Someone asked me if I’m a badass. To which I said: “I sometimes use the mouse on my Claude Code terminal. Just for the hell of it”

Saw this on Friends a while ago and thought: how hard can it be? Turns out, it’s super hard. Especially not American, it took me more than 8 attempts (stupid Maine and Vermont 🙄. Also, I was convinced Cincinnati was a state). I apologize for butchering the names 🫣. It was fun though.

Sheyna Patel developed a hydrogel that removes more than 93% of PET microplastics from water. The material acts like a molecular sponge and could degrade waste using sunlight to help fight environmental pollution.

My pet peeve is everything else going on in that screen. My goodness! Someone discovered a cool animation tool and just went to town 🙆🏾‍♂️

@github.com this makes no sense. I was on Copilot Pro yesterday and Claude Opus was calculating at 7.5x up from 3x previously. I upgraded to Pro+ and now it says 15x? Did I miss a press release or something.

Excellent Khumalo 🇿🇦🇬🇧 @excellent-k.bsky.social · 29/04/2026
For the business, this makes sense. For the me the consumer, it’s too restrictive. I feel like there should be a Pro+ before Max.

Excellent Khumalo 🇿🇦🇬🇧 @excellent-k.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
Been testing out Claude Pro for coding and had to cancel it 4 days in. With these limits, I would be better off using Copilot. 1 good task and I have to wait 3 hours to continue! It feels like you either get Max or a different tool altogether.

Who’s running Kafka on @kubernetes.io in production? What has been your experience and how are you managing it? Strimzi? Or something else… just curious because managed services seem to come with a steep $ overhead. #Kafka #Kubernetes

Slightly random: I read a rather gloom factoid the other day. Apparently the benefits of sleep you missed is never recovered. But I’m sure #reinvent was worth the price 🙂

Yep. Daily. It’s very important to eat your own dog food. Customers won’t always report issues. It’s helps if you’re among the first to experience them.

Last night my phone battery was running low, so I plugged it into my laptop and went to sleep. This morning I wake up, the stupid phone decided to charge the laptop instead. RIP morning alarm ⏰

It’s a privilege to get to build a product that solves your own problems. To truly walk a mile in your customer’s shoes and feel their pain. It’s not always possible, but if you have the chance, be the daily user of your own product. It’s crucial to innovation. #dogfooding #products #saas #startups

Strange how we’ve become accustomed with celebrating #startups for raising funding, but not a peep when they reach milestones that actually matter. When last did you read something like: XyzAI just passed the $100,000 MRR mark?
