Fundamental truths are timeless. AI hasn’t changed what it takes to manage great people youtu.be/f60dheI4ARg

Turns out there are people still paying for Adobe subscription because they need to edit PDFs. Ilovepdf gives you everything you need at 20% of the cost

TIL that Michael Burry, the Big Short Michael Burry, is trained medical doctor

@happyhillers @Wentworth Would you be interested in renting those instead of buying - you get a puzzle, complete, return for someone else to enjoy - at the fraction of the cost?

“productivity is now outrunning comprehension” - a great article on the dopamine effect of AI and why productivity is not translated into value: newsletter.productdriven.com/p/developers-a…

One under appreciated effect of the #Al for coding: it makes engineering work more resilient to interruptions. The gap between meetings is enough to craft instruction for the AI, and when you lose context due to interruption - you can read it back from what you wrote to the agent

If you have tried chess-upgraded.com and found the computer too weak / doing random, illogical moves… well the logs were saying that it fails to execute the search and fallbacks to a random move, but I wasn’t watching the logs 😅 Anyway, it’s fixed now

Intermittent errors (e.g. network and 5xx) are noise in the error tracker. They belong to the metrics. Ideally you want to know if a service you depend is down, and more importantly - to detect if a given request consistently fails while other requests to same service succeed.

#TIL AI agents provide hooks that you can use to run scripts after specific events (e.g. instead of asking the agent to run tests you just run them or even check the coverage of the changes and feed back to the agent) evilmartians.com/chronicles/sto…

I can only repeat myself: Even if AI writes the code… 🤓 Even if AI helps with the design… 👨‍🎨 Creating a good application is still hard work. AI can assist, but you still have to make the decisions, review the work, and shape the final product. This will not go away.

@general_abn My father as a kid, but… I discovered the love to chess after watching queen gambit

“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.”

@Lordweb111 The Queen only appeared in chess in 1500s, before that a much weaker piece (the ferz) that moved only one square diagonally was standing next to the king

@TVanWelsenes Building a chess rpg game where you earn material to build new pieces, and pieces gain experience and get upgrades. Early prototype at chess-upgraded.com

So I did a #chess based game in which you start with only 3 pawns, controlling territory gives you material points to build more pieces, capturing pieces gives experience which allows upgrades, and captured pieces can be rebuild again play online at chess-upgraded.com/chess-rpg

So Claude Code ported chessv from C# to TypeScript so you can play 85 #chess variants in a browser Enjoy github.com/Darhazer/chess…

#chess people, how do you play puzzles? I see a chess puzzle picture, I’d like to recreate the board and have powerful AI play the other side so I can verify I’m forcing checkmate (especially useful with longer plays). Does such thing exist?
