Whether you want to see the NYC tech scene, feel the energy of an awesome conference, or level up your code, I’ve got you covered:
My Day as a Software Engineer in NYC: Coding + Meetups: [youtu.be/JVggtWB975w].
Day in the Life of a Software Engineer: NYC to Philly AI Tech Summit!: [youtu.be/ycB-XY9Br_0?si=DQz0…].
VLOG: Inside the Commit Your Code Conference (So Nice I Had To Do It TWICE!): [youtu.be/Nw0LqAIWXfA].
WORKSHOP: Learning TypeScript? Here's a Crash Course in MCP for Beginners: [youtu.be/jgMOypYls6s].
Thanks to my friend @AronovBenjamin for the invite! I had a blast at “NYC AI Builder Nights” at Fabrik in Tribeca.
I got to see some really cool stuff being done at Vonage, and the project demos from the attendees are just what I need to get excited for the next one.
Ouch!!! I accidentally made a fix request in Cursor agent mode with Opus 5.5 as the model.
I was under the impression it was using Claude 5.5.
I should have been more careful, and it ended up costing me 21% of my usage.
I removed Opus so fast after that.
🤣🤣
Fam! If you don’t have any plans this weekend, can y’all please go and watch Street Fighter?
I swear the movie is a good watch. Box office numbers are low, and us fans might get cooked and not see the sequel if the box office doesn’t pick up.
#DOITFORIZZY
I’m confused, folks insisting we’re in a recession and broke, yet here I am, unable to snag the new iPhone Duo until January next year.
I thought we ain’t got no money left.
HOW!!!!!????
Dear Street Fighter fans, we might need to create a word of mouth movement similar to the one from the 1978 Halloween movie.
The movie initially did poorly until word of mouth helped it succeed. If fans don’t support it, we might not see another SF in 20+ years.

"What SaaS are you building?"
"woah you're getting ahead of yourself. first my agentic cloud swarm is building internal clones of all the SaaS products we need for the main SaaS product to function. Currently they are building clones of heroku, beehiv, intercom and stripe"
Testing this in real time.... will update later!
I got tired of all the spam calls I was getting so I had @bot find my number listed on sites and file the removals. I made it a free skill so you can do the same. x.ai/bot/fUj6TYhiW_cjtzWvbsF…
@SpaceXSI @elonmusk
This was a great test for Grok Bot! I had an account but hadn’t used it until this skill by @MinimalDuck appeared in my feed.
For folks that care about this stuff: it only used about 1% of my weekly usage limit.
Food for thought,
-Just because you are loud does not mean you are right.
-Competency is more important than passion.
Reverting the changes worked for me (I am using Java 21, for your reference).
Hey Java devs, if you’re seeing a bunch of errors with Lombok, it’s probably not you—it’s a false positive!
It’s very likely that @cursor_ai and @code update have shipped or auto-updated Red Hat Java 1.57.0.
You might want to try going back to 1.56.

Most AI projects fail on execution, not the tech, whether it’s an enterprise rollout or a startup’s first product.
Call it AI psychosis: teams bolt AI onto everything and keep building just because they can, without asking what problem they’re solving or spending their time and resources with intent.
That’s why you build with people who live in AI every day. We know what works, we can tell the signal from the noise, and we know what to build and how to build it lean, so it drives real value for your business or product.
At Ship Systems, we work with enterprise teams, and we’re selective about startups. For a handful of VC-backed companies we believe in, we step in as the technical lead and build alongside the founders.
Senior onshore engineers. Your repo, your cloud, your accounts from the first commit. No lock-in.
