Be able to use local models, I guess. Stuff like Ollama.

I've been mulling a switch to Suunto because Garmin has been jumping the pricing shark for a while now. To add insult to injury, they're not adding new software features to 2-3 old ex-flagship hardware. But Suunto is missing some features I need, and I'm so locked in with Garmin Connect 😭

Fellow cyclist/runner here. Even when perfectly healthy and rested I have good & bad days. Get well soon! You've got a lot of kms in you.

Warp. I love the smart autocompletion, text block selection, selectable output blocks, and general snappiness. I'm not super in love with all the AI features, but those can be handy too. You can write in plain English what you're trying to do and it generates the command for you.

So I can finally code from the beach while sipping a Mai Tai?

I was thinking dollars, but whatever

Yeah, those colors look great. I think they could make it even cheaper with a polycarbonate case + alloy skeleton. Same for a cheap iPhone.

It's a decent internet browsing device to get your foot in the Apple ecosystem, but I think the Air is the best value, though the spec I want is ~$1700

Right now I can pick from 6 pre-defined tab colors that are a bit muted. At the very least I would like more colors to choose from (brighter ones preferably), but also a Custom option with color picker. Also, tab grouping would be nice + arranging tabs left/bottom/right side of window, not just top

One little thing would make me happy: let me pick custom tab colors.

Yeah I still use it. I'm not a fan of the AI features but I love the auto-complete

Needs some padding

I'm not sure we'll make it to 2027, let alone 20026 🤣

So... achievable for the average guy 😅

How many millions in that picture?

A Laravel package to serve markdown to AI agents | freek.dev We just published a new package called Laravel Markdown Response that lets your Laravel app serve markdown versions of your HTML pages. Your existing controllers and views stay exactly the same. Let me walk you through what the package can do.

Yeah baby! I've been waiting a long time for this puppy!

I wish I didn't need LI but unfortunately there are companies that demand a LI profile link when you apply for a job. Pretty fucking dumb to make that mandatory.

Dat keyboard 🤌

Hey, it's what I do every morning!

Hey I built a thing! 👋

It's refdocs-cli, a tool to provide your agentic coding tools with super token-efficient documentation search using local markdown files you pull down. So far it seems to use far less tokens than MCP.

Totally offline, very fast and light weight.

👏 your designer knocked it out of the park

Well, I like Miatas and flower shirts, so maybe? 🤔

20+ yr career here. Feels like the end of days for software engineering. AI has killed the spark for me. I use it a lot just to keep up with the huge amount of work, but there's no joy in it. I'm not even close to retirement, but it's as if there's no place in this world for people like me anymore.

In a house, robots are painting, writing and playing music, with smiles on their faces. Outside, in the pouring rain, a human empties a wheelie bin into a refuse vehicle while another sweeps the street with a glum expression on her face. A third human is cycling down the road with a Just Eat food delivery on his back, while a fourth walks along the pavement, arms filled with packages from Amazon.

Seen on Mastodon. This is by Dutch cartoonist Tjeerd Royaards.

Every business right now thinks its such an essential part of your life that you'd give them anything to keep using it and brother I am here to tell you I don't need a chat app that bad

Oh no this could never happen in the US :\

Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

Yep except I don't feel it makes me 10x more productive. It may be the case if it was actually competent, but having to hand-hold it at every step kills that advantage. It's just a tool that can help when I get stuck. I just can't use this shit as the main driver - it kills the joy of coding for me.
