Okay so I logged into twitter today, and we are back.... probably not for long,
but we are for now. Claude Code source leaked, the tweets are great. [[
thoughts-956 ]], [[ thoughts-958 ]], [[ thoughts-959 ]], Some typescript css
text layout with bouncing balls, bubbles, strings, and webcam video to text is
blowing up [[ thoughts-957 ]]. This is the tech twitter I remember no sad news
how the world is corrupt by the other side.

Did you know you can replace the spinning verbs in Claude Code. I'm having fun with it. https://t.co/NlgOGwZCcK

Social Media is dead
Social Media is dead, interest media killed it long ago. I no longer feel like
I'm connecting to people, creating community, having fun, learning. I feel
like I'm being shoveled slop from the slop machine, I'm sure mostly create by
well intentioned people just trying to make it in the world, trying to make
their mark, trying to make something of themselves. The algos long lost the
idea of subs and likes, and transitioned to how long you will pause on a topic.
What used to be a series of recognizable faces, names, avatars, each with their
own personality that I could come to learn and know who was just trollin, who
was serious, is now mostly unrecognizable. Platforms have changed and
fractured communities people went separate ways, not all the same ways. No one
community is like it used to be, and its hard to find.

EDC # [1]
I try to keep a pretty light every day carry, but it never works out, keyfobs
and headphone cases end up causing more bulk than I’d like, but My EDC is no
where near the bulk I had as a kid with my cargo pants decked out with
everything I could possibly need.
I hold no attachment to anything in my EDC. Nothing on my person has
sentimental value. Anything I carry can be lost, stolen, or destroyed at any
point in time. I pick things of sufficient usable, utilitarian, quality
sufficient to work. No extra fluff.

Where Is The Tech Industry Going
Agents suck
Get left behind if you don't use them
Burn out if you use them too much
The software world has been flipped upside down seemingly overnight. Slow at
first, then all at once. It started with auto complete, to chat, to, ide
integrations, to agents that would f&!^ over your repo more than it would help.
Up till this point we are just little bit better and more specific than copy
paste from Stack Overflow. Then in Nov 2025 models learned how to effectively
use tools and do what you ask of them, sometimes more, sometimes less, but
generally for the basic shit most of us make its a net positive with each
iteration.
Our techniques for managing work need to change.
Our expectations need to change.
Burnout for a lot of folks is coming.
Is Compaction The Issue
I saw today in work chat something along the lines of "we need bigger context
windows" "compaction times are holding us back". Maybe I'm just blessed with
the lack of lord jira, maybe juggle too many projects at once and they are all
pretty much done when I get back. Maybe I do more long running specs and spend
time making good plans that it does not matter.
Anyways the point I'm getting to is that if you think that compaction is your
main issue slowing you down, and 10x this if you are a manager thinking this is
what is slowing down your team you **need** to look at your workflow. Not
because it sucks. Not only because it could be better. Because you are
signing yourself and your team up for burnout if you are sitting there watching
these things run like waiting for paint to dry and firing more prompts at them
as soon as they are done. It feels easy. It feels like you are going fast.
Its eating more brainpower than you think, and its not getting you to your
destination any faster.

We f&#ing said @pype [2], well f&#ing said. I think a lot of us are feeling this, we’ve pitched our brain into a bucket and we are no longer stretching it in the same way. We still work in similar ways of old, with new ways of turning off and saying yes a bunch of times. the best thing I can hope for is that as things get better we have fewer yes loops, and more architectural design debates and deep thoughts. But I fear deep thoughts are gone to the way of “research the leading 10 frameworks and pick the best one for this project.” and letting the clankers do the deep thinking. Its signing us up for a weird distopia.
I think a lot of us wish we could undo what has happened and go back to actually understanding what we are doing, but the world has changed, and if you are building average shit, like the average person, using models trained on average people doing average shit you cant keep up anymore.

I’m in step with @pype [2] here, I really want beads to work for me, but my systems for infra/platform work are all over the place, not one repo. I’m considering trying the BEADS_DIR env var but idk if it fits my workflow. For now, similar to @pype [2], I am rocking my own home vibed solution that I’ve intentionally put little effort in and its working great and I expect it to be broken and not working with the latest harnesses and models within a few months anyways, cause there is no predicting this train.

paynepride dot com outage on vacation | Nic Payne

pype.dev [1]
oof, outage on the homelab [2] during vacation, brutal. I can think of a couple of similar solutions to what @pype [3] has done to tailscale in, but I’m not sure that I could do this remotely. On one hand I’m so glad that cloudflared just takes care of certs on the other hand this really brings a gap in my understanding of what the heck I would do if it were broken.
An untested DR plan is not a DR plan.
An untested backup does not exist.
