are we back chat? someone just launched twitter.now after X dropped the brand. claim is basically: → Twitter is reclaimed → not X → early access → "freedom of speech, not reach" → trust signals no idea if this is real or just an internet moment.

i wrote a little something about adoption stonks for models 📈 also, why highest ai benchmarks are great for investors and headlines but devs don't care. companies are spending on ai, but most of it comes from the cheaper models. give it a read ↓ pran.sh/blog/reliab...
pran.sh
Highest AI benchmarks ≠ adoption stonks
Anthropic's most expensive model is stalling at 11% of spend while cheaper models handle the daily workload. The FT piece, and the Hacker News thread under it, say a lot about what developers actually adopt versus what they admire.

I've got a follow up from yesterday! 💡 I wrote about what sets the bar, and realized that if I have shared the problem, I also have to write about how can these projects show receipts. TL;DR | Nobody trust agents because of launch hype. New post → pran.sh/blog/trust-...
pran.sh
Coding agents need receipts, not fans
Teams will not trust coding agents because of launch hype. They will trust them when they can see what the agent handles well, where it fails, and how other engineers use it.

i’ve been noticing a pattern on Launch HN lately: it’s slowly turning into a coding agent directory. every week there’s another agent that opens PRs, fixes issues, plugs into Linear, runs in the background, or “ships like an engineer.”

Conversations from this week 👂 1/ Small-team pain in conversations -- AI speeds up frontend shipping, but creates more tiny UI bugs and designer/dev handoff friction. We're being sold, “AI builds it,” but the opp still lies in tools that keep taste, QA and iteration synced.

MDN's old frontend had: ejected Create React App, a Webpack config nobody wanted to touch, CSS so entangled fixing one component broke others, and dangerouslySetInnerHTML as a core pattern. So the team rebuilt it from scratch. Deep dive worth reading 👀 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/blog/...

Anthropic tested 52 developers learning a new Python library. Half used AI assistance, half coded by hand. The result? AI users scored 17% lower on post-task quizzes. That's nearly two letter grades. The biggest performance gap wasn't in basic recall. It was in debugging.

Lola Odelola's talk asks a simple question: "What do you see?" It's about centering screen-reader users and treating alt-text as a creative medium, not just a compliance task. Accessibility doesn't limit artistry. It expands it for everyone. Worth your time: heypresents.com/talks/what-...

What do you see?
In this talk, Lola explores what it means to deconstruct an image and radically centre screen-reader users, using alt-text as an art space. How can we create an experience for screen-reader users that is just as creative and considered as the sighted experience?

I’ve been playing FIFA since ‘08. Built a startup on top of FIFA 17-19. Sweated through Weekend Leagues. And now… my favorite browser is in the new FIFA. Firefox branding just landed in EA SPORTS FC™ 26 ⚽🧡 Big win for the team, and a personal full-circle moment.
An in-game screenshot from EA SPORTS FC™ 26 shows a football player in a white and green kit taking a corner kick. The stadium is packed with a cheering crowd under a well-lit roof. Prominently visible along the LED perimeter boards around the pitch is the Firefox logo and branding, marking Firefox’s first appearance in a video game. The Firefox logo repeats across the LED boards in front of the audience.
