Tired of LLM writing outdated code? Here’s my fix: I use Context7: context7.com/vercel/next.... to grab clean, version-specific snippets from current docs. Paste them at the top of my Cursor prompt. Now AI stops guessing and starts reasoning with fresh info. #devtools #ai #coding #llm

@dannypops.bsky.social Hi, I'm looking for speaker recommendations for my home office. I hate to say it, but I am inclined towards a Bose SoundLink Home (says new) as it looks really good. I want to use it primarily for background music. I just want something that sounds pleasant and clear.

@davidpierce.xyz @reckless.bsky.social It would help consumers a lot if we start referring to Apple and Google services as vendor lock in instead of making cute and calling it ecosystem. I hate that nonsense apple headphones don't work well with their phones. 🥺 #vendorlockin
