Luc Perkins @lucperkins.dev · 11/09/2026Hard to explain how weird Threads is. For some reason, maybe purely aesthetic, every post just *seems* fake. An obviously not-fake Threads post by a personal friend somehow feels faker than an obviously fake tweet. Cursed platform. 201
Luc Perkins @lucperkins.dev · 05/09/2026Thing we're going to have to reckon with: LLMs bring massive productivity gains in software, and if you're a solo dev, the gains can potentially redound directly back onto you, whereas if you're salaried and working for someone else, the gains simply turn into the new baseline expectation. 061
Luc Perkins @lucperkins.dev · 04/09/2026Hardly a revelatory insight but Nowadays™️ you really can just do things. Have always disliked both Google Slides and the Markdown-based JS-y slide things I’ve encountered so today I just made one in about 20 minutes. And it’s spot on for my needs and I look forward to creating slides now. 120

Luc Perkins @lucperkins.dev · 29/08/2026Prediction: within one calendar year, the scientific (and especially medical) benefits of AI will be so unmistakably clear that the groupthink-y anti-AI discourse will quietly taper off 000
Luc Perkins @lucperkins.dev · 28/08/2026Arguably the most important muscle to develop working in software in the age of LLMs is the "naw, we probably shouldn't" muscle. And it's really hard to do when code is ~free. 000

Reposted by Luc PerkinsKeith @mosheroperandi.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Here is a simple trick for evaluating takes, or honing your own, that I've been meaning to formalize: try replacing "AI" or "datacenter" with "computer" (or "software") and see how it sounds. Does it still hold up, our does it sound wrong or too broad to be coherent? 3194
