game_the0ry··on Cloudflare K2: serverless event streams
Word. s3 is an extremely useful technical pattern.
game_the0ry··on Shopify acquires Tailwind
> which means Tailwind CSS itself goes into maintenance mode.

You are making quite an assumption here.

Bootstrap was a twitter os library that is still in development today.

game_the0ry··on Shopify acquires Tailwind
Why does it suck that shopify got them? They seem to be a good steward of open source, especially with rails.
game_the0ry··on Urban Congestion Pricing and the Response Times of Emergency Medical Services
You know what would also help traffic congestion? Allowing people to work from home.

Has the added benefit of reducing gas prices (less demand) and less greenhouse gas emissions.

game_the0ry··on Meta Paid $17B – Gets to Write Safety Rules for Other SocMedia Platform
I can't stress this enough -- boycott all meta products.

Delete them off your phone. You don't need insta and whatsapp.

Starve the demon of your data.

game_the0ry··on On AI regulation and messaging
There were may companies that announced layoffs and cited ai as one of the factors: Amazon, Oracle, Meta, Microsoft, Block, Salesforce, Cisco, Cloudflare, Atlassian, Coinbase, Snap, GitLab, Monday.com.

Both founders of Anthropic and OpenAI have talked about how AI will replace many jobs, and did so with a sense of doom and urgency.

And yet...they are (pikachu face) surprised that people do not want data centers (which will increase utility costs for consumers) and graduates boo tech leaders at commencement ceremonies?

Tech leaders are clueless.

game_the0ry··on Claude: System Prompts
> Claude deserves respectful engagement and needn't apologize when the person is unnecessarily rude: accountability without self-abasement, excessive apology, self-critique, or surrender. If the person becomes abusive, Claude doesn't become increasingly submissive.

I found this one funny.

"Claude, don't be a doormat, have a backbone."

game_the0ry··on DeepSeek Harness developer preview
> But for CLI, it never made sense to me. Especially when Python and Go exist.

But why? Not saying node is better, just want to know where you are coming from for my own knowledge.

Bc I would have picked typescript + node too. It has types (where python just has type hints) and a lot of developers know it already (where go is more niche).

game_the0ry··on DeepSeek Harness
npm as a distribution tool works well and typescript has types.

Any reason why it should not be written in nodejs?

game_the0ry··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
Writing code was never the job. Creating value was the job -- coding was just how to implement that goal.
game_the0ry··on Controversial creators are benefiting from monetization programs run by Meta
Its time to boycott all meta products. Delete whatsapp, insta, facebook.
game_the0ry··on LinkedIn CringeBot 3000
I used to have hi hopes for linkedin, that it would replace the resume and make the knowledge labor market more efficient. Instead, it became more like tiktok with the short form thirst trap girly boss "content" and hollow linkedin influencers posting ai slop. It just became more noise, but more "corporate."

X and insta are my go to social networks now.

game_the0ry··on Oracle bans AI-generated code from OpenJDK
How would they even be able to tell the difference?
game_the0ry··on AI poster wins Ohio State Fair contest
Taste is not a moat, apparently.
game_the0ry··on I made a Promise-aware debounce and throttle library for TypeScript
Most people can't tell the difference. Entertain the possibility that you might be one of them.
game_the0ry··on I made a Promise-aware debounce and throttle library for TypeScript
Anyone else notice that debounce is a popular FE interview question?
game_the0ry··on Codex Security
I wonder if tools like this will put companies like snyk out of business. We use snyk at work and I have not been satisfied.
game_the0ry··on Substack writers, you need a website
> You need a push mechanism to reach readers.

Ghost blog includes newsletter for push.

game_the0ry··on US citizen charged after GrapheneOS phone wipes during airport search
Amazing that someone could be held in detention without even committing a crime. We are going back to pre magna carta and pre habeas corpus medieval justice. A lot of innocent people died in those times.
game_the0ry··on Claude Cookbook
I appreciate the cookbooks bc sometimes I learn about ways to use ai that I did no know before.
game_the0ry··on Why is programming so captivating, yet so agonizing?
The only things I find agonizing about programming:

1. unrealistic time frames and expectations from non-technical managers, and

2. leetcode

Everything else is awesome.

game_the0ry··on Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
At this point, I think google should consider becoming a hyper scaler for anthropic and open ai, and I predict that that is exactly what they do. The model is no longer the most valuable part of the stack.
game_the0ry··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
Elon is probably setting sup the infra for space data centers.
game_the0ry··on Grok 4.5
Its less about the model; elon is trying to make SpaceXAI a hyper scaler that also happens to have a good model. Grok is just the cherry on top of a powerful AI cluster that can also rent compute to its competitors, like aws.
game_the0ry··on Grok 4.5
I have a theory that xAI has one of the largest clusters but with far less traffic + tokens to process bc its less popular than its competition, and xAI can pass the savings on to the end user.
game_the0ry··on How Kalshi Infects the News
Did anyone else think it was strange how fast legitimate news orgs (cnn for example) integrated prediction markets into their businesses?
game_the0ry··on Postgres transactions are a distributed systems superpower
I envy you DB + distributed systems specialists. Reminds me I still have a lot to learn.
game_the0ry··on Claude Science
Disappointing that science came after cowork. Shows how their priorities are for profitability first and help humanity second.

Politicians will never represent you, they will always represent their donors.
game_the0ry··on Zuckerberg's war on whistleblowers
If you don’t have the gumption to delete insta from your iPhone, you’ll never muster the courage for violence.
