Finally treating myself to a maxed MacBook this Christmas 🎄
Excited to experiment with local AI models in 2026 - feels like we're on the edge of something special with edge computing.
Wishing you all happy holidays and time with the people you care about 🎁

Understanding sync engines: How Figma, Linear, and Google Docs work | Liveblocks blog | Max Heichling
Collaborated with Liveblocks on a deep dive into sync engines:
How Figma, Linear, and Google Docs each handle real-time collaboration. Turns out it's not all the same tech under the hood.
Thanks Stac...

I've seen teams burn out maintaining Kubernetes for 500 users.
3 microservices. 40 hours/week fighting YAML. Zero business value.
A $5 VPS with Docker Compose would've been fine.
Stop cosplaying as Google and ship actual features.

The scale of modern display tech is absurd.
That's a MicroLED on the right: 15×30 micrometers.
Smaller than a dust particle.
Thousands fit where one standard LED used to go.
Wild what's possible with modern manufacturing

Latest OpenAI numbers from the FT:
800m users, 5% paying (40m).
$13bn in ARR.
Implies a $325 annual ARPU, or $27/month per paying user.
70% of rev from subscriptions, rest is API.
$8bn loss in H1, prob $20bn run rate loss now? So basically spending $3 for each $1 in revenue.

Windows 10 support ends tomorrow.
They designed it to be EVERGREEN. The UI is still modern. It works flawlessly. Users love it.
Microsoft is killing their most successful OS for literally no reason except to push Windows 11.
This is customer-hostile nonsense.

The iPhone 16 Pro's A19 chip just took the #1 spot for single-thread performance on the planet
Not "for a phone" or "in its class"
Just straight up faster than Intel's best desktop CPUs
Wide cores + dedicated cache + really good branch prediction. Apple's playing a different game at this point
