Sad to hear that Patrick Steward has passed. We started watching TNG this week again, and it reminds me of time sat with my pop watching Star Trek

I can highly recommend Tim for your team if you are hiring a 'Vibe Rater'
I've decided it's time to change careers, I'll now be reviewing and scoring vibe coded applications, projects, githubs, etc. I'll be a Vibe Rater, I think it's likely to be very popular and cause a buzz but let me know if you have any experience with this

Eighteen years ago I held you in my arms for the very first time. Tiny, fragile, and already the centre of my world. Today my heart is still just as full. From that first quiet moment to this proud day, every year has been a gift.

Ever watched an AI agent lose the plot halfway through a task? In the first Dev Mode episode of NerdOut@Spotify, JD, shows how he splits the work across a bunch of agent sessions in Xirp by @Spotify instead. Live demo, our own repos, no slides. Check out the episode: hubs.li/Q04B2D310

"Just start over with another agent." No. Xirp transfers full session context when you switch. @claudeai to @OpenAI Codex, mid-task, nothing lost. Try now hubs.ly/Q04y2K3N0

You asked for more model choice. Here it is. ✨ Xirp by @Spotify now supports @Pidotdev, an open-source coding agent with access to a broad range of models, right inside the workflow you already know. Give it a try: hubs.li/Q04xx2rY0

The curse of discipline is that everyday looks the same. The curse of indiscipline is that every year does.

Built this new screenshot feature in #Xirp upload it, and let your coding agent figure out what's wrong. works alongside paste and drag and drop. No more copy pasting stack traces, just show it what you see. xirp.spotify.com/

Every AI agent session starts from scratch scanning, guessing, relearning things your org already knows. You're paying for that orientation loop every single time. We measured the hidden tax at Spotify and then we fixed it. Here's how hubs.li/Q04x2SLp0

One prompt. The agent pulls Portal context before it touches the codebase 🎯 🔗 Service ownership. Dependencies. Architecture. All there before the first response. No exploring. No guessing. The context came to the agent. 🚀 Portal workspace → Xirp session → grounded immediately. hubs.li/Q04wYYnf0 Try it → hubs.li/Q04wYYmX0

Success that only benefits you isn't success, it's just access. Real DevRel impact isn't the stage you got invited to, it's who you pull up next to you on it. Not how high you climb. How many rise because of how you led. The best rooms are built by people who made room.
