Moroccan hospitality ✨
In Morocco, our hotel sent someone to escort us through airport immigration and help with bags. A nice touch I've always loved these Bentley Bentaygas. I imagined that one day I'd get one, so it was shocking that THIS was the hotel car they sent (~$300k car) The interior was beautiful. But after sitting in it for a few minutes...I realized it's just a car. Very nice and I'm glad I had the chance to ride in one, but I'm fine never owning one of these in my life

Does it mean the end for all the voice note taking tools 🤔
Mar 3
Voice mode is rolling out now in Claude Code. It’s live for ~5% of users today, and will be ramping through the coming weeks. You'll see a note on the welcome screen once you have access. /voice to toggle it on!

Love it when community notes correct Elon Musk
WhatsApp is not secure. Even Signal is questionable. Use 𝕏 Chat.
Community note
Misleading – X Chat offers e2e encryption but lacks forward secrecy: key compromise exposes all past messages. Private keys are controlled by X, protected only by a 4-digit PIN. Metadata is collected. Signal provides forward secrecy, device-only keys, and minimal metadata. help.x.com/en/using-x/abo… github.com/trailofbits/pu…

Writing code by hand used to be where we found clarity. Now, AI generates code at lightning speed. If your thinking isn't clear, you will spend your day debugging AI hallucinations instead of solving actual problems. Clear intent is the bigger bottleneck now.

I firmly believe that after all this AI-hype, senior devs would have more work to make AI-generated code more stable and less noisy. And when the AI investment start cooling down, all these AI companies will start looking for profitability which will increase the tools prices.

Étrange ce qui se trame à 48h de la finale... 🧐 Annoncer l'arrivée de l'équipe puis dénoncer l'insécurité due à la foule... c'est contradictoire. Peu importe l'issue, cette CAN🇲🇦 marquera un vrai tournant historique. Rien ne sera plus comme avant sur tous le plans #CAN2025

Major shift is happening now on OSS because of AI agents...
All my new code will be closed-source from now on. I've contributed millions of lines of carefully written OSS code over the past decade, spent thousands of hours helping other people. If you want to use my libraries (1M downloads/month) in the future, you have to pay. I made good money funneling people through my OSS and being recognized as expert in several fields. This was entirely based on HUMANS knowing and seeing me by USING and INTERACTING with my code. No humans will ever read my docs again when coding agents do it in seconds. Nobody will even know it's me who built it. Look at Tailwind: 75 million downloads/month, more popular than ever, revenue down 80%, docs traffic down 40%, 75% of engineering team laid off. Someone submitted a PR to add LLM-optimized docs and Wathan had to decline - optimizing for agents accelerates his business's death. He's being asked to build the infrastructure for his own obsolescence. Two of the most common OSS business models: - Open Core: Give away the library, sell premium once you reach critical mass (Tailwind UI, Prisma Accelerate, Supabase Cloud...) - Expertise Moat: Be THE expert in your library - consulting gigs, speaking, higher salary Tailwind just proved the first one is dying. Agents bypass the documentation funnel. They don't see your premium tier. Every project relying on docs-to-premium conversion will face the same pressure: Prisma, Drizzle, MikroORM, Strapi, and many more. The core insight: OSS monetization was always about attention. Human eyeballs on your docs, brand, expertise. That attention has literally moved into attention layers. Your docs trained the models that now make visiting you unnecessary. Human attention paid. Artificial attention doesn't. Some OSS will keep going - wealthy devs doing it for fun or education. That's not a system, that's charity. Most popular OSS runs on economic incentives. Destroy them, they stop playing. Why go closed-source? When the monetization funnel is broken, you move payment to the only point that still exists: access. OSS gave away access hoping to monetize attention downstream. Agents broke downstream. Closed-source gates access directly. The final irony: OSS trained the models now killing it. We built our own replacement. My prediction: a new marketplace emerges, built for agents. Want your agent to use Tailwind? Prisma? Pay per access. Libraries become APIs with meters. The old model: free code -> human attention -> monetization. The new model: pay at the gate or your agent doesn't get in.

Just upgraded to the Logitech MX Master 4 and the first thing I noticed? A laggy scroll wheel. Luckily, Reddit came to the rescue with a fix. It’s wild that a “high-quality” product comes with such a default settings. reddit.com/r/logitech/commen…

That’s sick 🔥
I was inspired by this so I wanted to see if Claude Code can get into my Lutron home automation system. - it found my Lutron controllers on the local wifi network - checked for open ports, connected, got some metadata and identified the devices and their firmware - searched the internet, found the pdf for my system - instructed me on what button to press to pair and get the certificates - it connected to the system and found all the home devices (lights, shades, HVAC temperature control, motion sensors etc.) - it turned on and off my kitchen lights to check that things are working (lol!) I am now vibe coding the home automation master command center, the potential is 🔥.And I'm throwing away the crappy, janky, slow Lutron iOS app I've been using so far. Insanely fun :D :D
