Yes I did š
Codiff is soo good, but I do a lot of back and forth between my Mac and Fedora KDE. I first thought about forking it and adding Linux support, but I also really missed GitHub Pull Requestsā diff/review UX for leaving feedback to both colleagues and agents.
So I pointed my clanker at your repo + GitHub Pull Requests and ended up with this š
Been using it myself for about a month before open sourcing it. Definitely still AI slop and nowhere near as polished as Codiff yet though!
A big thank you to @cnakazawa for creating Codiff (github.com/nkzw-tech/codiff), and the people behind GitHub's Pull Requests extension for VS Code (github.com/microsoft/vscode-ā¦)
Both inspired this project!
Open sourcing vsdiff: a tool my coding agents built to help me review their work.
Iām not reading every line of code agents write anymore, but I still want to stay in the loop.
vsdiff gives you a walkthrough of the changes, then lets you skim the diff and leave feedback right beside the code.
Works in VS Code or the browser.

oh what a curse to my fellow brothers!
he might speak english but never an englishman,
might write and speak chinese but never truly accepted as chineseman,
perfect indonesian and maybe an impeccable javanese, but still get told to go back to a country he's never lived in.

Only start up if you have no other choice.
Six years ago, when I returned to Finland from San Francisco, I started working out of Maria 01, the largest startup hub in the Nordics.
Coming from the intense Bay Area scene, I was surprised by how relaxed everyone was. These companies had little to no funding, or maybe a couple years of runway at best. But every Monday, people would show up around 10, spend ages chatting about their weekends over coffee, and head out early for lunch. By 5 p.m., I'd be the only one left in the office.
At first, I figured it was culture shock. Finland is known for its strong work-life balance. Shorter hours, plenty of vacation, and a focus on well-being rather than grinding yourself down. But the more I thought about it, the more it puzzled me: Why weren't these teams working harder? They were on the edge, with limited resources and time. Shouldn't that trigger a survival mode of late nights and total focus?
Looking back at co-founding Linear, the difference was stark. In those first years, I was working nonstop. Not because I was pushing myself through willpower, but because I loved every part of it. Working on the underlying tech stack and sync engine, it was all I wanted to do. There wasn't anything else I'd rather spend my time on. Weekends just blended into the work. I felt I was working on something big that would change the way software gets created if we ever succeeded, and that consumed all of my attention.
That level of focus wasn't the only reason we succeeded, nor can it be sustained. Team, timing, and luck all mattered too. But it was a big one. We pulled together a strong product through raw dedication in the early days when everything was make-or-break.
So yeah: only start up if you have no other choice, because you are fully drawn into it. Identifying a market opportunity or need isn't good enough. You need to feel like there's nothing else in the world you'd rather do. As Elon Musk put it, āIf you need encouragement to start a company, donāt do it.ā It's needs to be something that consumes you. If it doesn't, cards are stacked against you in a game that you're already loosing 9 out of 10 times with default odds.

Repost or comment āSpeechifyā to get Voice Typing for free for 3 months
@SpeechifyAI has over 1 million five star reviews across platforms, and dozens of high quality features: Today, we are launching a feature I've been pushing for over 7 years and is finally going live to production (I've been using it internally for more than 4 years) Speechify Voice Typing in our Chrome Extension!
You can download the Speechify Chrome Extension, start talking casually, and let Speechify type for you across Google Docs, Gmail, and anywhere else you write. No matter how fast you type you can get a 2-4x lift in typing speed this way just click the button or keyboard shortcut.
It also polishes your writing for you.
Weāre also launching the ability to Talk to Speechify super fast about any website!
Speechify is like your own personal assistant who has already read everything you see and can answer your questions as you talk.
You can ask Speechify for advice on how to respond to emails for work, to quiz you on a school reading, and to summarize key takeaways from an article without having to read the whole thing.
Over the last year, Speechify has evolved into your go-to Voice AI Assistant.
As an applied Al research lab that's the largest consumer Voice Al company in the Apple, Google Chrome, and Android App Stores, weāve doubled down on more ways to be useful to our users.
Speechify now reads anything out loud to you, creates hyper-personalized podcasts perfectly tailored to you based on your prompts, docs, or recommendations, and now it can also type for you and answer your questions.
ChatGPT and Gemini are great. But we know that our users, and a large segment of the population, want Voice AI to be front-and-center in their user experience ā not hidden behind an extra tab or an afterthought.
Speechify is building the voice operating system to meet their needs.
Voice typing & our Voice AI Assistant will soon be available on iOS/Android, our Mac App, Windows, and more.
Weāll also soon be adding additional Voice AI agentic workflows. Our vision is for Speechify to make a doctor's appointment and then follow up if they don't pick up for you or call a store and ask if they have a certain item in stock.
There are so many people working on Voice AI for customer support right now ā Speechify is empowering everyone in the world to have their own Voice AI assistant on the other end who works for you.

Iāve sold 2 startups for $8m & I now run a $6m+ arr company. people think that's success - but I'd disagree
the more I build, the more I realize the real game isnāt just building a great business, itās building a fulfilling life
a life where I can wake up excited to work on things I actually enjoy, and where my calendar doesnāt decide if Iām happy or not
the moments that really matter most arenāt always on a dashboard, theyāre also quiet walks with my wife, messy breakfasts with my kids and sometimes even late-night MarioKart sessions with friends
and donāt get me wrong, I still love what I build and I care deeply about my products & all the people who use them. I show up every day and give it everything I have
I still track the numbers every morning - they matter a lot - but theyāre not the only scoreboard
because in the last few years, Iāve realized how much I was missing when I obsessed over just one part of my life
so I stopped chasing the ānext big thingā and started optimizing for freedom, time, and energy - for the people and work I love
people call it a ālifestyle businessā like itās a small thing, but to me, itās the version of success that actually feels sustainable - and real
šThank you mas @AndriFuture ! Likewise, very impressed by all your insights and tweets in finance/investing. I think I discovered your profile from Reddit š
Thank you shifu! still recall your words of encouragement and all of our convos last year, that really gave me strength. Hope you & your family are doing well thereš«”
5 months into fatherhood, I get this deeply.
I used to think having everything figured outācareer, finances, plansāwas the prerequisite for becoming a parent. Then she arrived, and none of that mattered as much as just being there.
She redefined purpose for me. Nothing compares

It's probably just my feed, but I see a lot of talk about getting married and having kids. Looking back at my life, career vs kids. There is no competition, family is the best. I was raised to basically get married young and have kids. Growing up (in CA) that was not generally accepted and people thought it was strange and often had critical views towards it. All I can say now is that I'm so happy I got married and had kids in my twenties. I recognize everyone is different. But if you can, I recommend it. Of course marriage is hard. Of course kids are hard. And it's expensive. But if you can find someone you love, be truly dedicated to each other, and put everything in it, the rewards are so great. Like anything good, it's hard work.

šØš»āš»We needed a way to efficiently ship 100s of important, but non-critical screens in the @Shopify app. But Webviews are slow, janky, and have terrible UX. So, we made them fast, look native, and feel native.
We first made them 6x faster by preloading, caching, and pooling šļø.
