Incredible! Claude Code was able to integrate better-auth in just 10 minutes, freeing me up to spend my time on other important tasks, such as fixing this buggy better-auth integration.

Any evidence of a sleeper ‘agent’ trained INTO an LLM yet? Thinking subtle code recommendations opening back doors…seems plausible and hard to uncover.

So many great talks lined up for @syncconf.bsky.social! Unfortunately I’ll miss it. I’d be fascinated to hear the Dialog DB talk. Some serious business coming together there! 🤯

I hear AWS has an outage today. My heart goes out to those of you still writing software hosted there.

“For developers and founders, the lesson is straightforward. […] Build at the platform layer or build internal leverage. If you want to sell SaaS, make sure it is vertical, deeply integrated, and ROI-proven. Everything else will get commoditized.”

“When you use AI, I desperately need you to acknowledge, for the sake of the unvoiced: These conjured artifacts of value, generated at your will as if by magic, presently comes from a technology wholly premised on the non-consensual extraction and subsequent erasure of past labor.”
I have colleagues and fellow travelers who use AI tech that I find deeply objectionable. Yet we’ve all been born into the original sin of abusive technology, so the best anyone can do is run that technology against its own power structure and challenge its foundation.
