Ask an agent to build a color system and watch it invent random hex values. Rampa is a toolkit with the actual primitives they need. Contrast ratios, harmonies, accessible ramps. All mathematical formulas built in. Color systems as JS SDK and CLI:

I wanted to say a huge thank you to the @GitHub and the GitHub Universe team. They do a good job and they care. I have a good BS detector. Obviously they invite people to win them over (the swag was amazing). I got a good amount of time to chat with @Vlad_GitHub and @kdaigle and I was really impressed with their passion. I had time to ask questions and my question was typically, "hey you guys kinda suck." Obviously that's nonproductive, but they gave me the time of day and listened. I want GitHub to succeed, I want everyone too. They have an extremely complicated business and they straddle industries that are diametrically opposed culturally. I'm still gonna complain nonstop about Copilot (and CI in general just ruins my day), but these guys aren't the enemy.

1/ Esta mañana me dio por pensar cuánto me costaría montar una app para monitorizar los trenes de Renfe. Resulta que la posición GPS de cada tren es pública. 3-4 horas después, estaba funcionando 👇

I built a notes app inspired by the 80s, when software felt simple and snappy. It launches in 2.6ms. I've taken notes for 10+ years, first in VS Code, then Obsidian. Sometimes I just want to jot down a thought and get back to work. Here's Noted: noted.computer 🧵

we really need a new kind of interaction with computers
We were going to build a smart pen prototype, then @shensitivity just bought one off-the-shelf + used Codex to decompile + integrate it into our software system And it's so smooth

You don’t need a camera at all, just a smarter pen: nitter.cf/basiclines/status/2100…
Lately I’ve been learning math with ChatGPT (Astra) as my tutor, using this document scanning camera and a vibecoded tool that pastes the captured image right into the chat. This way, I just work problems on paper and ChatGPT gives feedback. It’s really nice.

Stop. Think. Prompt. Taking a step back and rethinking what’s taken for granted it’s a super power
small update to the sessions menu in the GitHub Copilot app 💫 worked with @gimenete to make it all a little calmer 〜

Specific problems tend to optimize over time to the same solutions, because that’s the optimal path to solve them To innovate you either: - make it 10x affordable - make it 10x faster - or solve a novel problem
