the hack to being productive with claude code is to start the project with great e2e tests that are declarative enough that they let you precisely specify behavior without saying too much

@tailwindcss.com's business model went away overnight — partly because LLMs are accelerating the Open Source sustainability crisis.
I wrote a post about how LLMs popularise projects while simultaneously financially harming their creators.

LLMs Are Accelerating the Open Source Sustainability Crisis

My new little side project is now live: living-architecture.dev

Currently there is a library, CLI, schema, and web app. 100% open source on github: github.com/NTCoding/liv...

Shared knowledge is the best knowledge and @cosmik.network's Semble is far away ahead of the pack. Their team is so thoughtful and talented, and it really shows 😊😎
okay so this wasn't initially meant to be a serious post, but after trying @cosmik.network's semble.so, i'm sold. shared knowledge is very important, and tools like this would have been pivotal to my early education in subjects of computer science.

The Bitter Lesson does not apply to Large Language Models.
Human-Expertise techniques will dominate in the next year, even as LLM's continue to push against those conceptions.

This trend and expectation will not reverse.
The expectations of programmers are only going to increase. Anyone who intends to continue building software and making a living from it must accept increasing difficulty and learn to enjoy it. Otherwise we will need to find something else to do.

Today, we're opening up Seams Alpha (seams.so), a social web annotation built in the Atmosphere. We're hoping it helps with collective sense-making.
This is just the start, there's still lots to do!
We'd love if you tried it with us.

What if we built UNIX scripts that communicated via Structured Logging rather than unstructured text?
I'm not sure it's a good idea, but honestly this is so silly and fun I'm probably going to be writing a lot of a lot of software like this from now on...

The biggest (smallest) surprise? How fun it was to build the demo!
Automerge is so robust, it withstood all our weird ideas — like using physics-driven particles to literally push changes between docs — and it just worked. Perfectly. Every time.
