Creator of Sqlite on pull requests: "You say, oh, it's free. No. It's not free. What you're doing is asking me ... to maintain it for you, to to document it for you, to test it for you, to maintain it for you for the next 25 years. That's not free." Yep.
Wise words from a wiser man than me. I've told people for the past decade and I have recent posts on here saying the same: the merge button is the easy part. Its the decade+ (Richard says 25 years) that follows where you've accepted the transfer of maintenance thats hard.

Being part of the staff of #ReactParis from @BeJS_ this year was amazing!
So good to see all that energy flowing in the room; I'm really happy for all the friends I've seen and can't wait for the next one!

Prof. Donald Knuth opened his new paper with "Shock! Shock!"
Claude Opus 4.6 had just solved an open problem he'd been working on for weeks — a graph decomposition conjecture from The Art of Computer Programming.
He named the paper "Claude's Cycles."
31 explorations. ~1 hour. Knuth read the output, wrote the formal proof, and closed with: "It seems I'll have to revise my opinions about generative AI one of these days."
The man who wrote the bible of computer science just said that. In a paper named after an AI.

ok so everyone's noticing that 4.6 keeps trying to take the easy way out yeah?
- the cleanest approach is to...
- since this would be a major rewrite I'll instead...
- we can revisit in a future PR...
and the replies! "Clean." "Done." "If you say so." mf you work for me!!!

AI users are working longer because, for the first time, our tools can finally keep pace with our imagination.
But speed doesn't matter if you lack a destination.
When output is cheap, your greatest leverage isn't how much you build, but the taste to know what is worth building - and the rest required to see the difference.

Algolia Search has always been blazing fast, but with the introduction of #NeuralSearch, we faced a new set of challenges to maintain unparalleled performance.

I wrote up a little case study on an issue I ran into while working on @dinerojs with @frontstuff_io. Initially I couldn’t find good information on optional genetics in TypeScript, so I thought documenting the solution we found was important.

ALT a Venn diagram showing things that are actually slowing down development teams (constant reprioritizing, burnout, pointless meetings, technical debt, generating subtle devastating bugs) - and things that an AI coding assistant speeds up (generating subtle devastating bugs, googling boilerplate code). The intersection is generating subtle devastating bugs
