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.'

With my G workspace account, I cannot "get a plan" and get redirected to a nonsensical manual page with zero information, but hey, here are 10 steps you need to take to enable this. Outrageous level of customer hostility, but unfortunately a standard for @developers.google.com today.

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).

If you were a foreign agent who had managed to fool Americans into electing you as their president in order to undermine the US, what would you do differently from what Trump is doing?

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 🤷‍♂️

„He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second-class membership.”

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.

Victor Erdogan is my friend, but they did really BAD THING. Winning that 3:2. I have personally stopped 10 wars and a Somali referee from entering the country. We are imposing 250% tariffs on turkey imports from Turkiye and withdrawing forces from Budapest. Thanks for you attention to the matter.

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.

Right, these discussions end up in „EU is not a military block”, and concerns from countries like Poland about the problems the Ukraine’s ascension would cause to their agriculture and some other industries. They’d rather make Ukraine less competitive first and that will take some time :)

You can drive or walk across the borders. There isn’t 6 months requirement generally, but of course depends on the particular countries involved, visa situations etc.

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.

I really want to love @zed.dev, but it drives me crazy that it doesn't allow me to prevent files from opening in specific panels. And a terminal is a panel! I keep opening something on top of it, argh.

*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.

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?

Vitalii Ivanov @manytomany.co · 07/04/2026

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

Vitalii Ivanov @manytomany.co · 25/03/2026

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.

Vitalii Ivanov @manytomany.co · 21/03/2026

I assume you switched off opus because you are on API key. I use subscription for NanoClaw, use Opus and so far so good. There was a controversy with Antropic banning the practice. But haven’t they backtracked on that?

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

To be clear I use Claude Code every day. It is awesome. But it is still important to be wary of what it writes and make sure to review at least the important parts.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

In his last months in power, Yanukovych paid petty thugs, who were later called "tytushki", to harass and attack the legit protesters. Didn't help him. Neither will that help Trump.

Vitalii Ivanov @manytomany.co · 22/01/2026

In reality, of course, it is the authoritarian side that would pay up to organize the counter-protests. Even though there is always some real support for the autocrat, it is very unlikely to self-organize into a large-scale protest. So money or coercion (the "adminresource" we called it) is needed.

These are such hollow, thinly veiled lies that even the dumbest person in a country won't believe them... Unless they choose to. Therefore, I believe a thorough debunking of those lies is a waste of time.
