analytics that is being processed every minute.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but why does Bluesky feel so much faster to load and interact with compared to X? On the surface, both have similar interfaces and equally rich content, yet Bluesky consistently feels snappier and more responsive, even though it’s the newer platform.

> “Computers aren’t the thing; they’re the thing that gets us to the thing.”
I used to be overly pedantic about the kinds of things programmers often obsess over—like micro-benchmarks, the whole “I use Arch, by the way” attitude, and other obnoxious quirks. But this quote stuck with me and helped me move past that shallow, one-upmanship view of computers. Great show to ones who haven't watched yet.

Oh if you wanna add crypto to the mix, Marc would like to talk to you, maybe we can work something out.
