A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

Common reasons your scan fails (and how to avoid them): 1. Moving out of frame. 2. Bad lighting. 3. Old tech. 4. Weak Connection. Run Vitals AI successfully: buff.ly/7fdIT6N #VitalsAI #rPPG #rBCG #HealthMarkers #TechTips #AppGuide #WellnessJourney

What are people thinking instead of GitHub? I've hit my limit with it as it halts my team every single day and it's no longer viable for shipping. Can't even add PR comments today. Looking for alternatives for private repos only, open source will remain there for now.

If you’re wondering why your token costs are so high, or you’re hitting limits much quicker than planned.. check tour mcp config. I don’t tend to use them much but I had linear and playwright enabled as an experiment and it was 60k tokens before even sending a message.. 🤯

We tested greptile as a code rabbit replacement and it was shockingly bad, like how are people using this. It's even worse than the built in GitHub copilot reviewer. Missing basic features, wild hallucinations, intern level suggestions, no project context We cancelled our trial after just 2 days 😅

TypeScript excitement 😉 TS 6.0 is planning a bunch of breaking changes to tsconfig options to deprecate some and change the defaults for others. This will simplify configuration and ease the transition to the Go-based TS 7.0 👍 The latest pitch is to enable strict type-checking modes by default 🎉
