Hurts my heart that BioWare is gone. Still recall visiting that fledgling studio as a journo for a preview of Baldur’s Gate. Meeting Ray and Greg and their small team. Passionate. Creative. Genuine. Thanks to everyone there for so many great games and stories over the years. 😢

If you ask your mom "is the sky blue" she says "yes" immediately, that's jev. If you ask your dad "why is the sky blue" he talks for ten minutes, that's an LLM.

Bought new headlights for my Jeep that can be bluetooth controlled, the app sucked so bad on iOS that spent the whole afternoon decompiling the android app and moving it to a React native version I can run on my iPhone. After ~5hours it works! Blogpost coming soon

That 5% slap was epic
We’re sorry to see that OpenAI put out a note saying they plan to block Cursor users from accessing OpenAI models in three months. OpenAI models serve about 5% of Cursor user traffic, and we’re speaking with the OpenAI team to resolve this. Cursor was one of the very first users of OpenAI, we’ve worked closely with their team for years, and we’ve trusted their platform to be neutral infrastructure for our business.

You can now set Claude Code's output style to Concise. Claude leads with the result, keeps responses short, and still gives full detail when you ask. Turn it on in /config → Output style, or set "outputStyle": "Concise" in settings.json.

Lived through this first hand.
Most people building in Europe are technically excellent, but almost half a decade behind atm. Even the experienced engineers are embedded so deep in the old way of building that asking them to work agent-first feels like attacking their craft. "You want me to write in English instead of code?" "You want an agent to ship the feature?" They look at you like you're killing something sacred. Also, almost everyone there assumes the endgame is getting acquired by Google or selling to a bigger company. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking to an EU founder at an event, and he genuinely couldn't understand why we wouldn't want to be acquired. The mindset gap between SF and Europe is widening every month. Not a very pleasant thing to see.

Free app submitted to the Appstore, exited about this one !

TIL Claude Code pipes your live rate-limit numbers to the status line on every render. So I snapshot them and push them to a 32×8 LED matrix on my desk. Glanceable quota, no more surprise cutoffs. Pluggable providers so Codex can slot in later: github.com/nicolasguzca/awtr…
