I don't really get the draw for putting Agents in group chats. As a utility? sure. But anything else? I don't know.
Imagine hanging out with a group of friends and a robot is sitting at the table. Like, why?

Wait a 30B valuation? Seriously?
Exclusive: Cursor, a startup that makes an AI-coding tool beloved by engineers, has raised $2.3 billion at a $29.3 billion valuation—nearly 12 times the value the company had in January.

I’ve swung back a bit on how much I use AI at work. This post articulates why that feels way more rewarding than just being done.

First leaflet posted using @leaflet.pub . What a breeze! And I synced it up with my blog as well using my PDS!
Recently gave a talk at work about why the AI hype doesn't seem to carry-over to real work.
Why vibe-coding standards are a pitfall in real software projects
Thoughts about why we tend to over index on AI's abilities in vibe-coded projects vs production software

This post does a fantastic job explaining why AI art doesn't hit the same as actual art. Could never put a finger on it before.

Had a coworker who discouraged me from using stacked-diffs. I didn't think having smaller PRs was a controversial take, but I guess it is.

I love that zohran normalizes casual hangs like this. This is how politicians should be.
Grabbed some post-announcement fuel at Chamoun’s Way. You’ll be seeing a lot more of these faces.

This is so helpful! And makes perfect sense. I currently host my content on GitHub (as issues) and use their APIs to fetch the data when my blog loads. I guess I could just use my public identifiers to get my raw data for posts if I publish to leaflet.

After reading the at-proto docs, I think I understand most concepts from the documentation. One thing I don't understand is if the data is technically "yours", am I able to render it in my blog? Do I still need oauth? If i publish a leaflet, can I also render it in my own website? @atproto.com

#HindsHall by Macklemore is an absolute masterpiece. It’s impossible to listen to it and not feel sadness, and determination and immense sympathy for the resistance in Palestine.

Been diving more and more into this rabbit hole. This is genius really. The insane bias that I was exposed to on X was exhausting. Using something like @graze.social allows you to change your feeds to be more aligned with your ideals.
Exciting news! Graze just got easier. Today we're releasing a new "simple feed" designer to quickly learn the ropes without getting too in the weeds. If you're on the fence about building a feed, it's never been easier to start!

So fed up with X that i came back to bsky. Found this post by @danabra.mov and it is the most eloquent explanation of open social I’ve seen. Just deleted X. All in on this paradigm.
