I was so sure this was going to be about AI somehow. #bamboozled

Very cool! What's the bundle size?

You ever think maybe you should just use Firebase?

I think you can trim some items off your list and still struggle to find stable sync offerings. Tons of promise, but... progress has stalled?

@npmx.dev feels like Vue. I mean, it is Vue (Nuxt) but it also FEELS like Vue. If you know what I mean.

I just installed Pop OS on my laptop, and it was a really painless install. Kind of shocking how easy it was. Even the Nvidia driver just worked!

Nice, I was just trying to figure this out yesterday.

Do I subscribe to @github.com Copilot for another year, or switch to @anthropic.com Claude code? I am really productive with Opus using Copilot, but understand that I may be missing out on... something.

I like the "click on a component to open it in vscode" magic tool. I need to fix this bug riiiiiight here.

Didn't they like build Postman into their devtools?

Worth it though!

Just pure magic.

Another easy Vue upgrade, thank you! Building on Vue has let me focus on my app rather than chasing breaking changes every 6 months.

This was why I passed on pragmaticDnD. I think it's great that they're using the platform, but no way to "trigger" the drag event on mobile without a long hold makes it less usable it certain drag and drop contexts.

I ended up using PointerEvent events (maybe didn't exist when portable was built.)

It's 2023, and I'm writing my new cyberpunk novel.

"Github copilot CLI is now available on Opencode. I wonder if I could use it with sprites.dev if I plug in the built in claude skills. Gonna vibe code a new character in my agent orchestror. Token burn rate up to 1 million per hour."

For files in Google Cloud Storage, the limit looks like it's 2GB. How does the model deal with this? Is it executing code to extract portions into context? Surely it's not dumping the whole thing into the context window?

Fly’s new Sprites.dev addresses both developer sandboxes and API sandboxes at the same time New from Fly.io today: Sprites.dev. Here’s their blog post and YouTube demo. It’s an interesting new product that’s quite difficult to explain—Fly call it “Stateful sandbox environments with checkpoin...

Sprites.dev by @fly.io is a very cool new thing: it solves two of my pet problems at once, developer sandbox environments for coding agents and a JSON API for executing untrusted code

Plus it's fast! Both it and Haiku are great for quick fixes.

400 comments on HN about using tailscale, tmux, and codex/claude code to code on your phone.

@warp.dev be like 👀

VC backed terminal looking for an exit? Next acquisition target for Anthropic after @bun.sh?

The alternative is... loading spinner? Optimistic permissions? Blank screen while you wait for the db? Is this a solved problem and I've just never heard the answer?

What exactly are people building with all these agent orchestrators? More agent orchestrators? Are there really so many features you are building simultaneously that you need 3/5/10 agents working at the same time?

My first post on my new personal website explains how this rambling tool was born.

I spent dead week learning about self hosting using @coolify.io . It gives me a lot of respect for the engineering required at @cloudflare.social and @vercel.com and @netlify.com . It's really impressive that they created these secure, easy to use systems that abstract away all this complexity.

I feel like i keep up with this stuff fairly well, and still learned a lot from this post. Thank you.

I've never run Nuxt on the backend. Where do you host it?

In Github copilot, it burns tokens at 3x the base rate... and I still choose to use it.

New landing page! (Built in #Nuxt). Pivoting to custom software services for small to medium sized businesses. It better reflects the type of work I'm doing.

I just disabled all of my self hosted AI powered automations. The convenience is not worth the potential security implications.

Are typos in an email now a sign of respect? Like virtue signaling your human effort by demanstrating you arent using an LLM?

I do all my own customer support, but I need a little help these days. Using @coolify.io, I took 5000 customer support emails, put them in a vector database, and setup #AI to generate draft emails. They still need a human touch, but it's a few less times I need to write "Please restart the app."
