Interesting video about understanding code at a time when AI is starting to write most of it. youtu.be/WkBPX-oDMnA PR reviewing is not just about correctness but also about building an understanding of your system. Understanding a system enables participation in its creation.

This is not a joke. This is a screenshot of the actual case management software used by Massachusetts' 11 District Attorneys. Must-read work here by @nasser.wiki nasser.blog/dial-up-just...
I am not joking: this is AOL era software. It's got clip art. IDK how it even works on modern computers

Just stumbled upon rtcamp.com and it feels more professional and honest than many internet companies. I’m not associated with them in any way, or in the web publishing business. Just appreciating some quality work.

Wonderfully written article! Captures what we in tech teams experience in our daily lives. @pydantic.dev fyi, the nav bar keep flickering when you scroll on mobile. That can be a bit jarring at times.

Love the theme switcher ! Cool to see they’re not just different colors. Gives the web a more human feel in the age of AI

So good.
Do we throw away our children’s scribbles because they suck? No, we post them on the fridge proudly, because that’s their shitty drawing, that’s their attempt at expressing themselves in this tumultuous world. These cringeworthy words are my cringeworthy words. Your awkward electronic music in Garageband is yours. The quality is not the point. The effort is the point. The effort to achieve some level of quality, some level of resonance in someone else’s heart and mind — that is what’s so embarrassingly, wonderfully, woefully human.

In our limited time alive, we’re all just fallible, feeling beings, reaching out into the void to put our palm print on the cave wall, in hopes that some one else will see it. And isn’t that the real point of it all?

Fascinating website and UX! Love the cool atproto integrations, dynamic theming, and mix of whimsy in the status messages. This is high quality work. Any web company would benefit greatly from having them in their team.

The level of customisability and control that bluesky provides you over your feed is so refreshing, after spending hours trying to appease the YouTube & Instagram algorithms. Love atproto, bluesky, and the efforts of their devs in creating a UX that makes you feel like a free independent human.

Wow. The difference b/w cpu-only inference and gpu powered inference is huge. 100x. Even on a 7 y/o budget gpu. I was hesitant to try it out since it was so old, but glad I did. Grateful for the work people have done to make local llms practical <3

Every once in a while, I come across a song (or part of a song) so good it almost brings me to tears. I’ll add them to this thread.

Refreshing video by Mario Zechner - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjfb... I like the extensibility and idea of simplicity of a product. Should try it pi. Been hearing about it otherwise too. Also a supporter of keeping the clankers in check :P

What’s going on with bluesky’s follower counter ? I only see 2 accounts following me but the counter reads 7 🤔

This is fun! Was happy to get one correct :P

Feels so weird to be hiring for my team, while at the same time, not being able to get interviews for myself with other companies 🥲

Neat ! This was a fun read. Do you think there’s hope for cpu-only inference on Linux desktop? Gemma-4 e2b crashed my llama.cpp server & qwen3.5 couldn’t summarise instructions from a readme file in 15 mins (it went around in circles). My system’s got 8GB of RAM btw.

“What is 2+2” took only 5 mins to answer tho. I wonder why there’s a difference in timing ?

raxstan @raxstan.bsky.social · 06/06/2026
Finally got that working! Although, it’s kinda slow. 15 mins to answer “who are you” :o

Worked around it by cloning the repo and asking my questions within OpenCode :) Pleasantly surprised at the precision of the answer and the speed at which it found them. It’s great! Can’t wait to connect it to llama.cpp and have fully local chats.

raxstan @raxstan.bsky.social · 06/06/2026
Yeah. I can’t believe how easily it crashes :( The very first command I ran, llama serve, aborted with no error messages. Brings back memories of cpp coding (not the good memories).

raxstan @raxstan.bsky.social · 06/06/2026
Is it just me or does llama.cpp not have any usage documentation? The first google search result is also an imposter website - llama-cpp.com What’s going on 🧐

Or are MCP servers an out of date concept now ? I hope not. The idea seems cool, but considering the pace at which new products are released in this domain, one can’t be sure.

I was trying to understand mcp better by experimenting on my desktop. Searched for an SQLite mcp server. But there doesn’t seem to be any “official” one or even any popular ones. Is there a better way to discover good & safe mcp servers than auditing the source code myself ? #mcp

On that note, it’s also harder to find good websites with opinions from real people via search engines nowadays. S/O posts are ~15 yrs old, “blogs” have generic surface level advice. Found a good thread on @linusmediagroup.com finally. Neat website.

Found it interesting that even after all these years, ext4 seems to be the recommendation for new filesystems on Linux desktop. I was researching and expected btrfs or something, but was surprised by the general opinion.

I can’t deal with this 🥲 My team fixed a bug in our app. Then for some reason, added a feature flag for the bugfix and introduced a new bug 😭

Throughout my career, I realize more and more that having good teammates and a good manager is a top priority. You learn so much and your workdays just become happier.

Is there no "bookmark" feature here? Also, do we have a catchy name for posts?

Starter packs are a great feature! Exactly what I was looking for in a social media site. Was able to easily find some interesting folks to follow
