Agents can sure write code, but a good UX still takes so much effort.

Exactly how I'll feel once I get my Rex invite ✨

After being on the waitlist for ~15 years, we got the call and are Lakers season ticket holders. My wife and I have been a huge Lakers fans our whole lives. Season tickets were always a dream. My wife and I felt really lucky at the opener last night. ❤️ The seats are alright. 😜

@github UI is white-screening on scroll, taking 4-5seconds to register clicks, and eating up 1.2GB of RAM smh

Trying out Herdr has got me even more excited to try out @superlogical’s Rex. While I like a lot of the features of Rex the UX is hurt by it being purely a TUI. It reimplements tabs and splits but with more awkward key bindings and you lose per split-font-sizes

No joke @superlogical updates are what keep me coming back to Twitter

Replying to @laravel
@laravel boost is great but some package skills are meh: hundreds of lines long, repeating laravel conventions, assuming other packages are installed, etc. This is wasteful at best and straight up detrimental when conventions are not followed or the package's not installed

I’ve been toying with @odinlang to make a little game engine. I’m still getting my bearings, but really enjoying how some of the syntax for type-based control flows My first attempt with a switch felt overly verbose but the second (which I don’t know the name of) is super clean

I suspect @superlogical will solve this problem

I have been playing with using @opencode as a mentor. I’m a web dev learning to make games with @odinlang so I’m pretty out of my depths. New language, new architectures, unfamiliar api, etc. But I’m here to learn, not be productive.

My AGENT.md instructs OpenCode to NEVER write to my repo or even give me code snippets as suggestions. Instead, it asks Socratic questions and offers keywords to look up in the Odin docs.

@pestphp --tia should really warn you if xdebug isn't enabled

@SageThalcos I played "Beyond the Vale of Madness" on the weekend and it was a ton of fun! So much so that I decided to make a "Choose Your Own Adventure" app. It lets you both edit and play the games. It's pretty rough, but hopefully you get the idea. one-shot-ten.vercel.app/

@joemasilotti I have a Rails app that let's users upload large videos (1 hour / 3GB). It works fine on a Desktop browser, but on mobile it's super flaky. Half the time, after selecting the video on the media picker, the process is cancelled randomly or when the screen dims.

This entire thread is why programmers should take a design course or two. APIs are UIs The same design principles that apply to building a good onboarding form apply to building a good API.

Replying to @nullakan @trusktr @0xglitchbyte @ryanwinchester @BHolmesDev
You’re missing the point here. This entire conversation is about why it’s surprising that the API is confusing. It’s confusing because it breaks the conventional definition of the word “in” when applied to lists.

You can judge a business book by the number of times it starts a chapter with anecdotes

Hey @palkan_tula! Loving the new book so far. I got the Apple Books version. One note is the code blocks are kinda messed up. Not sure if you can contact someone about fixing them
