1/ AI is about to create more software builders in the next 6 months than the last 50 years combined. Today we announced the biggest move in @MLHacks' 12-year history: we've acquired @ThePracticalDev. dev.to/mlh/the-future-of-sof…

DevRelCon returns to New York this July. Dev-facing teams are being pushed to become more systematic, more accountable, and more AI-aware. That’s what this year is about: dev GTM, DevRel ROI, agentic coding, docs, education, and community. July 22–23. nyc.devrelcon.dev

i have seen enough proof now that using a coding agent is a deep skill it's confusing because the people you see heavily using them produce horrible results but that's because it's a skill! you can get better and the ceiling seems pretty high - this is very exciting to me

Watching the Twitterverse oscillate between which AI models everyone is glazing each week is my favorite new type of entertainment

the biggest bottleneck in tech and science right now isn't a lack of tools, it's a massive capability overhang, and it's the most important thing anyone could be working on right now imho devs, scientists, roboticists, data analysts, etc. have access to wildly powerful AI toolchains, but most folks are still stuck in 1:1 chat windows instead of wiring up automations if you want to make an impact right now, bridge this gap: teach people how to actually drive these things, or build the ambient tooling that just does the work in the background without them even having to explicitly ask we've got to help bring people along and send a ladder back down, not leave them behind ♥️

Say hello to Gemini Spark, your dedicated agent through the @GeminiApp! It runs on a dedicated virtual machine, can be fully connected to all of your Google info, and is paired with an awesome new UI in the mobile and web app, it looks and feels awesome! x.com/i/status/2056791134295…

Welcome to Gemini 3.5 Flash, our most powerful model to date. It pushes the frontier of intelligence, speed, and cost putting 3.5 Flash in a class of its own. We spent the last 6 months making sure Flash is great for real world use cases. It's available everywhere now!

That is an UNBELIEVABLE WIN for the Mets. Wow. Benge 2 walks offs in the same week. Mets take 2 of 3 from the Yankees. 5 comeback wins this week. 5-1 homestand. Mets are now 6 games under .500 with 4 games ahead against the Nats. If this week doesn't get them turning the season around...idk what will. #LGM

Mets are now 4-0 on Bark at the Park nights this season

One man’s trash is an AI’s treasure! 🗑️✨ StreetSweep AI uses public traffic cams and the Gemini API to detect urban litter and rank it by severity. It’s a smart-city dashboard designed to help officials clean up our streets more efficiently.

This makes me sick and want to move my kids out of SF. Not because it’s too expensive. But because tech striver culture is so warped, I worry it’s unhealthy for them to be around. By any objective measure this is not “broke,” not even in SF (ELEVEN MILLION PRE TAX!!!! 3M house! Chunky nest egg! An email job that lets you pay for private school AND a f/t nanny!) This is not a “996 and camping” lifestyle. This is a “we’re taking the kids to Japan for 2 weeks with the au pair” lifestyle. It’s not the expense that keeps people trapped, it’s the mindset. There will always be someone with more. The only way you can be truly poor is being unable to see your blessings for what they are and let someone else decide what is and isn’t “enough.”

Slouching at your desk? Tachigurasu is here to judge you. 👾 Built by Jieruei Chang and Alexander Liang, this 3D-printed companion uses ML models to monitor posture. Slouch too long and it dies. Guilt-driven ergonomics at its finest! devpost.com/software/tachigu…

Has anyone else consciously made their own writing (emails, etc) slightly worse, to communicate that it's written by a human rather than AI?

Meet Project Dristi: A $1000 smart cane reimagined for under $100! Built by a talented hackathon team, it uses Raspberry Pi & ultrasonic sensors for haptic obstacle detection, plus an app with voice assistance and live GPS tracking. Check out the build: devpost.com/software/project…

@devrelcon is coming! Ticket prices rices increase on May 1. Grab your ticket at devrelcon.dev before TOMORROW, May 1st at 11:59 PM ET. Plus you can an extra $50 off with the code EARLYFIFTY. See you July 22 and 23 in Brooklyn. 👋

The Mets are 3-0 on Bark in the Park nights.

Struggle with public speaking? Fluency Lab by @lightbenstone, Ariel Vainer, & Sharisse Ji is an AI coach that helps you beat anxiety! ✅ @ElevenLabs for filler word detection ✅ @GeminiApp API for tone & fluency analysis ✅ @Vultr for video processing devpost.com/software/fluency…

Posting like this while defunding the forest and national park service is such bullshit, man

Exactly. AI is an amazing tool for those already experts in a domain and makes a massive difference already. It also gives a false sense of confidence when you nothing about a domain - and v easy to get stuck

We raised a Series A for exe.dev. We are going to build a new cloud. blog.exe.dev/series-a
