Hot take - businesses will still choose SaaS products instead of whatever this is
This does not mean all of them are safe. If my team has a Claude sub already - sure, why pay for stuff like Excalidraw+ or Metabase or even Figma
But you're not disrupting fat Google contracts
Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data.
Think a plan through on a board, build a tracker in a sheet, and tell a story with your data.

My Opus was doing dumb shit, when asked about it the response was "yeah it comes from an earlier memory which I created after working around a failed tool call". I remember the shape of that tool call and I had fixed my environment soon after noticing.
Stop using memories.

The "why not Rust" commenters feel so seen rn
As of today @ladybirdbrowser is now a Rust project with some legacy C++ that we'll continue porting over 🤓
We've made incredible progress on concurrency in our engine since adopting Rust. I believe "CSS off the main thread" is a game-changer for browser responsiveness, and we're pushing forward on it!
On the safety side, it feels great to reduce our exposure to all the classic C++ traps, both temporal and spatial. One less (but very large) thing to worry about as we enter the most hostile computing environment mankind has devised: the web...

okay we have this instead
teapaw.org/emilkowalski/status/21…
Here are a few ways to make your app feel faster:
- Use ease-out instead of ease-in for instant feedback
- Keep most UI animations under 300ms
- Use custom easing curves for snappier interactions
- Make your loading spinners spin faster

Can I just say something
We DON’T NEED all those fancy apps for planing trips
and AI labs adding trip planning demos to every goddamn keynote is just lame bro
Has everybody stopped working and started going on trips every week?

This reply basically settles the debate.
Sure, rewrite all of your TS dependencies with Opus. Don’t forget to track CVEs, remember which apply to your vibe coded Tanstack Query replacement and spend >your< tokens every time you need to patch it.
What’s going to happen to open source?
A prediction:
Dependencies are over.
The same Brotli vulnerability impacted .NET, Node, Bun, Envoy and more. Dependencies are too big of a target.
When rewriting a dependency is one prompt away, why take the risk?

A year of Russia's "advances" in the east of Ukraine. No comment. I think their little dick tator will only stop if they lock him up in a mental institution.

Wait, Kotlin/Compose Multiplatform people are still reimplementing parts of iOS UI for Skia? 😦
Have we really not learned anything from Flutter? It’s 2026, people, why are we spending time on this stuff. Big companies posting articles like “agents allowed us to go native” and then you see this ⁉️
Isn’t one platform where we have to deal with the fake UI materials and a11y hacks enough? Leave Flutter alone, it’s a weird creature in the Google zoo. I like it, yes, if I have to write cross-platform widgets I’m sure as hell staying away from the Java land. But it will always be worse than native.
The demo is cool, I’m happy someone is trying. But @imadetheseworks’s version is just better😶🌫️

One prompt for my "OSS tools inspector" Grok bot (worked for 2-3 mins) costs 1% of usage.
So if we count actual tasks for bots it will be roughly 40-60 a week. That's on Premium (not Super or Ultra)

Cool attempt, but I'm wondering - is that the reality we're living in rn? The one where we spend tokens on recreating smth that has been attempted by others before (and gained traction)?
I think the past 3 years have been the rise of open source and its downfall simultaneously.
Before AI subscriptions this was a common pattern:
> hmm, I would love to have this popular <thing> on <platform of choice>
> should I try to build it?
> nah I'll spend like 2 months on it, I have to ship projects at work, spend time with the family, it's too much
> let me find if anyone had the same idea
> oh wow this dude has almost nailed it, still needs some polish, will suggest fixes or file an issue
> everybody wins
> OSS is amazing
Now people are paying $200 for Claude:
> this <thing> is so cool I need it for my next <platform of choice> project
> hey I saw someone posting about it, I can use their thing
> oh, well. it's cool but I really need one missing piece and kinda don't like their approach
> damn I have a lot of tokens left in my sub, I can make Opus build it
> the clanker is done, damn that's nice it even made docs. I gotta publish this
> hey everybody, try my package! worked for me
> the project is dead after 3 months (unless there's monetary incentive / will)
I'm not shaming anybody for forking (@nank1ro 's repo in this case), I think OSS exists to try different approaches and tinker. But don't you get a feeling that people are more & more hesitant to help each other? PRs and issues and hitting someone up in DMs is no longer "fun". It's annoying, slow. We don't like slow. Agents showed us fast. We like fast. And we become more isolated with our agents because of that. "Rebuilt it how I like", "cloned it in 2 hours", "used 1B tokens but now it's in Go"
Or maybe it's just a worldwide surge in adhd? We have dozens of things to focus on, so we think stopping on one of them is a waste of time. And we're spreading thin instead.
"forui" was also built by 2 guys who needed it for their app btw. same logic, I assume

Niche tweet but very on point
I tried Paper, Wonder design and Doop design over the weekend. Here’s my hot take: none of these tools are made for designers.
They are made for AI to design for you. And if you want to design, you do it in Figma and then bring those to these tools and let AI continue.
These apps feel more like rectangle tool with mcp than a design tool. Except rectangle tool, type tool and in some pen tool, that is all you got.
Now, a lot of people swear by these. I honestly feel like those are the first to be replaced fully with Claude or GPT.
I also feel that people like these tools because they give them a false sense of doing so much. You iterate so fast, you produce so fast. But with that much speed quality is what suffers.
That is why on X all we see is the same thing over and over again, same dashboards, same visuals, same styles, same effects. Everyone talk about taste but that is where it ends.
Majority is obsessed with tools, not the design.

Back in late 2024 I found this thing called OpenHands and was so pumped I wanted to make a video about, even made a cover.
I have no idea what that tool is. Or what I wanted to say. “Vibe coding” wasn’t even a phrase then. Feeling old rn
