Honestly, the biggest surprise to me is that I rather assumed once one fascist ran a country into a ditch - as Putin has done, as Trump is doing - the rest of the developed world would see that and recoil, but it turns out every country is thinking, 'maybe our fascists are just Built Different.'

The Google coding agent is a bit of a mess. They had Gemini CLI, which has apparently been replaced with Antigravity. The installation path they offer is stupid (why not brew?). The pricing page makes no sense (and has no prices).

I remember MAGA saying that russian war of aggressions European concern because US should focus and commit to Pacific in order to counter China. Trump came, spent the military supplies on his stupid war in the Middle East, and now withdraws from the Pacific 🤷‍♂️

AI coding agents require babysitting. Some devs who do the babysitting need babysitting as well. Babysitting the babysitters doesn't make much sense. Those who need it will be out of a job soon.

I am paying @dropbox.com 160 EUR a year, literally just to sign a document every now and then (use maybe 1% of the storage). Last time I signed anything was 8 months ago. I had to sign 3 docs today and had to redo all of them because of the error. And I get this. Will cancel. Thanks for reminding.

I am generally ok with VAR millimeters deciding offsides or lines crossing, which make a lot of people angry. With this one though I think we should not go crazy. Doesn’t matter for a match outcome. If it isn’t CLEARLY an own goal then it is not. www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba...

Thing about Claude that it is actually pretty bad at TypeScript typings. The generated code is a spaghetti of any, never, uknown and duplicates whenever there is anything remotely complex.

*Sighs* Is there a good code editor? Cursor/VSCode are overbloated as hell to a point of being unusable. Every week they invent another cool way to work with agents and make everything worse.

Alright, Claude Code extra usage is expensive enough to justify having multiple subscription accounts and rotating between them.

Vitalii Ivanov @manytomany.co · 16/04/2026

Hard to prove, but it feels like when I enabled extra usage for Claude Code, I hit the limits faster (and pay for overuse). Is there a meaningful dashboard somewhere?

Same. Not ready to concede creativity though, but I also certainly lack something. Courage perhaps.

When working with code (writing or reading), I prefer a light scheme; in the terminal, I prefer a dark one. Cannot do anything about it. My brain revolts any time I try to switch to one or another.

Coding agents are already better at coding than many devs I know. They still lack a higher-level understanding of the project, business goals, architecture etc, and also discipline and attention, though. I know devs who also lack those. They should be worried.

Ukraine is holding back Russia and thus fulfilling the entire traditional mission of NATO without any soldiers or sailors from other countries. Trump is meanwhile demanding NATO allies leave the continent they are supposed to be defending to join him in a doomed adventure he chose in the Middle East

I am closely following Trump's authoritarian takeover attempts in the USA, and it strikes me how literally EVERYTHING they are doing or trying to do I have already seen in Ukraine during my generation's fight for democracy. In particular, let's talk about the "paid agitators" claim.

So Hitler's position in 1940/1941 is not a good position ruined by foolish decisions, but in fact a deceptively weak position that is almost certainly doomed, leading to insane gambles that only make it worse. The catastrophic mistake was having a war, a result of the worse mistake of being a Nazi.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins. It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia. The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

An aspiring fascist, who is quickly losing support at home, says “Ukraine should hold elections” even though the Constitution directly forbids that at time of war. Mumbles something about “democracy”, the very thing he works to undermine at home.

I love ClickUp, but it has a lot of minor bugs. If only half of them could be fixed, I would be so happy. And just a few really small improvements to time reporting, while we are on it. But even now, I believe it is the best project management tool out there.
