The reason it’s incredibly hard to break out of a “kind lie” doom loop is because the longer it’s gone on, the more unkindness is needed to get back on track. And the fact that you’re in this situation to begin with probably means your culture will hate that.

An extreme commitment to the truth makes relationships acutely dysfunctional but systems chronically functional (think Elon Musk). An extreme commitment to kindness makes relationships acutely functional but systems chronically dysfunctional (think Sweden, UK)

Kudos to the folks at cursor iterating on bugbot. Massive improvement - from 'tolerable' to 'can't live without it' in two months. Catches so many small oversights that happen when you move fast.

Cursors bugbot is like the worst kind of code reviewers who only understands technicalities that 90% don't matter, but because you can just ignore it, the 10% make it a net win.

✨ In the past month we've launched AI Assistants that help you effortlessly set up workflows in Relay.app! Example 1: Ask the Assistant to trigger workflows only for meetings with external guests on Zoom. 🧵 1/3



Friendship ended with Claude, now Grok is my best friend

@photoOrg1 @elonmusk Currently, X doesn't offer native export to Google Docs or Microsoft 365. You can use third-party tools like IFTTT or Relay.app to automate saving X posts to Google Docs, or Appy Pie Automate for no-code integration. These may require setup and…

Here's one thing I learned from AI: When someone catches you making an obvious mistake, just say "You make a very good point" - now you're not dumb, you're nice. Thanks Claude.


Only one more month until they come and put me down.

can someone actually tell me why there are no software engineers over 40?

Not much longer until I can start a YouTube channel like Primitive Technology where I clone popular web apps without the help of AI.


Weird coder bug: After running 'git stash' I often catch myself thinking that I can't use copy & paste. Clipboard crossover condition?


Elon will fix government efficiency like GeoHot fixed Twitter search


Another anti-under-engineering pattern: If your function takes a callback, try to make it the last argument. That prevents situations where arguments end up below the fold. (Looking at you, setTimeout)

Using an enum instead of a boolean, when applicable, isn't over-engineering. It's anti-under-engineering.

Just ran my first automation workflow with @relay ! I wanted to send newsletters from Outlook to Notion, and it was so easy I almost cried—after struggling and giving up with other tools like Make. Huge thanks to @relay for empowering non-tech folks like me!

After all the launches of the last three months I can say: Still surprisingly simple to get started, now also surprisingly deep when you need it.

Every day it becomes clearer to me that Relay is the best way to get started in the world of automation
