The neglect and turmoil this franchise has endured over 30 YEARS is just insane.

Frontier models straight up cannot write complex, inference-heavy TypeScript types. This so far has been the only webdev usecase where every model I've tried sucks badly.


Wild to me how normalised memory leaks and crashes are in modern AAA gaming — even on consoles (which in the past was unthinkable!)

Borderlands 4 performance gets worse the longer you play on console. Gearbox chief Randy Pitchford has suggested quitting the game and restarting as a workaround. bit.ly/4mk5kvm

Fave local quiet cafe went viral on TikTok. Pride and smugness soon replaced by creeping dread.

Kills me how much LLMs loooove useState, useEffect, barrel files, `npm`, relative imports.


Feature-based file colocation / domain modules are peak code organisation. A shame that modern JS frameworks (Next, Expo, Tanstack, Adonis, etc.) still fumble this in 2025.


Damn @cluely’s marketing team really is cracked

Coldplay's Chris Martin accidentally exposes astronomer CEO Andy Byron having an affair with his HR chief Kristin Cabot.



Anyone have any innovative techniques/MCPs/workflows for keeping code quality high? I have a pretty elite rules setup, but as we all know this is a lossy process and adherence gets spotty for large conversations.

Insane thread, literally dozens of founders who say they had hired/were interviewing/were EMPLOYING him. Overemployment World Champ 2025.

PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.



So Fly's dashboard/deploys have been down for over 30 minutes at this point, with no public acknowledgement and absolutely nothing on their status page. This isn't how you build trust in a platform :( @flydotio

Guy complains about Linear (a rare sight). The replies are immediately FILLED with Linear employees who scramble to understand. One Linear eng starts hotfixing stuff straight away. Honestly this is just so impressive to me.

linear has gotten ridiculously annoying to use. Is this just the nature of things???
