A screenshot of the lubeno repository hosted on lubeno.dev containing the following changes: - Add lazy loading of diffs and UI improvements - Add line expand above and below inside diffs - Switch to refractor + One Light theme for syntax higlighting - Add diff syntax higlighting with Sugar High - Add total lines changed in diff and info about diff target - Add warning and confirmation before repository is transfered.

Took some time today to work on lubeno.dev and managed to do a bunch of stuff! Can't wait to ship it soon with some other changes.

You might not like it, but this is what peak performance design looks like.

I still think about this VC tweeting in January how "frontend" was a solved problem now.

Just started trying it out as well :)

I like to optimize my code for "rewritability". Once I have the first version done, I have probably learned so much that the rewrite will result in better performance and cleaner abstractions.

However, with LLMs you don't learn anything. Makes it very hard to move away from first version/demo.

Might also help with churn to have a finish point. If someone is 9 months in, they don't want to cancel right before they get it.

I just don't know of any product doing this.

Did anyone try a short term subscription model, where after X months you own the product?

I hate subscriptions, but it's super hard to convince people to pay upfront the whole "lifetime value" to make the buisness work.

"Pay $5/mo for 12 months and get a lifetime license for free"

We should have never legitimized gambling or outsourced our thinking.

wanna hear me go on at length about regulatory regimes in safety-critical? why Rust is poised to be a step-change in terms of confidence?

wanna listen to it at 0.5x to really soak it in?

my talk about this at Rust Nation UK 2026 is live!

This didn't last long 😅. Subscription canceled.

I have been very happy with Codex (the $20 plan. Also the CLI is much less buggy than CC in my experience, open source and written in Rust!

No Other Choice was a documentary. One position available per company and everyone desperate to get it.

Code is cheap, but tests just became 10x more valuable. Will rebrand myself as a test engineer.

Absolutely in love with the new design Luisa made for lubeno.dev. If you are looking for an alternative to GitHub, you need to check it out!

i think LLMs are fascinating technology with a number of likely use cases when that technology is further refined, but it doesn’t really bode well that a not-insignificant number of enthusiasts and even pioneers in LLM R&D exhibit varying degrees of superstitious belief regarding their sentience

Vibecoders are bringing the waterfall back! Gather requirements, write a spec, plan ...

The belief that everyone will build their own software instead of paying for polished products is ridiculous. Any money you save is tiny compared to the peace of mind you get.

Everyone is so angry about everything at the moment.

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.

historically, tech was an infinite money printer because you can write a program once and then sell it or its utility unlimited times. you can keep building atop existing things and not have to duplicate effort on remaking things that already exist

Not the first time I hear this. Brace yourself for a wave of "agentic burnouts", in particular among ADHD people where the continuous dopamine fix resulting from agents producing stuff leads people to endlessly keep feeding them.

The Gamers Nexus YouTube channel somehow became the most trustworthy news source.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go?

Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary.

It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

lmao holy shit, shots fired

This is good read about the state of open source and AI. Unfortunately, I'm skeptic about GitHub doing something to make things better. So far, their latest changes in PRs, splitting large PRs in one page per file(WTF), make reviewing code generated by AI worse, no better 🤷‍♂️
